Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, identical to lovastatin, a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate. Darunavir, usually given with ritonavir or cobicistat, strongly inhibits CYP3A4, so monacolin K exposure may rise and cause myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Darunavir and Red yeast rice can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Darunavir belongs to Anti Virals; Red yeast rice belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Boosted darunavir inhibits CYP3A4, reducing monacolin K metabolism.

Cosa fare

Avoid the combination and use a statin less dependent on CYP3A4 such as pravastatin or rosuvastatin. Advise patients to report unexplained muscle pain or weakness.
