The stored summary is: 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Drugs Having Clinically Important Interactions with ARISTADA Table 10: Clinically Important Drug Interactions with ARISTADA Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors and CYP2D6 Inhibitors Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of oral aripiprazole with strong CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 inhibitors increased the exposure of aripiprazole compared to the use of oral aripiprazole alone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Examples: itraconazole, clarithromycin, quinidine, fluoxetine, paroxetine Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of oral aripiprazole and carbamazepine decreased the exposure of aripiprazole compared to the use of oral aripiprazole alone [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
