Special pharmacokinetic studies of drug interactions between fosamprenavir and other drugs have been carried out. In addition, extensive studies of interactions between amprenavir, the active metabolite of fosamprenavir, and other drugs have been conducted.
Given that fosamprenavir is exposed in the intestine to the parietal metabolism, rapidly and to a large extent transforming into amprenavir, and that the concentrations of amprenavir in plasma are comparable after taking amprenavir and fosamprenavir. major pharmacokinetic interactions of amprenavir can be extrapolated to fosamprenavir. Pharmacokinetic studies of the properties of fosamprenavir were performed only in adults.
Metabolic interactions (cytochrome isoenzyme CYP3A4)
Amprenavir, an active metabolite of fosamprenavir, is mainly metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Drugs that are metabolized in the same way or change the activity of the cytochrome isoenzyme CYP3A4. may alter the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. The same way fosamprenavir can affect the pharmacokinetics of other drugs, the metabolism of which proceeds along the same path.
Ritonavir is a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A. Ritonavir also inhibits the isoenzyme CYP2D6 and stimulates the activity of the isoenzymes CYP3A4, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, as well as glucuronosyl transferase. Amprenavir is a less potent inhibitor of the CYP3A4 isoenzyme compared with ritonavir. If a low dose of ritonavir is needed to improve the pharmacokinetic profile of amprenavir, the complete instructions for the use of ritonavir should be consulted.
Prohibited combinations
Fosamprenavir should not be administered concomitantly with cytochrome P450 ZA4 isoenzyme substrates (CYP3A4), which have a narrow therapeutic range of concentrations. The combined use of such drugs and Tselsir can lead to competitive inhibitionmetabolism of these drugs and potentially create conditions for serious and / or life-threatening adverse reactions such as cardiac arrhythmia (eg, terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride and pimozide), arterial hypotension (eg alpha-blocker alfuzosin), prolonged sedation or respiratory function suppression (eg, triazolam, midazolam, diazepam, flurazepam, quetiapine), spasm of peripheral vessels or ischemia (eg, ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, ergonovin and methylergonovine).
Do not use fosamprenavir concomitantly with alfuzosin, flecainide, propafenone, delavirdine, St. John's wort perforated.
Do not use fosamprenavir simultaneously with sildenafil in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. There is an increased risk of serious unwanted reactions associated with the use of sildenafil.
Concomitant use of rifampicin with amprenavir reduces AUC and Cmin Amprenavir in blood plasma by 82% and 92%, respectively. Co-administration of Talsir with rifampicin is contraindicated in connection with the expected decrease in the concentration of amprenavir in blood plasma.
Interaction with antiretroviral drugs
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Efavirenz: in adults efavirenz reduces the values of Cmax, Cmin, ss and AUC of amprenavir by approximately 40%. There are no recommendations on the combined use of fosamprenavir and efavirenz.
Co-administration of efavirenz (600 mg once daily) with fosamprenavir and ritonavir (fosamprenavir 1400 mg once a day and ritonavir 200 mg once a day) reduces the AUC value of amprenavir by 13%, Cmin-by 36%. An increase in the dose of ritonavir up to 300 mg once a day maintains the concentration of amprenavir in blood plasma. When efavirenz (600 mg once a day) is prescribed together with fosamprenavir and ritonavir 2 times a day (fosamprenavir 700 mg and ritonavir 100 mg), the concentration of amprenavir in plasma did not change significantly.
Nevirapine: with the simultaneous administration of fosamprenavir (1400 mg twice daily) and nevirapine (200 mg twice daily), AUC, Cmah and Cmin amprenavir decreased by 33%, 25% and 35%, respectively. In this case, AUC, Cmah and Cmin nevirapine increased by 29%. 25% and 34%, respectively. It is not possible to formulate recommendations on the dosing regimen of a combination of fosamprenavir and nevirapine.When combined, these drugs should be used with caution, since the efficacy of fosamprenavir may decrease due to a lower and potentially sub-therapeutic concentration in the blood plasma.
