<p><u>Dose Modification for Use with Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors</u><br>
Avoid concomitant use of the strong CYP3A inhibitor ketoconazole.</p>
<p>With concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors other than ketoconazole, in patients with recommended starting doses of 150mg twice daily, reduce the Yulareb dose to 100mg twice daily. In patients who have had a dose reduction to 100mg twice daily due to adverse reactions, further reduce the Yulareb dose to 50mg twice daily. If a patient taking Yulareb discontinues a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increase the Yulareb dose (after 3–5 half-lives of the inhibitor) to the dose that was used before starting the strong inhibitor <em>[see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)</em> – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em><em>]</em>.</p>

For patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh-C), reduce the Yulareb dosing frequency to once daily <em>[see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)</em> – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em><em>]</em>.</p>
