Phenobarbital with itraconazole

Two patients tatong phenytoin and two taking phenytoin with car-bamazepine either did not respond to treatment with itraconazole 400 mg daily for aspergillosis, coccidioidomycosis or cryptococcosis, or suffered a relapse. All of them had undetectable or substantially reduced serum itraconazole levels compared with other patients taking itraconazole alone. Two other patients also had very low itraconazole serum levels while taking phenytoin and phenobarbital."... 

Although specific drug or food interactions with mifepristone have not been studied, on the basis of this drug s metabolism by CYP3A4, it is possible that ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, and grapefruit juice may inhibit its metabolism (increasing serum levels of mifepristone). Furthermore, rifampin, dexamethasone, St. John s wort, and certain anticonvulsants (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine) may induce mifepristone metabolism (lowering serum levels of mifepristone)... 

Since indinavir is a substrate as well as an inhibitor of CYP3 A4, numerous and complex drug interactions can occur as described above. Indinavir levels decrease with concurrent use of rifabutin, fluconazole, St. John s wort, and rifampin. Caution is advised with other 3 A4 inducers also, including phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamezepine, and dexamethasone. Dose reduction of indinavir should be considered if coadministered with delavirdine, ketoconazole, or itraconazole, while an increase in the dose of indinavir is indicated if the drug is coadministered with efavirenz or rifabutin.
