Resumo

Lopinavir, boosted with ritonavir, markedly raises ergotamine exposure. This can cause ergotism with severe peripheral and cerebral vasospasm, leading to ischemia of the limbs, bowel or brain.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Ergotamine and Lopinavir 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.

Ergotamine belongs to Central Nervous System; Lopinavir belongs to Anti Virals.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

Inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated metabolism of ergotamine by the ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor.

O que fazer
