Sintesi

Darunavir, usually given with ritonavir or cobicistat, substantially raises simvastatin concentrations and the risk of rhabdomyolysis. The combination is contraindicated in labeling.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Darunavir and Simvastatin 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.

Darunavir belongs to Anti Virals; Simvastatin belongs to Cardiovascular.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Darunavir and its pharmacokinetic booster inhibit CYP3A4, blocking first-pass and hepatic metabolism of simvastatin.

Cosa fare

Do not co-administer; stop simvastatin during darunavir therapy and use an alternative such as pravastatin or low-dose atorvastatin or rosuvastatin with monitoring.
