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

Sintesi

Imatinib inhibits CYP3A4 and can substantially increase lomitapide exposure. This raises the risk of hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal adverse effects. Lomitapide labeling contraindicates moderate and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Imatinib and Lomitapide 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.

Imatinib belongs to Oncology; Lomitapide belongs to Cardiovascular.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Imatinib inhibits CYP3A4, the main pathway of lomitapide metabolism, increasing its plasma concentrations.

Cosa fare

Do not coadminister. Use an alternative lipid-lowering strategy while imatinib is required, or interrupt lomitapide if imatinib is unavoidable and follow labeling.
