What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Mifepristone and nefazodone

Mifepristone's FDA label of September 25, 2025 names nefazodone in its drug interactions section; the nefazodone label PlainMeds reads does not name mifepristone. The mifepristone label: “Ketoconazole and other strong inhibitors of CYP3A, such as itraconazole, nefazodone, ritonavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, atazanavir, amprenavir and fosamprenavir, clarithromycin, conivaptan, lopinavir /ritonavir …”