With the combined administration of fosamprenavir (700 mg twice daily), ritonavir (100 mg twice daily), and nevirapine (200 mg twice daily), the effect of nevirapine on the pharmacokinetic parameters of fosamprenavir is partially compensated by ritonavir, which results in a less significant decrease in AUC and Cmin amprenavir by 11% and 19% respectively, Cmax does not change. In this case, AUC, Cmax and Cmin nevirapine increased by 14%, 13% and 22%, respectively. Thus, with the recommended combination, dosage adjustment is not required.
A single-dose regimen of fosamprenavir and ritonavir was not studied. Joint use of nevirapine and fosamprenavir without ritonavir is not recommended.
E etravirine: when co-administered with etravirine fosamprenavir + ritonavir, AUC, Cmin and Cmax amprenavir increased by 69%, 77% and 62%, respectively. Indicators AUC, Сmin and Сmax etravirin did not significantly change (but compared with the available control data).
When using Telsir, you may need to adjust the dosage regimen (you should consider the appointment of the preparation Telzir® in the form of a suspension for oral administration).
Delavirdine: AUC, Cmah and Cmin delavirdine decreased, respectively, by 61%, 47% and 88% with concomitant administration with amprenavir. AUC. FROMmah and Cmin amprenavir increased by 130%, 40% and 125%, respectively. Due to a significant reduction in delavirdine concentrations, simultaneous administration of fosamprenavir and delavirdine is not recommended. It is not possible to formulate recommendations for doses of delavirdine when combined with fosamprenavir. With the joint use of these drugs should be careful, because the efficacy of delavirdine may decrease due to a lower and potentially sub-therapeutic concentration in the blood plasma.
Nucleoside and / or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
When combined with fosamprenavir with the following antiretroviral drugs: zidovudine, didanosine, stavudine, lamivudine, abacavir and tenofovir there is no need to correct the dosage regimen.
HIV protease inhibitors
There are no specific recommendations for a dosing regimen using fosamprenavir in combination with other HIV protease inhibitors, except for ritonavir.
Ritonavir: The dose of fosamprenavir should be reduced when used in combination with ritonavir (see "Dosage and Administration"). It is also necessary to read the instructions for the use of ritonavir for more information on drug interactions.
Lopinavir + ritonavir: indicators Cmah, AUC and Cmmin For lopinavir remained unchanged when receiving the combination lopinavir + ritonavir (533 mg + 133 mg twice daily for 2 weeks) together with fosamprenavir (1400 mg twice a day for 2 weeks) when compared with the standard regimen combinations lopinavir + ritonavir (400 mg + 100 mg twice daily). At the same time, the Cmah, AUC AND Cmin for combination with amprenavir were 13%, 26% and 42% less, respectively, but compared to the values obtained by taking the combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir (700 mg + 100 mg twice daily for 2 weeks). The optimal dose of this combination in terms of safety and efficacy is not established.Simultaneous use is not recommended.
Indinavir: with combined use of amprenavir (750 mg or 800 mg 3 times daily) and indinavir (800 mg 3 times a day on an empty stomach) for 2 weeks, the value of Cmah, AUC and Cmin in the equilibrium state for amprenavir increased by 18%. 33% and 25%, respectively. Cmax, AUC and Cmin indinavir in a state of equilibrium decreased by 22%, 38% and 27%. respectively.
Saquinavir: with combined use of amprenavir (750 mg or 800 mg 3 times daily) and saquinavir (800 mg 3 times daily after meals) for 2 weeks, the value of Cmah, AUC and Cmin amprenavir in the equilibrium state decreased by 37%. 32% and 14%, respectively. FROMmIn the equilibrium state, saquinavir increased by 21%. and the values of AUC and Cmin saquinavir in the equilibrium state decreased by 19% and 48%. respectively.
