Resumo
Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, which is chemically identical to lovastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate. Atazanavir, boosted or not, is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor and can greatly increase monacolin K exposure, raising the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
