Avanafil + ErythromycinContraindicated

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Avanafil can potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates, alpha-blockers, antihypertensives, and alcohol ( 7.1 ) • CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir, erythromycin) increase avanafil exposure ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Potential for Pharmacodynamic Interactions with Avanafil Nitrates Administration of avanafil to patients who are using any form of organic nitrate, is contraindicated. Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Erythromycin (500 mg twice daily) increased avanafil 200 mg single-dose C max and AUC equal to approximately 2-fold and 3-fold, respectively, and prolonged the half-life of avanafil to approximately 8 hours in healthy volunteers. Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, amprenavir, aprepitant, diltiazem, fluconazole, fosamprenavir, and verapamil) would be expected to have similar effects.

Avanafil + RitonavirContraindicated

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Avanafil can potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates, alpha-blockers, antihypertensives, and alcohol ( 7.1 ) • CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir, erythromycin) increase avanafil exposure ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Potential for Pharmacodynamic Interactions with Avanafil Nitrates Administration of avanafil to patients who are using any form of organic nitrate, is contraindicated. Other potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., itraconazole, clarithromycin, nefazadone, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, atanazavir and telithromycin) would be expected to have similar effects. HIV Protease inhibitor — Ritonavir (600 mg twice daily), a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, which also inhibits CYP2C9, increased avanafil 50 mg single-dose C max and AUC equal to approximately 2-fold and 13-fold, and prolonged the half-life of avanafil to approximately 9 hours in healthy volunteers.
