Cisapride with itraconazole

Drug interactions Coadministration of cisapride, pimozide, dofetilide, orquinidine with itraconazole is contraindicated. Itraconazole is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme system and may raise plasma concentrations of... 

Cardiac dysrhythmias Life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias or sudden death have occurred in patients using cisapride, pimozide, or quinidine concomitantly with itraconazole or other CYP3A4 inhibitors. Concomitant administration of these drugs with itraconazole is contraindicated. 

Itraconazole contraindicated in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction (CHF) or a history of CHF Itraconazole is also a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme, which may increase plasma concentrations of drugs metabolized by this pathway. Serious cardiovascular events have occurred in patients taking cisapride, pimozide, levomethadyl, or quinidine concomitantly with itraconazole. 

GFJ has been shown to increase the exposure of carbamazepine (175), cisapride (176-179), fluvoxamine (184), losartan (188), methadone (189), scopolamine (191), and sertraline (192). However, only the interaction of GFJ with carbamazepine and cisapride seems to be clinically relevant. No alteration in exposure was observed for clozapine (180,181), heophylline (195), halo-peridol (196), and omeprazole (190). Reports of increased pharmacokinetic parameters of clozapine, theophylline, and haloperidol suggest that an interaction is unlikely to be clinically relevant. Contradicting results were reported for itraconazole (185-187), digoxin (75,183), and sildenafil (193,194). An increased effect on concomitant use of diclofenac and GFJ was observed in rats (182). Overall, the clinical relevance for this drug class appears to be low.
