Voxelotor is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Avoid coadministration with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers. If unable to avoid coadministration, increase voxelotor dose (see Dosage Modifications).

• warfarin

  Monitor Closely (2)butalbital will decrease the level or effect of warfarin by Other (see comment). Use Caution/Monitor. Warfarin's less potent R-enantiomer is metabolized in part by CYP3A4 (and also CYP1A2 and CYP2C19). Monitor INR more frequently if coadministered with inducers of these isoenzymes and adjust warfarin dose if needed.
  
  acetaminophen increases effects of warfarin by anticoagulation. Use Caution/Monitor.

• xylometazoline

  Monitor Closely (1)butalbital increases and xylometazoline decreases sedation. Effect of interaction is not clear, use caution. Use Caution/Monitor.

• yohimbine

  Monitor Closely (1)butalbital increases and yohimbine decreases sedation. Effect of interaction is not clear, use caution. Use Caution/Monitor.

• zaleplon

  Minor (1)butalbital will decrease the level or effect of zaleplon by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. Minor/Significance Unknown.

• zanubrutinib

  Serious - Use Alternative (2)butalbital will decrease the level or effect of zanubrutinib by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. Avoid or Use Alternate Drug.
  
  butalbital will decrease the level or effect of zanubrutinib by affecting hepatic enzyme CYP2E1 metabolism. Avoid or Use Alternate Drug. Avoid coadministration of zanubrutinib (a CYP3A4 substrate) with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. If unavoidable, increase zanubrutinib dose to 320 mg PO BID. After discontinuing the CYP3A4 inhibitor, resume previous dose of zanubrutinib.

• ziconotide

  Monitor Closely (1)butalbital and ziconotide both increase sedation. Use Caution/Monitor.

• ziprasidone

  Monitor Closely (1)butalbital and ziprasidone both increase sedation. Use Caution/Monitor.Minor (1)butalbital will decrease the level or effect of ziprasidone by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. Minor/Significance Unknown.

• zolpidem

  Minor (1)butalbital will decrease the level or effect of zolpidem by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. Minor/Significance Unknown.

• zonisamide

  Minor (2)butalbital will decrease the level or effect of zonisamide by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. Minor/Significance Unknown.
  
  zonisamide decreases levels of acetaminophen by increasing metabolism. Minor/Significance Unknown. Enhanced metabolism increase levels of hepatotoxic metabolites.

• zotepine

  Monitor Closely (1)butalbital and zotepine both increase sedation. Use Caution/Monitor.
