Exclusion Criteria

Vfend® is contraindicated in the following patients:
-Patients with known hypersensitivity to voriconazole or to any of the excipients.
-Coadministration of the CYP3A4 substrates, terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride, pimozide or quinidine with voriconazole : Increased plasma concentrations of these medicinal products can lead to QTc prolongation and rare occurrences of torsades de pointes.
-Coadministration of voriconazole with rifampicin, carbamazepine and Phenobarbital: These medicinal products are likely to decrease plasma voriconazole concentrations significantly.
-Coadministration of ergot alkaloids (ergotamine, dihydroergotamine), which are CYP3A4 substrates : Increased plasma concentrations of these medicinal products can lead to ergotism.
-Coadministration of voriconazole and sirolimus: Voriconazole is likely to increase plasma concentrations of sirolimus significantly.
-Coadministration of voriconazole with high-dose ritonavir (400 mg and above twice daily) is contraindicated because ritonavir significantly decreased plasma voriconazole concentrations in healthy subjects at this dose.
-Coadministration of voriconazole with efavirenz : Efavirenz significantly decreased voriconazole plasma concentrations while voriconazole also significantly increased efavirenz plasma concentrations.
-Coadministration of voriconazole with St John’s Wort is contraindicated.
