摘要
Clarithromycin is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, and rifabutin is cleared largely by CYP3A4; clarithromycin also blocks its metabolism. Raised rifabutin exposure can lead to rifabutin toxicity including uveitis, neutropenia and arthralgia, while rifabutin lowers clarithromycin levels.
用白話說明這項交互作用的意義
Clarithromycin and Rifabutin can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Clarithromycin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Rifabutin belongs to Anti Bacterial.
為什麼會發生
CYP3A4 inhibition by clarithromycin reduces first-pass and systemic clearance of rifabutin
處置方式
Avoid if an alternative exists; otherwise reduce the rifabutin dose per labelling, monitor closely for toxicity and recheck after the inhibitor is stopped.
