Rifapicin
Refers to powerful isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4 systems of cytochrome P450. When combined with rifampicin, the bioavailability of nifedipine is significantly reduced and, accordingly, its effectiveness is reduced. Therefore, the use of rifampicin in combination with Osmo-Adalat® is contraindicated.
Simultaneous use of nifedipine with weak and moderate isoenzyme inhibitors CYP3A4 cytochrome P450 systems requires regular monitoring of blood pressure and, if necessary, reducing the dose of nifedipine. The preparations of this group include:
Antibiotics-macrolides (for example, erythromycin)
Clinical studies on the interaction of nifedipine and macrolide antibiotics have not been conducted. It is known that antibiotics-macrolides are inhibitors of the isoenzyme CYP3A4. Therefore, it is impossible to exclude the possibility of an increase in plasma concentrations of nifedipine when it is used simultaneously with antibiotic-macrolides. Azithromycin, belonging to the macrolide group, does not inhibit the isoenzyme CYP3A4.
HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir)
Clinical studies on the interaction of nifedipine and HIV protease inhibitors have not been conducted. It is known that preparations of this groups inhibit fromenzyme CYP3A4. HIV protease inhibitors inhibit isoenzyme-mediated CYP3A4 Nifedipine metabolism in vitro. With simultaneous use, a significant increase in plasma concentrations of nifedipine is possible due to a decrease in the effect of "primary passage" through the liver and delayed excretion.
Antifungal preparations of the azole group (for example, ketoconazole)
Clinical studies on the interaction of nifedipine and antifungal agents of the azole group were not carried out. It is known that these drugs inhibit the isoenzyme CYP3A4.
With simultaneous application with nifedipine, a significant increase in systemic bioavailability of nifedipine is possible due to a decrease in the effect of "primary passage" through the liver. Clinical studies on the possible interaction of nifedipine and fluoxetine have not been conducted. It is known that fluoxetine in vitro inhibits the metabolism of nifedipine due to the action of the isoenzyme CYP3A4. With simultaneous application with nifedipine, an increase in the plasma concentration of nifedipine is possible due to a decrease in the effect of "primary passage" through the liver.
Nefazodone
Clinical studies on the possible interaction of nifedipine and navezodon were not carried out. It is known that nefazodone inhibits the metabolism of nifedipine due to the action of the isoenzyme CYP3A4. With simultaneous application with nifedipine, an increase in the plasma concentration of nifedipine is possible due to a decrease in the effect of "primary passage" through the liver.
Quinupristine / dalfofustin
Simultaneous use of quinupristin / delfopristine with nifedipine may lead to an increase in plasma concentrations of nifedipine.
Valproic acid
Clinical studies on the possible interaction of nifedipine and valproic acid have not been conducted. Because the valproic acid causes an increase in the plasma concentration of nimodipine, BCCC, in a structure close to nifedipine, it can not be ruled out that the plasma concentration of nifedipine can be increased and its effectiveness increased.
Cimetidine
Cimetidine inhibits isoenzyme CYP3A4 and causes an increase in plasma concentrations of nifedipine, thereby increasing its antihypertensive effect.
Other studies:
Cisapride
The simultaneous use of cisapride with nifedipine may lead to an increase in plasma concentrations of nifedipine.
Antiepileptic drugs that induce isoenzyme CYP3A4 systems of cytochrome P450 (for example, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital)
Phenytoin
Fentoin induces isoenzyme CYP3A4. With the simultaneous use of nifedipine and phenytoin, there is a decrease in the bioavailability of nifedipine and a decrease in its effectiveness.When using this combination, you should monitor the effectiveness of nifedipine and, if necessary, increase its dose. After the withdrawal of phenytoin, the dose of nifedipine should be reduced.
Kapbamazepine, phenobarbital
Clinical studies on the possible interaction of nifedipine and carbamazepine or phenobarbital were not performed. Since both drugs reduce plasma concentrations of nimodipine, in a structure close to nifedipine, it can not be ruled out that the plasma concentration of nifedipine can be reduced and its effectiveness decreased.
Influence of nifedipine on other drugs
The antihypertensive effect of nifedipine may increase while the use of drugs to lower blood pressure, such as diuretics, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, other BCCI, alpha blockers, inhibitors of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE 5), alpha-methyldopa.
Digoxin
Nifedipine reduces the clearance of digoxin, which leads to an increase in its plasma concentration, so patients should establish a thorough clinical and ECG observation for the earlyidentifying symptoms digoxin overdose, if necessary, depending on the plasma concentrations of digoxin, the dose should be reduced.
Quinidine
In some cases, the simultaneous use of nifedipine and quinidine observed decrease in plasma concentrations of quinidine, as well as a marked increase in plasma concentrations after cancellation quinidine quinidine. Therefore, when using and / or removing nifedipine, the plasma concentration of quinidine should be monitored and, whennecessary, adjust its dose. In some cases, the application of this combination reported increase plasma concentrations of nifedipine, however when indicated the dose should be reduced. During the period of simultaneous therapy, it is necessary to monitor the plasma concentration of quinidine and AD.
Tacrolimus
Tacrolimus is metabolized with the participation of isoenzyme CYP3A4. In some cases with simultaneous use with nifedipine, a dose reduction of tacrolimus may be required. When using this combination, you should monitor the plasma concentration of tacrolimus and, if necessary, reduce its dose.
Magnesium sulfate
When Osmo-Adalat® is used together with intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate solution, careful monitoring of blood pressure is necessary because of the possibility of excessive reduction in blood pressure, which is dangerous for both the mother and fetus and / or newborn.
Food
Grapefruit juice inhibits isoenzyme CYP3A4, increases the plasma concentration of nifedipine and prolongs its effect due to a decrease in the effect of "primary passage" through the liver and a decrease in its clearance. At the same time, there is a antihypertensive action of nifedipine. With the regular use of grapefruit juice, this effect can persist for 3 days after the last intake of juice. In the future, it is recommended to avoid the simultaneous use of grapefruit or grapefruit juice with nifedipine.
Other types of interaction
Aimalin, benazepril, candesartan, debris, doxazosin, irbesartan, omeprazole, orlistat, pantoprazole, ranitidine, rosiglitazone, talinolol, triamterene +hydrochlorothiazide do not affect the pharmacokinetics of nifedipine.
Acetylsalic acid
Nifedipine does not affect the antiaggregant properties of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at a dose of 100 mg (platelet aggregation and bleeding time). ASA, in turn, does not affect the pharmacokinetic parameters of nifedipine.
