Drug interaction overview
- Solifenacin is a CYP3A4 substrate
- Coadministration of ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, significantly increased the exposure of solifenacin; modify solifenacin dose if coadministered with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
There are no studies on use in pregnant females
Animal data
- No adverse developmental outcomes were observed in animal reproduction studies with oral solifenacin succinate to pregnant mice during organogenesis at a 10 mg/day dose (1.2x the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD])
- Administration of doses ≥3.6x the MRHD during organogenesis produced maternal toxicity in the pregnant mice and resulted in developmental toxicity and reduced fetal body weights in offspring
Lactation
No information available
Solifenacin is present in mouse milk
When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely to be present in human milk
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
