Outline
 Review principles of drug interactions
 Understand how the pharmacology of DAAs
contribute to drug interactions
 Highlight important HCV drug interactions
 Outline a strategy for identifying and managing drug
interactions
 Identify pertinent HCV drug interaction resources
Drug Interactions
 Pharmacodynamic
 Change in pharmacological effect of a drug
 Additive, synergistic, or antagonistic activity or toxicity
 e.g., ribavirin + AZT =  anemia
 Pharmacokinetic
 Change in the amount of drug(s) in body
 Absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination may
be affected
 Often involves CYP450 system or transporters
Interactions Affecting Drug Metabolism
 Majority of drugs transformed to inactive forms prior to elimination
through Phase I (oxidation) or Phase II (conjugation) reactions
 Phase I primarily involves cytochrome P450 system
 Superfamily of microsomal heme-containing enzymes
 Primarily located in liver, small bowel; also kidney, lung, brain
 CYP3A is the most abundantly expressed isoenzyme, is involved in
the metabolism of ~50% of clinically used drugs
 others: CYP2D6, 2C9, 2B6, 1A2, etc.
 P-glycoprotein
 Efflux membrane transporter which prevents drug accumulation in
cells; has broad substrate specificity, and inhibiting or inducing the
activity of this protein can lead to significant alterations in drug
exposure

Common Examples
Substrate
Agent which is
primarily cleared via a
certain enzymatic
pathway
Rate of drug
breakdown is affected
by presence of enzyme
inhibitors or enzyme
inducers
antidepressants, azoles,
benzodiazepines, statins,
corticosteroids, calcium
channel blockers,
macrolides, rifamycins, HIV
PIs & NNRTIs
Inhibitor
Agent which competes
with another drug for
binding at enzymatic
site
Decreased clearance
macrolides, azoles, HIV
of substrate drug; quick protease inhibitors
onset & resolution of
interaction effect
Inducer
Drug that stimulates
the production of
additional metabolic
enzymes
Increased clearance of
substrate drug; slower
onset and resolution of
interaction effect

Potential Consequences of DAA Drug Interactions
 Interactions may occur in a two-way manner:
 Concentrations of DAA may be altered by other
drug(s)
 Concentrations of concomitant drug(s) may be
altered by DAA
 Potential consequences include:
 Increased risk of toxicity
 Decreased efficacy
Statin Interactions
 Most statins are P450
substrates
 DAAs can significantly
increase statin levels:
 Atorvastatin: 130%  with
boceprevir,
7.88-fold  with telaprevir
 Pravastatin: 60%  with
boceprevir
  risk of toxicity, including
myopathy and rhabdomyolysis

Methadone Interactions
 Methadone is metabolized by CYP2B6, CYP2C19 & CYP3A,
85% protein bound; R-isomer is biologically active enantiomer
 Boceprevir interaction:
 In the presence of steady-state boceprevir, R-methadone AUC  16%,
Cmax  10%; no clinical effects noted including opioid withdrawal
 Boceprevir exposures not affected by methadone
 Telaprevir interaction:
 In the presence of steady-state telaprevir, R-methadone Cmin  31%,
Cmax  21% and AUC  21%, but median unbound Cmin of
R-methadone was similar before and during telaprevir
coadministration and no withdrawal symptoms were noted
 A priori methadone dose adjustments are not required when initiating
DAA therapy, but close monitoring is recommended, with methadone
dose adjustments if necessary
Hulskotte et al. 2012, Van Heeswijk et al. 2011.
Hormonal Contraceptives with DAAs
 Hormonal contraceptives may not be as effective in
women taking boceprevir or telaprevir
 Boceprevir (Victrelis):
 99%  AUC drospirenone, 24%  AUC EE
 Use 2 alternate effective methods of contraception
during treatment with BOC and Peg IFN/RBV
 Drospirenone (Yaz®, Yasmin®, Angelique®) is
contraindicated
 Telaprevir (Incivek):
 28%  AUC, 33%  Cmin of EE
 Use 2 additional non-hormonal methods of effective
birth control during TVR dosing and for 2 months after
the last intake of TVR.
Benzodiazepine Interactions
 Majority are substrates of CYP3A4
 Risk for prolonged/excessive sedation
 Oral midazolam & triazolam are contraindicated with
boceprevir and telaprevir
 IV midazolam: consider  dose, close monitoring
for respiratory depression or prolonged sedation
 Other benzodiazepines:  dose and monitor
 Consider using benzodiazepines that are
glucuronidated:
 Lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam
Inhaled Corticosteroids
 Corticosteroids are CYP3A4 substrates
 Potential for  corticosteroid concentrations resulting in
significantly reduced serum cortisol concentrations
 Inhaled/nasal fluticasone, budesonide:
 Avoid co-administration with HCV PIs if possible,
particularly for extended durations.
 May wish to use corticosteroid associated with less
adrenal suppression (e.g., beclomethasone, ciclesonide)
 Use lowest possible dose, consider non-steroidal
options
Victrelis & Incivek. Product Monographs, 2011
PDE5 Inhibitors
(sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil)
 PDE5 inhibitors are substrates of CYP3A4
 Potential for DAAs to  concentrations
 Dose-related side effects (headache, vasodilation,
dyspepsia, visual disturbances)
 Contraindicated with DAAs if using for PAH
 For erectile dysfunction, use a lower dose with DAAs:
 Sildenafil: 25 mg q48h, tadalafil: 10 mg q72h
 Do not use vardenafil
Interactions Between HCV & HIV Medications
 Challenges in treating HIV/HCV co-infected patients
 Additive toxicities:
 Anemia: ribavirin, zidovudine, DAAs
 CNS: interferon, efavirenz
 Potential for negative 2-way interactions
  concentrations of HIV agents
  concentrations of HCV DAAs

Managing Drug Interactions:
1) Medication Reconciliation
 Ensure medication records are up to date at each visit
 Prescription, OTC, vitamins/herbals, recreational
drugs, inhalers, topical, prn agents
 Confirm doses, prn drugs
 Include all agents that have been started or stopped
 Patient education:
 Encourage patients to ask before taking any new
prescription/non-prescription drug or supplement
 Communication with other HCP!
Managing Drug Interactions:
2) Identify Potential Interactions
 Use a systematic approach to identify combinations of
potential concern
 Apply knowledge of known PK characteristics
 Overlapping CYP pathways, substrate, inducer,
inhibitor
 High index of suspicion with key classes of drugs
 Utilize current drug information resources:
 Product monographs, CPS, literature
 Conference abstracts, specialized HCV drug
interaction websites

Managing Drug Interactions:
Therapeutic Options
 Determine clinical significance
 Evaluate therapeutic options:
 Alter drug dose/dosing frequency
 Substitute with alternate agent
 Can any drugs be permanently or temporarily
discontinued while on DAA treatment?
 Consider patient convenience and cost factors
 Patient counselling & close monitoring is critical
Summary
 High potential for pharmacokinetic interactions between
directly acting antivirals and other drug classes
 Consequences may include therapeutic failure and
increased toxicity
 Often, interactions can be managed, but heightened
level of awareness is needed
 Use a systematic approach to identify and manage
individual drug regimens
 Importance of a specialized, inter-disciplinary team
including pharmacy
