Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Reduce JASCAYD dosage to 9 mg twice daily. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use with JASCAYD. ( 7.1 ) Moderate CYP3A Inducers : Recommended dosage is 18 mg twice daily. Do not reduce dosage to 9 mg twice daily. ( 2.1 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on JASCAYD Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Reduce the dosage of JASCAYD to 9 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Nerandomilast is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of JASCAYD with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases exposure of nerandomilast, which may increase the risk of JASCAYD adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers with JASCAYD. Recommended dosage of JASCAYD is 18 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A inducers. Do not reduce the dosage to 9 mg twice daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]. Nerandomilast is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of JASCAYD with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decreases exposure of nerandomilast, which may decrease the efficacy of JASCAYD [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Pirfenidone Recommended dosage of JASCAYD is 18 mg twice daily when used concomitantly with pirfenidone. Do not reduce the dosage to 9 mg twice daily [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . Concomitant use of JASCAYD with pirfenidone decreases exposure of nerandomilast [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . When JASCAYD was used concomitantly with pirfenidone in patients with IPF in FIBRONEER-IPF, efficacy was not observed with the JASCAYD 9 mg twice daily dosage [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
