Precautions
Contraindications: Itraconazole is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed. Co-administration of the following substances is contraindicated with Itraconazole:
- substrates metabolized via cytochrome P450 3A4, that can prolong the QT interval, such as astemizole, bepridil, cisapride, dofetilide, levacetylmethadole (levomethadyl), mizolastine, pimozide, quinidine, sertindole and terfenadine. Co-administration may result in increased plasma concentrations of these substrates, which can lead to QT prolongation and rare occurrences of torsade de pointes.
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors metabolized via cytochrome P450 3A4 such as atorvastatin, lovastatin and simvastatin
- triazolam and oral midazolam.
