Sofab LP interactions
Potential For Drug Interaction
As Sofab LP contains Sofab LP, any interactions that have been identified with these agents individually may occur with Sofab LP.
After oral administration of Sofab LP, Sofosbuvir (Sofab LP) is rapidly absorbed and subject to extensive first-pass hepatic extraction. In clinical pharmacology studies, both Sofosbuvir (Sofab LP) and the inactive metabolite GS-331007 were monitored for purposes of pharmacokinetic analyses. Ledipasvir (Sofab LP) is an inhibitor of the drug transporters P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and may increase intestinal absorption of coadministered substrates for these transporters.
Sofab LP are substrates of drug transporters P-gp and BCRP while GS-331007 is not. P-gp inducers (e.g., rifampin or St. John's wort) may decrease Sofab LP plasma concentrations, leading to reduced therapeutic effect of Sofab LP, and the use with P-gp inducers is not recommended with Sofab LP.
Established And Potentially Significant Drug Interactions
Table 4 provides a listing of established or potentially clinically significant drug interactions. The drug interactions described are based on studies conducted with either Sofab LP, the components of Sofab LP (Sofab LP) as individual agents, or are predicted drug interactions that may occur with Sofab LP.
Table 4 : Potentially Significant Drug Interactions: Alteration in Dose or Regimen May Be Recommended Based on Drug Interaction Studies or Predicted Interaction These interactions have been studied in healthy adults.
Drugs Without Clinically Significant Interactions With Sofab LP
