Moderate pharmacokinetic interactions appear to occur between several of the azoles and macrolides but many of these are unlikely to be of clinical significance. However, clarithromycin may almost double itraconazole levels, and ketoconazole may almost double telithromycin levels.

The AUC of erlotinib has been found to be increased by 66% when given with ketoconazole 200 mg twice daily for 5 days. The manufacturers advise caution with concurrent use, and recommend that the dose of erlotinib should be reduced if severe adverse reactions occur when given with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. They specifically name atazanavir, clarithromycin, erythromycin, grapefruit and grapefruit juice, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, neltinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, troleandomycin and voriconazole. ... 

These pharmacokinetic interactions are established. Although the clinical relevance has not been assessed, it is known that the risk of hyperkalaemia with eplerenone is related to its dose. Because the increase in the AUC of eplerenone with ketoconazole is so great, the manufacturers contraindicate this combination. They also contraindicate the concurrent use of other potent inhibitors of CYKA4, and they list clarithromycin, itraconazole, nefazodone, nelfmavir, ritonavir, telithromycin and trolean-domycin. ... 

Although the effect of these increases has not been assessed, such marked increases in levels could increase adverse effects. The manufacturers recommend caution when aprepitant is given with ketoconazole and other drugs that are strong inhibitors of CYP3A4. They specifically name ritonavir, clarithromycin, telithromycin, itraconazole, ne-fazodone, troleandomycin, and nelfinavir. For the effect of diltiazem (a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor), see Calcium-channel blockers + Aprepi-tanf, p. 861. Other inhibitors of CYP3A4 are listed in Table 1.4 , (p.6).
