Drug-Drug Interaction Associated with Mold-Active Triazoles among Hospitalized Patients

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016 06; 60(6): 3398-3406. e-pub ahead of print 2016/03/24

The majority of hospitalized patients receiving mold-active triazoles are at risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Efforts are needed to increase awareness of DDIs that pose a serious risk of adverse events. Triazoles remain the most commonly utilized antifungals. Recent developments have included the mold-active triazoles (MATs) itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole, which are first-line agents for the treatment of filamentous fungal infections but have the potential for DDIs. This objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of triazole DDIs.
