Pharmacodynamic interaction
Since Latuma® acts primarily on the central nervous system, caution should be exercised when using the drug in combination with other central-action drugs and with alcohol.
Caution should be exercised while using Latuda® with drugs that extend the interval QT, such as antiarrhythmic drugs of the class IA (eg, quinidine, disopyramide) and class III (for example, amiodarone, sotalol), some antihistamines, some other antipsychotics and some anti-malarial drugs (eg, mefloquine).
Pharmacokinetic interaction
Simultaneous use of lourazidone and grapefruit juice has not been studied. Grapefruit juice inhibits isoenzyme CYP3A4 and may increase the concentration of lurasidone in the blood. Avoid the use of grapefruit juice during treatment with lurasidone.
The ability of other drugs to influence the drug Latuda®
Pharmacodynamic effect of lurasidone and its active metabolite ID-14283 is mediated by interaction with dopamine and serotonin receptors. Lurasidone and its active metabolite ID-14283 are metabolized mainly with the participation of isoenzyme CYP3A4.
Inhibitor inhibitors CYP3A4
Contraindicated the use of lurasidone with strong inhibitors of isoenzyme CYP3A4 (eg, bocepreviram, clarithromycin, cobicystate, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, posaconazole, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, telithromycin, voriconazole) (see "Contraindications").
Simultaneous use of lurasidone with a strong inhibitor of isoenzyme CYP3A4, ketoconazole, results in a 9- and 6-fold increase in the effect of lurasidone and its active metabolite ID-14283, respectively.
Simultaneous use of lurasidone with moderate isoenzyme inhibitors CYP3A4 (eg, diltiazem, erythromycin, fluconazole, verapamil) may increase the exposure of lurasidone. It is assumed that, with simultaneous application, moderate isoenzyme inhibitors CYP3A4 lead to a 2-5 fold increase in the exposure of isoenzyme substrates CYP3A4.
Simultaneous use of lourazidone with diltiazem (a sustained-release dosage form), a moderate isoenzyme inhibitor CYP3A4, increases the exposure of lourazidone and ID-14283 in 2.2 and 2.4 times, respectively (see section "Method of administration and dose"). The administration of diltiazem in a rapid-release dosage form may result in a more pronounced increase in lurasidone exposure.
Inductors of isoenzyme CYP3A4
Contraindicated simultaneous use of lurasidone with strong isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4 (for example, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin, St. John's wort, see the section "Contraindications").
Simultaneous application of lurasidone with a strong isoenzyme inducer CYP3A4, rifampicin, results in a 6-fold decrease in lurasidone exposure.
The use of lurasidone in combination with weak (eg, ardomafinil, amprenavir, aprepitant, prednisolone, rubinamide) or moderate (eg, bosentan, efavirenz, etravirine, modafinil, nafcillin) isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4, presumably, can lead to less,than 2-fold decrease in lurasidone exposure, at the time of application and for up to two weeks after discontinuation of taking isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4.
When combined with weak and moderate isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4, the effectiveness of lourazidone should be carefully monitored and the dosage adjusted if necessary.
Conveyors
Lurasidone is a substrate of P-glycoprotein and BCRP (protein resistance of breast cancer) in vitro, but the significance of this property in vivo not installed. Simultaneous use of lourazidone with P-glycoprotein inhibitors and BCRP may increase the exposure of lurasidone.
The ability of the drug Latuda® to influence other drugs
Simultaneous reception of lurasidone with midazolam, a sensitive isoenzyme substrate CYP3A4, leads to an increase in the exposure of midazolam by less than 1.5 times. It is recommended that proper monitoring be done when combined with lourazidone and isoenzyme substrates CYP3A4 with a known narrow therapeutic range (eg, astemizole, terfenadine, cisapride, pimozide, quinidine, bepridil or ergot alkaloids [ergotamine, dihydroergotamine]).
You can apply lourazidone in combination with digoxin (P-glycoprotein substrate), since, with their simultaneous use, the digoxin exposure did not increase, and C only slightly increasedmOh (1.3 times). Lurasidone in vitro is an inhibitor of the efflux transporter of P-glycoprotein, therefore the clinical significance of P-glycoprotein inhibition in the intestine can not be ruled out. Simultaneous use of the substrate of the D-glycoprotein dabigatran etexilate can lead to an increase in the concentration of dabigatran in the blood.
Lurasidone in vitro is an efflux transporter inhibitor BCRP, therefore it is impossible to exclude the clinical significance of inhibition BCRP in the intestine. Simultaneous use of lourazidone with substrates BCRP can lead to an increase in the concentration of these substrates in the blood.
Simultaneous use of lourazidone with lithium preparations showed that lithium does not have a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of lurasidone. Thus, there is no need to adjust the dose of lurasidone when used in combination with lithium preparations. Lurasidone does not affect the concentration of lithium.
According to studies of drug interactions, the combined use of lourazidone and combined oral contraceptives, including norgestim and ethinyl estradiol, did not lead to a clinically and statistically significant effect of lurasidone on the pharmacokinetics of contraceptives or on the concentration of globulin binding sex hormones. Consequently, lourazidone can be used in combination with oral contraceptives.
