... Show moreRenal Dose
Moderate-to-severe renal impairment (IV)
eGFR <50 mL/min: Avoid IV administration unless benefit/risk assessment justifies use
Accumulation of the IV vehicle, SBECD, is expected to occur
Serum creatinine levels should be closely monitored; if increases occur, consideration should be given to changing to oral posaconazole therapy
Severe renal impairment (tablets or oral suspension)
Variability of systemic exposure with tablets or oral suspension observed
Monitored closely for breakthrough fungal infections
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity. Co-admin w/ sirolimus, ergot alkaloids (e.g. ergotamine, dihydroergotamine), CYP3A4 substrates (terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride, pimozide, halofantrine, or quinidine), and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g. simvastatin, lovastatin, atorvastatin).
Mode of Action
Blocks the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane, through the inhibition of the enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase and accumulation of methylated sterol precursors. Posaconazole has activity against Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., Coccidioides immitis, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, and some species of Fusarium and zygomycetes.
Precaution
Patient w/ potentially proarrhythmic conditions. Hepatic impairment. Pregnancy and lactation. Patient Counselling May impair ability to drive or operate machinery.
Monitoring Parameters Monitor hepatic and renal function, electrolyte disturbances (e.g. Ca, Mg, K), CBC, breakthrough fungal infections and adequate oral intake.

Decreased plasma concentrations w/ efavirenz, fosamprenavir, cimetidine, esomeprazole, metoclopramide, phenytoin and rifabutin. May increase plasma concentration of ritonavir and atazanavir.
