Adverse events attributable to buspirone. Administering ribociclib with buspirone may increase buspirone concentration and risk for adverse events. Buspirone is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A4. Ribociclib is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the buspirone AUC by 19-fold with an increased incidence of buspirone-related adverse effects. [28501] [61816] Ribociclib; Letrozole: (Moderate) A low dose of buspirone used cautiously is recommended when coadministered with ribociclib. If a patient has been titrated to a stable dosage of buspirone, a dose adjustment of buspirone may be necessary to avoid adverse events attributable to buspirone. Administering ribociclib with buspirone may increase buspirone concentration and risk for adverse events. Buspirone is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A4. Ribociclib is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the buspirone AUC by 19-fold with an increased incidence of buspirone-related adverse effects. [28501] [61816] rifAMPin: (Major) Substances that are potent inducers of hepatic cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4, such as rifampin, may increase the rate of buspirone metabolism. In a study of healthy volunteers, co-administration of buspirone with rifampin decreased the plasma concentrations (83.7% decrease in Cmax; 89.6% decrease in AUC) and pharmacodynamic effects of buspirone. An in vitro study indicated that buspirone did not displace highly protein-bound drugs such as phenytoin. If a patient has been titrated to a stable dosage on buspirone, a dose adjustment of buspirone may be necessary to maintain anxiolytic effect. [28001] Rifapentine: (Moderate) Monitor for decreased efficacy of buspirone if rifapentine is added to a patient on a stable dosage of buspirone; a dose increase of buspirone may be needed to maintain anxiolytic activity. Buspirone is a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate and rifapentine is a strong CYP3A4 inducer. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased buspirone exposure by 89.6%. [28501] [65685] risperiDONE: (Moderate) Monitor for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, particularly during treatment initiation and dosage increase, during concomitant atypical antipsychotic and buspirone use. If serotonin syndrome occurs, discontinue therapy. Concomitant use increases the risk for serotonin syndrome. [28501] [63529] Ritlecitinib: (Moderate) Monitor for an increase in buspirone-related adverse reactions if coadministration with ritlecitinib is necessary; the effect may be more pronounced if the patient has been titrated to a stable dose of buspirone and ritlecitinib is added or removed from therapy. Buspirone is a sensitive CYP3A substrate and ritlecitinib is a moderate CYP3A inhibitor. Coadministration with other moderate CYP3A inhibitors increased buspirone exposure by 3.4 to 6-fold and was accompanied by increased buspirone-related adverse reactions. [28501] [69127] Ritonavir: (Major) When buspirone is administered with a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 like ritonavir, a low dose of buspirone used cautiously is recommended. Some patients receiving drugs that are potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 with buspirone have reported lightheadedness, asthenia, dizziness, and drowsiness. If the two drugs are to be used in combination, a low dose of buspirone (e.g., 2.5 mg PO twice daily) is recommended. Subsequent dose adjustment of either drug should be based on clinical assessment. Several other anti-retroviral protease inhibitors also inhibit CYP3A4, and these
