Eprosartan and Ketoconazole Interaction

Drug interaction information between Eprosartan and Ketoconazole.

Eprosartan and Ketoconazole have a documented minor interaction in FDA labeling.

FDA drug labeling documents a minor-severity interaction between Eprosartan and Ketoconazole. This page displays the available source-record category and label text. The category is not an individual risk estimate or medication-combination direction.

Drug A

Eprosartan

Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)

Drug B

Ketoconazole

Azole Antifungal

How They Interact

Ketoconazole blocks certain liver proteins, but eprosartan is not processed by those proteins, so its levels do not change.

FDA Label Information

Eprosartan is not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system; eprosartan steady-state concentrations were not affected by concomitant administration of ketoconazole or fluconazole, potent inhibitors of CYP3A and 2C9, respectively. Because eprosartan is not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, inhibitors of CYP450 enzyme would not be expected to affect its metabolism, and ketoconazole and fluconazole, potent inhibitors of CYP3A and 2C9, respectively, have been shown to have no effect on eprosartan pharmacokinetics.
