* The classification of effects on drug metabolism are based upon US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.[1,2] Other sources may use a different classification system resulting in some agents being classified differently. Weak inhibitor effects are not listed. Clinically significant interactions can occasionally occur due to weak inhibitors, particularly if the target drug has a narrow therapeutic margin. Refer to the Lexicomp drug interactions program for a full review of potential interactions.
¶ Oral bioavailability is increased by two- to threefold in mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
