Sintesi

Ritonavir substantially increases colchicine exposure, and life-threatening or fatal colchicine toxicity has been reported. Toxicity may include severe gastrointestinal illness, rhabdomyolysis, pancytopenia and multiorgan failure. The combination is contraindicated in patients with renal or hepatic impairment and requires major dose reduction in others.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Colchicine and Ritonavir are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Colchicine belongs to Genitourinary; Ritonavir belongs to Anti Virals.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Ritonavir is a potent CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor, which markedly reduces colchicine clearance.

Cosa fare

Do not combine in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. In patients with normal organ function where co-administration cannot be avoided, follow the labeled markedly reduced colchicine dosing and avoid repeating flare treatment for several days.
