Potentiated by strong CYP3A inhibitors (eg, itraconazole); consider alternatives; if concomitant use necessary, monitor frequently. Antagonized by combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers (eg, rifampin); avoid. May reduce efficacy of drugs that target 5HT2B or sigma nonspecific receptors (eg, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline); avoid concomitant use unless necessary. May potentiate other P-gp, BCRP, and OCT1 substrates; reduce dose of these substrates.
