D Rifampin significantly reduces the plasma concentrations of the calcium channel blockers verapamil, diltiazem, and nifedipine. Diltiazem is a substrate of Gi P3A4 and rifampin is an inducer of CYP3A4. Rifampin does not interact with metoprolol, aspirin, pravastatin, or nitroglycerin. However, if the patient had been on another HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor such as atorvastatin, lova-statin, or simvastatin instead of pravastatin, rifampin would have reduced the plasma concentrations of these agents since they are also metabolized via CYP3A4.