Nelfinavir: with the combined use of amprenavir (750 mg or 800 mg 3 times daily) and nelfinavir (750 mg 3 times daily after meals) for 2 weeks, the value of Cmah and Cmin Amprenavir in the equilibrium state decreased by 14% and increased by 189%, respectively. FROMmah, AUC and Cmin of nelfinavir in the equilibrium state increased by 12%, 15% and 14%, respectively.
Atazanavir: a joint fosamprenavir + ritonavir(700 mg + 100 mg twice daily) and atazanavir (300 mg once a day) for 10 days did not affect the equilibrium pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. Area under the pharmacokinetic curve "concentration-time" at the end of the dosing period (AUC(0-t)) atazanavir in blood plasma decreased by 22%, Cmah - by 24%, and Ct remained unchanged compared to the values obtained for the combination atazanavir + ritonavir (300 mg + 100 mg once a day).
HIV integrase inhibitors
Raltegravir: with the simultaneous administration of fosamprenavir (1400 mg twice daily) and raltegravir (400 mg twice daily), amprenavir concentrations decreased in healthy volunteers (Cmin decreased by 33%) and raltegravir (Cmin decreased by 68%) in blood plasma (values obtained when taking on an empty stomach).
Joint administration of fosamprenavir (without ritonavir) and raltegravir is not recommended, as this may lead to a decrease in the content of amprenavir in the blood plasma to subtherapeutic concentrations. Reduction of concentrations of amprenavir Cmin by 19-33% and raltegravir Cmin by 36-54% was observed when the combination was combined fosamprenavir + ritonavir (700 mg + 100 mg twice daily) and raltegravir (400 mg twice daily). Decreased concentrations of amprenavir Cmin by 17-50% and raltegravir Cmin by 25-41% was observed after the combined administration of the combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir (1400 mg + 100 mg once a day) and raltegravir (400 mg twice daily). The clinical significance of this decline is unknown.
Significant reduction in exposure and Cmin, established for both amprenavir and raltegravir, (especially when taking a beggar) may lead to virologic failure in patients.
CCR5 chemokine receptor antagonists
Maraviroc: a decrease in the concentration of amprenavir in blood plasma after 12 hours Cmin 36% were observed with the following treatment regimen: 700 mg of fosamprenavir and 100 mg of ritonavir 2 times a day in combination with maraviroc 300 mg twice daily. As well as a decrease in the concentration of amprenavir in the blood plasma after 24 hours of C2411 by 15% with fosamprenavir 1400 mg and ritonavir 100 mg once a day in combination with maraviroc 300 mg once a day. Clinical studies have shown comparative efficacy between a combination of fosamprenavir + ritonavir and maraviroc 150 mg twice daily and other HIV protease inhibitors in conjunction with ritonavir and maraviroc 150 mg twice daily. The exposure of the maraviroc increases approximately 2-fold with the combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir. When assigning a combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir with maraviroc is recommended maraviroc in a dose of 150 mg 2 times a day. Dose adjustment for combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir not required.
Simultaneous application of maraviroc in a dose of 300 mg 2 times a day and combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir Not recommended. There is a significant decrease in Cmin amprenavir, which can lead to virological failure in patients.
Medicines against hepatitis C
Telaprevir: The combined use of fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir and telaprevir leads to a decrease in the concentration of amprenavir and telaprevir in the blood plasma. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. The combined use of fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir and telaprevir is not recommended.
Boceprevir: not studied. Based on the results of a study comparing the use of boceprevir with other HIV protease inhibitors, the joint use of bocetrevir with a combination of fosamprenavir + ritonavir, is likely to lead to subtherapeutic levels of bocepreviram and amprenavir. Joint application boceprevir with fosamprenavir and ritonavir is not recommended.
Antibiotics and / or antifungal medications
Clarithromycin: ritonavir increases the concentration in the blood plasma of clarithromycin. A decrease in the dose of clarithromycin should be considered with the appointment of a combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir in patients with renal insufficiency.
Erythromycin: a pharmacokinetic study of fosamprenavir in combination with erythromycin has not been conducted. However, the concentrations of both drugs in the blood plasma can increase with a combined appointment.
