Esomeprazole Strontium + Ketoconazole Interaction

Moderateinteraction on record

Description

Like with other drugs that decrease the intragastric acidity, the absorption of drugs such as ketoconazole, atazanavir, iron salts, erlotinib, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) can decrease, while the absorption of drugs such as digoxin can increase during treatment with omeprazole. Antiretroviral Drugs: Use with atazanavir and nelfinavir is not recommended; if saquinavir is used with esomeprazole strontium, monitor for toxicity and consider saquinavir dose reduction (7.1) May interfere with drugs for which gastric pH affects bioavailability (e.g., ketoconazole, iron salts, erlotinib, digoxin, and mycophenolate mofetil).
