概要

Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, identical to lovastatin, whose clearance depends on CYP3A4. Saquinavir, usually boosted with ritonavir, strongly inhibits CYP3A4 and can raise levels enough to cause myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.

この相互作用をわかりやすく説明すると

Red yeast rice and Saquinavir 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.

エビデンスレベル: Moderate

なぜ起こるのか

Saquinavir (with ritonavir boosting) inhibits CYP3A4, increasing monacolin K (lovastatin) exposure.

対処法

Avoid the combination and stop red yeast rice. Use a statin less dependent on CYP3A4 if lipid lowering is required.