Ketoconazole or itraconazole: amprenavir increases the concentration of ketoconazole in the blood plasma and, presumably, also increases the concentration of itraconazole. Do not use high doses of ketoconazole and itraconazole (more than 200 mg per day) concomitantly with taking fosamprenavir without first assessing the benefit-risk ratio.
Rifampicin: rifampicin is a strong inducer of the cytochrome isoenzyme CYP3A4. Co-administration with amprenavir leads to a decrease in Cmin and AUC of amprenavir by 92% and 82%, respectively. Rifampicin is contraindicated in conjunction with fosamprenavir.
Rifabutin: The combined use of amprenavir and rifabutin increases rifabutin concentrations in blood plasma by 200% (AUC) and increases the amount of unwanted reactions associated with rifabutin. With the simultaneous administration of ritonavir and rifabutin, the concentration of rifabutin can increase significantly. It is recommended to reduce the dose of rifabutin by at least 50% of the recommended dose with simultaneous appointment with fosamprenavir and at least 75% of the recommended dose when taking fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir. Careful medical follow-up is necessary, further reduction of the dose may be required.
Other medications
Antacids: a decrease in AIJC and Cmax amprenavir by 18% and 35%, respectively, with a simultaneous increase in Cmin (C12h) by 14% when taking a single dose of 1400 mg of fosamprenavir together with a single intake of 30 ml of an antacid suspension (equivalent to 2.75 g of aluminum hydroxide and 1.8 g of magnesium hydroxide).
Correction of a dose of any of the listed preparations at combined application is not required.
Antagonists H2-histamine receptors: the concentration of amprenavir in the blood may decrease with the combined use of antagonists H2-histamine receptors (for example, ranitidine and cimetidine). Joint use of ranitidine (a single dose of 300 mg) with fosamprenavir (a single dose of 1400 mg) reduces the AUC of amprenavir in blood plasma by 30% and Cmah - by 51%.
However, the amprenavir Cmin (C12h) remains unchanged. Dose adjustments for co-administration for any of the drugs indicated herein are not required.
Proton pump inhibitors: the combined use of fosamprenavir (1400 mg twice daily) and esomeprazole (20 mg once daily) for 14 days did not result in a change in AUC, Cmax or Cmin of amprenavir in blood plasma increased esomeprazole AUC in blood plasma by 55% and tmax by 1 hour, without affecting CmOh. The combined use of esomeprazole (20 mg once daily) and fosamprenavir (700 mg twice daily) in combination with ritonavir (100 mg twice daily) for 14 days did not result in a change in AUC, Cmax or Cmin Amprenavir in blood plasma and AUC or Cmah esomeprazole, tmax extended by 1 hour. Dose adjustments for co-administration for any of the drugs indicated herein are not required.
With the simultaneous use of fosamprenavir with drugs such as amiodarone, quinidine, lidocaine (systemic route of administration), tricyclic antidepressants and warfarin, it is required to control the concentrations of these drugs in the blood plasma in connection with the possibility of developing life-threatening conditions. For warfarin, it is necessary to monitor the international normalized relationship (INR).
The following list of drugs is an example of substrates, inhibitors or inducers of the cytochrome isoenzyme CYP3A4, which can interact with fosamprenavir when used simultaneously. The list is not exhaustive. The clinical significance of these potential interactions is unknown and is not fully understood. In this regard, special attention should be paid to monitoring the toxic effects of these drugs while taking them with fosamprenavir.
Colchicine: patients with impaired renal or hepatic function should not apply colchicine together with fosamprenavir and ritonavir.
Boszentan: The joint administration of bosentan to patients receiving fosamprenavir Patients receiving fosamprenavir at least 10 days, bosentan should be prescribed at a dose of 62.5 mg I once a day or every other day, depending on individual tolerability.
The co-administration of fosamprenavir to patients receiving bosentan Stop taking bosentan at least 36 hours before taking fosamprenavir. After at least 10 days from the start of taking fosamprenavir, resume bosentan at a dose of 62.5 mg once a day or every other day, depending on individual tolerability.
