Sildenafil doses should be decreased when any potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor is used (e g., cimetidine, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, and saquinavir). Vardenafil doses vary accordingto which agent is used (2.5 mg q 72 h for ritonavir, 2.5 mg q 24 h for indinavir, ketoconazole 400 mg daily, and itraconazole 400 mg daily and 5 mg q 24 h for ketoconazole 200 mg daily, itraconazole200 mg daily, and erythromycin). Tadalafil doses are reduced only when it is used with the most potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e g., ketoconazole or ritonavir). 

Concomitant mecf/caf/ons - The dosage of vardenafil may require adjustment in patients receiving certain CYP3A4 inhibitors. For ritonavir, do not exceed a single dose of 2.5 mg vardenafil in a 72-hour period. For indinavir, ketoconazole 400 mg/day, and itraconazole 400 mg/day, do not exceed a single dose of 2.5 mg vardenafil in a 24-hour period. For ketoconazole 200 mg/day, itraconazole 200 mg/day, and erythromycin, do not exceed a single dose of 5 mg vardenafil in a 24-hour period.

The use of potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (ritonavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, erythromycin, clarithromycin, troleandomycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole) with dihydroergotamine is contraindicated.
