Nelvir Nelfinavir Fluticasone Propionate + Formoterol Fumarate

Major

Nelfinavir is one of several medicines, along with ritonavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, saquinavir, ketoconazole and telithromycin, that can raise the level of the inhaler's medicine in your body. For a short course of fluticasone propionate + formoterol fumarate, this is usually of little clinical importance. If you use fluticasone propionate + formoterol fumarate for a long time, be more careful. Where possible, avoid taking it together with nelfinavir.

What should I do?

These medicines can affect each other in a serious way. Do not start taking them together unless your doctor has said it is OK. If you already take both, do not stop either one on your own: speak to your doctor or pharmacist soon.

Nelvir Nelfinavir Fluticasone Propionate + Formoterol Fumarate contains Fluticasone Furoate

Moderate

Nelfinavir can raise the amount and strengthen the effects of several other medicines in your body. Corticosteroids such as fluticasone are on this list, so fluticasone furoate is affected too. The list also includes azithromycin, clarithromycin, calcium channel blockers, mirtazapine, nateglinide, nefazodone, ciclosporin, sirolimus, tacrolimus, venlafaxine, eplerinone, fentanyl, atorvastatin, rifabutin, trazodone, TCAs (tricyclic antidepressants), and phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors.

What should I do?

These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
