Does Ivosidenib Interact with Atazanavir Sulfate?
CDI records a contraindicated classification for Ivosidenib and Atazanavir Sulfate. The stored summary is: Antineoplastics: irinotecan apalutamide ivosidenib encorafenib ↑ irinotecan ↓ atazanavir ↓ atazanavir ↑ ivosidenib ↓ atazanavir ↑ encorafenib Coadministration of atazanavir with irinotecan is contraindicated. Coadministration of ivosidenib with atazanavir (with or without ritonavir) is contraindicated due to the potential for loss of virologic response and risk of serious adverse events such as QT interval prolongation. Patients taking both medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing the dosage of either drug.

What To Tell Your Doctor or Pharmacist
If you are taking Ivosidenib and your doctor is considering prescribing Atazanavir Sulfate (or vice versa), make sure to:
- Inform your doctor and pharmacist of all current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements
- Ask whether the benefits of combining these medications outweigh the risks for your specific situation
- Ask what symptoms to watch for that would indicate the interaction is causing problems
- Ask about alternative medications that do not interact with your current regimen
- Ask how frequently you should be monitored while these are co-prescribed
- Never stop or change either medication without first consulting your healthcare provider
