Change to section 4.3 - Contraindications |
Addition of Atorvastatin and Eletriptan
Women of childbearing potential taking Sporanox should use contraceptive precautions. Effective contraception should be continued until the menstrual period following the end of Sporanox therapy. |
|
Change to section 4.4 - Special warnings and precautions for use |
Use in elderly Clinical data on the use of Sporanox capsules in elderly patients is limited. Sporanox capsules should not be used in these patients unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risks. Cross-resistance In systemic candidosis, if fluconazole-resistant strains of Candida species are suspected, it cannot be assumed that these are sensitive to itraconazole, hence their sensitivity should be tested before the start of itraconazole therapy.
Interaction potential Sporanox has a potential for clinically important drug interactions. (See section 4.5). Itraconazole should not be used within 2 weeks after discontinuation of treatment with CYP 3A4 inducing agents (rifampicin, rifabutin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, Hypericum perforatum (St. John´s wort). The use of itraconazole with these drugs may lead to subtherapeutic plasma levels of itraconazole and thus treatment failure.
