Rimonabant Interactions

Rimonabant is metabolized by both CYP3A and amidohydrolase (predominantly hepatic) pathways in vitro. Co-administration of CYP3A4 inhibitors will lead to increased exposure of rimonabant. Co-administration of CYP3A4 inducers is expected to reduce the exposure of rimonabant. Potential for other medicinal products to affect rimonabant: Concomitant administration of ketoconazole (apotent CYP3A4 inhibitor) increased rimonabant AUC by 104% (95% prediction interval: 40% - 197%). A similar increase in exposure is expected with other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors. Caution is advised during concomitant use of ACOMPLIA and potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, telithromycin, clarithromycin, nefazodone). Although concomitant administration of CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, St John's wort) has not been studied, it is expected that concomitant administration of potent CYP3A4 inducers may reduce the plasma concentration of rimonabant and may result in loss of efficacy. Co-administration of orlistat, ethanol or lorazepam had no significant effect on the plasma levels of rimonabant. Potential for rimonabant to affect other medicinal products: The in vivo inhibitory effect on CYP2C8 has not been studied.
