Sintesi

Cyclosporine markedly increases systemic absorption of rifaximin, which is normally minimally absorbed. In patients with intact gut barrier this has been very large, and the consequences of such exposure are not well defined.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Cyclosporin and Rifaximin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Cyclosporin belongs to Miscellaneous; Rifaximin belongs to Anti Bacterial.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Cyclosporine inhibits P-glycoprotein, which limits rifaximin absorption, greatly increasing systemic rifaximin levels.

Cosa fare

Avoid combining where possible, particularly in patients with severe hepatic impairment. If used, monitor for adverse effects of rifaximin and for changes in cyclosporine levels.
