Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS CYP3A4 Inhibitor: Reduce the dose of ISTURISA by half with concomitant use of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ( 7.1 ) CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 Inducers: An increase of ISTURISA dosage may be needed if ISTURISA is used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 inducers. A reduction in ISTURISA dosage may be needed if strong CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 inducers are discontinued while using ISTURISA ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on ISTURISA The effect of other drugs on ISTURISA can be found in Table 3.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypocortisolism : Monitor patients closely for hypocortisolism and potentially life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. Dosage reduction or interruption may be necessary. After interruption or discontinuation of ISTURISA, cortisol suppression may persist and patients should be regularly monitored ( 5.1 ) QTc Prolongation : Perform electrocardiogram in all patients Use with caution in patients with risk factors for QTc prolongation ( 5.2 ) Elevations in Adrenal Hormone Precursors and Androgens: Monitor for hypokalemia, worsening of hypertension, edema, and hirsutism ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypocortisolism ISTURISA lowers cortisol levels and can lead to hypocortisolism and sometimes life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None ( 4 )
