- Substrates of CYP2C19 (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole)
- Substrates of CYP2C9 (e.g., warfarin, tolbutamide)
- Substrates of CYP2C8 (e.g., repaglinide, rosiglitazone)
- Substrates of CYP2B6 (e.g., efavirenz)
- Can result in decreased levels of interacting drug. Avoid concomitant use if possible. If giving drugs concomitantly, monitor drug levels if possible.
- Hormone therapy (e.g., norethindrone)
