Pediatric Patients with Body Surface Area Less Than 1.0 m2 |
---|---|---|
First |
75 mg orally twice daily |
75 mg/m2 orally twice daily |
Second |

50 mg/m2 orally twice daily |
Third |

Dosage Modifications for Coadministration with Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors
Avoid coadministration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with VITRAKVI. If coadministration of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the VITRAKVI dose by 50%. After the inhibitor has been discontinued for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives, resume the VITRAKVI dose that was used prior to initiating the CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Drug Interactions (7.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
2.5 Dosage Modifications for Coadministration with Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers
Avoid coadministration of strong CYP3A4 inducers with VITRAKVI. If coadministration of a strong CYP3A4 inducer cannot be avoided, double the VITRAKVI dose. Additionally, for coadministration with a moderate CYP3A4 inducer, double the VITRAKVI dose. After the inducer has been discontinued for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives, resume the VITRAKVI dose that was used prior to initiating the CYP3A4 inducer [see Drug Interactions (7.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Dosage Modifications for Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Reduce the starting dose of VITRAKVI by 50% in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) to severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