Alfuzosin: Serum concentration in the blood serum may increase, which can lead to an increased risk of developing hypotension. Simultaneous assignment is not recommended.
Anticonvulsants: simultaneous administration of anticonvulsants, enzyme inducers (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine), with fosamprenavir without combined administration with low doses of ritonavir can lead to a decrease in the concentration of amprenavir in blood plasma.
Phenytoin: AUC and Cmin amprenavir increased by 20% and 19%. respectively. here Cmah did not change with the simultaneous use of fosamprenavir (700 mg twice a day) in combination with ritonavir (100 mg twice a day) and phenytoin (300 mg once a day). AUC. FROMmax AND Cmin phenytoin decreased by 22%, 20% and 29%, respectively.Thus, the use of fosamprenavir and ritonavir in combination with phenytoin does not require a change in the dosage regimen of fosamprenavir and ritonavir. However, it is recommended to monitor the concentration of phenytoin in the blood plasma and, if necessary, increase the dose of phenytoin. The mode of application of fosamprenavir and ritonavir was not examined once a day.
Benzodiazepines (alprazolam, clorazepam, diazepam, flurazepam, midazolam, triazolam): it is possible to increase their concentrations in the serum, which may lead to an increase in their activity.
Tricyclic antidepressants (desipramine, nortriptyline): not studied. An increase in concentration is expected (moderate inhibition of ritonavir CYP2D6). It is recommended to carefully monitor the therapeutic and undesirable reactions of tricyclic antidepressants.
Calcium channel blockers (amlodipine, diltiazem, felodipine, izradipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, nimodipine, nisoldipine and verapamil): it is possible to increase their concentrations in the serum, which can lead to an increase in their activity and toxicity.
Dexamethasone: can induce the cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme and lower the concentration of amprenavir in the blood plasma.
Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase-5: not studied.According to these other HIV protease inhibitors, the concentration of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (eg, sildenafil) in plasma may increase significantly with the simultaneous use of fosamprenavir. which can increase the incidence of adverse reactions of other phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. It is not recommended to use together with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction or pulmonary arterial hypertension (arterial hypotension, visual impairment, priapism). The simultaneous use of fosamprenavir and sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil is not recommended.
Fluticasone propionate (interaction with ritonavir): in healthy volunteers with simultaneous application within 7 days of 200 μg fluticasone propionate intranasally once a day and 100 mg ritonavir capsule 2 times a day, a significant increase in the concentrations of fluticasone propionate in blood plasma and a decrease in the level of endogenous cortisol by approximately 86%. An increased risk of developing systemic adverse reactions associated with the inhalation of fluticasone propionate is expected.Reports on the development of systemic adverse reactions include Cushing's syndrome, suppression of adrenal function in patients receiving ritonavir and fluticasone propionate by inhalation or intranasal route. Such an interaction is predicted for all glucocorticosteroids metabolized by cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Thus, the combined use of fluticasone propionate and ritonavir should be avoided, unless the potential benefit to the patient exceeds the risk of systemic corticosteroid reactions.
Halofantrine: The concentration of halophthrin in the blood plasma may increase when combined with fosamprenavir. which can lead to an increase in the incidence of adverse reactions associated with the use of halofantrine, such as cardiac arrhythmia. The combined use of these drugs is not recommended.
Inhibitors of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase): when combined with fosamprenavir, a marked increase in plasma concentrations of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, such as lovastatin and simvastatin, the metabolism of which largely depends on the isoenzyme of cytochrome CYP3A4. Since an increase in the concentration of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors can lead to myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis, the use of these drugs in combination with fosamprenavir is not recommended. FROMmah and AIJC atorvastatin increased by 304% and 130%. respectively, and Cmin decreased by 10% with the simultaneous use of atorvastatin (10 mg once a day for 4 days) and fosamprenavir (1400 mg twice a day for 2 weeks). FROMmah, AUC and Cmin amprenavir decreased by 18%. 27% and 12%, respectively. When combined with fosamprenavir, doses of atorvastatin should not be administered at a dose greater than 20 mg / day, while ensuring thorough control of the toxicity of atorvastatin. The same recommendations apply to the use of atorvastatin and fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir. Metabolism of pravastatin and fluvastatin does not depend on the isoenzyme of cytochrome CYP3A4, and therefore interactions with HIV protease inhibitors are not expected. If treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is indicated, the use of pravastatin or fluvastatin is recommended.
