<br />
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole may increas e sunitinib plasma concentrations. Selection of an alternate concomitant medication with no or minimal enzyme inhibition potential is recommended. A dose reduction for Sunitinib to a minimum of 37.5 mg (GIST and RCC) or 25 mg (pNET) daily should be considered if Sunitinib must be co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor<br />
<br />
CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin may decreas e sunitinib plasma concentrations. Selection of an alternate concomitant medication with no or minimal enzyme induction potential is recommended. A dose increase for Sunitinib to a maximum of 87.5 mg (GIST and RCC) or 62.5 mg (pNET) daily should be considered if Sunitinib must be co-administered with a CYP3A4 inducer. If dose is increased, the patient should be monitored carefully for toxicity</p>
