Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

maribavir tecovirimat

Applies to: Livtencity (maribavir) and tecovirimat

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of maribavir, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When maribavir (400 mg twice daily) was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifampin (600 mg once daily), maribavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 39% and 60%, respectively. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent inducers.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of maribavir should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

tecovirimat food

Applies to: tecovirimat

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may increase the extent of tecovirimat absorption following oral administration. When the recommended oral dose of tecovirimat (600 mg every 12 hours) was administered with a meal (approximately 600 calories and 25 g of fat) in healthy adults weighing less than 120 kg, tecovirimat absorption increased by 39% relative to fasting.

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
