Q

When giving longer courses of PO fluconazole, in whom should caution be taken?

A

Moderate CYP450 inhibitor
Caution in:
- co-administration with other medications metabolized by the liver
- hepatic impairment
- co-administration with medications that can cause prolonged QT - TCAs, antipsychotics, SSRIs, SSNRIs, erythromycin)
- renal impairment (eGFR < 50) - use inital loading dose then half subsequent doses
