Significant: Hepatotoxicity (e.g. hyperbilirubinaemia, hepatitis); neuropsychiatric events (e.g. insomnia, depression); infections predominantly affecting the respiratory tract (mostly to >55 years of age). Rarely, systemic eosinophilia (sometimes manifesting with clinical features of vasculitis consistent with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis [formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome]). Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Agranulocytosis. Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dyspepsia. General disorders and administration site conditions: Fever, oedema, malaise. Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. urticaria, angioedema, pruritus, rashes with or without blistering). Investigations: Increased serum ALT. Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Myalgia, arthralgia, back pain. Nervous system disorders: Headache, dizziness. Vascular disorders: Bleeding, bruising. Potentially Fatal: Hepatic failure leading to liver transplantation.
Monitor LFTs periodically. Closely monitor for signs and symptoms of hepatic injury and neuropsychiatric symptoms or behavioural changes.
Quá liều
Symptoms: Rash and stomach upset. Management: Supportive treatment. Empty the stomach by inducing emesis or performing gastric lavage. May administer activated charcoal to prevent further absorption of unrecovered drug.
Tương tác
May enhance the anticoagulant activity of warfarin resulting in prolonged prothrombin time. May reduce serum concentration with theophylline, terfenadine, and erythromycin. Increased serum concentration with fluconazole and high doses of aspirin.
Tương tác với thức ăn
Decreased rate and extent of absorption with food.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Zafirlukast, an antiasthmatic agent, is a competitive and selective leukotriene-receptor antagonist (LTRA) of leukotriene D4 and E4 (LTD4 and LTE4), components of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRSA). The production, stimulation, and receptor occupation of cysteinyl leukotriene have been correlated with the pathophysiology of asthma including smooth muscle constriction, airway oedema, and altered cellular activity related with the inflammatory process which contribute to the signs and symptoms of asthma. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food reduces the rate and extent of absorption. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 3 hours. Distribution: Enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: Approx 99%, mainly to albumin. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver mainly by CYP2C9 isoenzyme into hydroxylated metabolites. Excretion: Mainly via faeces (approx 90%, as unchanged drug and metabolites); urine (approx 10%, as metabolites). Elimination half-life: Approx 10 hours (range 8-16 hours).
