Candida infections both mucocutaneous and invasive - i.e. Candidemia

Antifungal prophylaxis in immunocompromised

Therapeutic drug monitoring may be helpful to ensure adequate concentrations and exclude toxicity

QTc interval in patients at elevated risk

Monitor hepatic profile

Creatinine, electrolytes (K+, Mag+, Ca+)

• QTc prolongation
• Hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity
• Rash; dermatologic reactions
• Visual disturbance, photophobia, headache, dizziness,
• Fluorosis
• Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia

• Multiple significant drug interactions, consult pharmacy.
• CYP450 interactions ++
• Other QTc prolonging agents
• Contraindicated with pimozide, quiniDINE, rifampin, carbamazepine, sirolimus, rifabutin, ritonavir, efavirenz, ergot alkaloids, and phenobarbital
• Voriconazole may inhibit the metabolism of tacrolimus (need to decrease tacrolimus dose to 1/3 of original dose), cycloSPORINE (need to decrease cycloSPORINE dose by 50%), sulphonylureas, statins, and HIV protease inhibitors other than indinavir
• Voriconazole increases concentration of phenytoin. Phenytoin decreases concentration of voriconazole. Drug monitoring recommended.
• Recommend review of patient medications due to high frequency of significant interactions

Food may decrease oral absorption. Should be taken 1hr before or 1 hr after a meal

Avoid/limit use of IV formulation in renal failure due to accumulation of vehicle (cyclodextrin)

Infectious Disease consult strongly recommended.
