Effect of omeprazole on the pharmacokinetics of other drugs
Decreased secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach during treatment with omeprazole may result in a decrease or increase in absorption of other medicines, the bioavailability of which is largely determined by the acidity of the gastric juice (incl. posaconazole, erlotinib, ketoconazole, itraconazole, digoxin, iron preparations and cyanocobalamin).
It should avoid the simultaneous use of omeprazole with posaconazole and erlotinib.
With simultaneous application atazanavir and nelfinavir with omeprazole, a significant decrease in their plasma concentration can be observed, therefore simultaneous use of these drugs is not recommended.
Bioavailability digoxin with simultaneous application with omeprazole increases by 10%. Special care should be taken when using these drugs at the same time in elderly patients.
In a cross-sectional clinical trial clopidogrel (loading dose 300 mg, maintaining a dose of 75 mg per day) in the form of monotherapy and in combination with omeprazole (80 mg inday at the same time as clopidogrel) was used for 5 days. In this case, the bioavailability of the active metabolite clopidogrel decreased by 46% (day 1) and 42% (day 5), the level of inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation decreased by 47% (day 1) and by 30% (day 5) with simultaneous application of omeprazole and clopidogrel. Another study found that the use of clopidogrel and omeprazole at different times does not exclude their interaction, which is probably due to the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on enzyme activity CYP2C19. Observations and clinical studies have produced conflicting data on the presence or absence of an increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications with simultaneous use of omeprazole and clopidogrel.
With simultaneous application with omeprazole, an increase in plasma concentration and an increase in the half-life warfarin (II- warfarin) and other antagonists of vitamin K, cilostazol, diazepam, phenytoin, and other drugs metabolized in the liver by isoenzyme CYP2C19 (a reduction in the doses of these drugs may be required).
When using omeprazole by patients receiving warfarin or other antagonists of vitamin K, careful monitoring of the international normalized relationship (INR) is necessary. In some cases, it may be necessary to reduce the dose of warfarin or another vitamin K antagonist. At the same time, in patients taking long-term warfarin, the joint use of omeprazole at a dose of 20 mg once a day did not cause a change in the coagulation time.
The use of omeprazole at a dose of 40 mg once a day in healthy volunteers led to an increase in Cmax and AUC cilostasopa by 18% and 26%, respectively; for one of the active metabolites thyrostasol the increase was 29% and 69%, respectively.
With simultaneous application phenytoin It is recommended to measure the concentration of phenytoin in the blood plasma during the first two weeks after the start of treatment with omeprazole. In some cases, a dose adjustment of phenytoin may be required. At the same time, patients with long-term phenytoin, simultaneous use with omeprazole at a dose of 20 mg once a day did not cause a change in the concentration of phenytoin in the blood plasma. Omeprazole with simultaneous application increases the plasma concentration tacrolimus, which may require dose adjustment. It is necessary to monitor the concentration tacrolimus in blood plasma, and also to measure the clearance of creatinine.
With simultaneous application with omeprazole there is an increase in plasma concentration saquinavir / ritonavir up to 70%, while the tolerability of treatment for patients with HIV infection does not deteriorate.
Some patients reported increased concentrations methotrexate against a background of joint application with the IPN. When assigning high doses methotrexate should consider the possibility of a temporary withdrawal of omeprazole.
Omeprazole does not affect the metabolism of drugs that are metabolized by isoenzyme CYP3A4, such as cyclosporine, lidocaine, quinidine, estradiol, erythromycin and budesonide.
The effect of drugs on the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole
Simultaneous application with inhibitors of isoenzymes CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 (such as clarithromycin, voriconazole) can lead to an increase in the plasma concentration of omeprazole due to a slowing of its metabolism.The simultaneous use of omeprazole and voriconazole may lead to an increase AUC omeprazole more than 2 times. As a rule, in such cases, there is no need for correction of the dose of omeprazole, however, this may be required in patients with severe impairment of liver function and with long-term use of omeprazole.
Inductors of isoenzymes CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 (eg, rifampicin, preparations of St. John's wort penetrated {Hypericum perforatum) can accelerate the metabolism of omeprazole, thereby reducing its concentration in the blood plasma.
No clinically significant interaction of omeprazole with antacids, theophylline, caffeine, S-warfarin, piroxicam, diclofenac, naproxen, quinidine, lidocaine, propranol, metoprolol, ethanol.