Immunosuppressive drugs: you can expect an increase in the concentration in the blood plasma of cyclosporine, rapamycin and tacrolimus with a simultaneous appointment with fosamprenavir.For this reason, frequent monitoring of therapeutic concentrations is recommended until the levels become stable.
Salmeterol: the joint administration of salmeterol and fosamprenavir is not recommended. This combination can lead to an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular reactions associated with salmeterol administration. such as QT interval elongation, heart palpitations and sinus.
Bepridil: the simultaneous administration of a combination of fosamprenavir + ritonavir and bepripid should be avoided due to the fact that amprenavir and ritonavir are inhibitors of the cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme involved in the metabolism of bepridil, which can lead to an increase in concentrations of bepridil in the blood and increase the risk of life-threatening arrhythmia.
Methadone: The combined use of a combination of fosamprenavir 700 mg with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily and methadone once a day (at a dose of <200 mg) for 14 days resulted in a decrease in AUC (0-t) and Cmax of the active (K) -enantiomer of methadone by 18% and 21%. The unbound fraction of R-methadone increased after 2 hours (12.4% compared to 8.5%) and after 6 hours (11.5% compared to 9.3%), but the concentration of unbound R-methadone (active) through 2 hours and 6 hours did not change significantly.Based on comparative historical data, methadone does not change the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. A similar effect on the concentration of methadone was observed with the simultaneous use of amprenavir (without ritonavir) and methadone. Based on these data, when a methadone with fosamprenavir is co-administered, dose adjustment is not required. As a precaution, the possible development of withdrawal symptoms in patients should be monitored.
Paroxetine: paroxetine concentrations in the blood plasma can be significantly reduced with simultaneous administration with fosamprenavir and ritonavir, therefore an adequate correction of the paroxetine dosage regimen is required depending on the clinical effect and tolerability.
Steroid drugs: the combined use of fosamprenavir in a dose of 700 mg 2 times a day in combination with ritonavir at a dose of 100 mg 2 times a day and the drug Brevinor (ethinyl estradiol (EE) 0.035 mg / norethisterone (NE) 0.5 mg) once a day reduced AUC (0-t) and Cmax EE in blood plasma by 37% and 28%. accordingly, and reduced AUC (O-t), FROMmah and Ct NEs by 34%, 38% and 26%. respectively. Co-administration with Brevinor significantly did not affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of amprenavir in plasma in equilibrium: however, AUC (0-t) and Cmax ritonavir were 45% and 63% higher, respectively, compared with the data obtained earlier in female patients receiving only a combination fosamprenavir + ritonavir. In addition to reducing the concentration of the hormonal contraceptive, the combined use of fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir and Brevinor caused a clinically significant increase in liver transaminase activity in some healthy patients. Thus, it is recommended that women capable of childbearing use alternative non-hormonal methods of contraception.
Preparations containing St. John's wort: the concentration of amprenavir in the blood may decrease due to the concomitant use of preparations containing St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). In this regard, preparations of St. John's wort should not be used simultaneously with therapy Telsir. The induction effect of St. John's wort can persist for 2 weeks after its cancellation.
Quetiapine: In connection with the inhibition of fosamprenavir by the isozyme CYP3A, an increase in the concentration of quetiapine is expected. Contraindicated in the combined use of fosamprenavir and quetiapine, as this may lead to an increase in toxicity associated with the use of quetiapine.An increase in the concentration of quetiapine in the blood plasma can lead to coma.
