Posaconazole therapy is associated with transient, asymptomatic serum aminotransferase elevations and is a suspected but rare cause of clinically apparent acute drug induced liver injury.</p></div><div id="Posaconazole.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Posaconazole (poe" sa kon' a zole) is a synthetic triazole that is believed to act through inhibition of the fungal 14α-ergosterol demethylase, which is responsible for converting lanosterol to ergosterol and which blocks cell membrane synthesis. Posaconazole is active against a broad spectrum of fungal agents including Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. Posaconazole was approved for use in the United States in 2006. Current indications are oropharyngeal candidiasis and prophylaxis against invasive fungal infections in neutropenic or immunosuppressed patients. Posaconazole is available as a 100 mg delayed-release tablet and as an oral suspension of 40 mg/mL under the brand name Noxafil. A loading dose is recommended followed by maintenance doses of 100 to 300 mg daily; however, the dosage varies depending upon indications and the formulation used. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness and rash.</p></div><div id="Posaconazole.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Transient elevations in serum aminotransferase levels occur in 2% to 12% of patients on posaconazole. These elevations are usually mild, asymptomatic and self-limited and rarely require discontinuation of the medication. Clinically apparent hepatotoxicity is very rare. Instances of jaundice and hepatitis during posaconazole therapy are mentioned in the product label, but little information was provided on clinical details.</p><p>Likelihood score: E* (unproved but suspected cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Posaconazole.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The cause of the liver injury from posaconazole is unknown; however, it may have some correlation to the ability of voriconazole to alter human sterol synthesis. Because posaconazole inhibits CYP 3A4 activity, it can cause significant drug-drug interactions and including elevations in plasma levels of other medications that are metabolized by this P450 enzyme, sometimes resulting in toxicity.</p></div><div id="Posaconazole.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The severity of the liver injury from posaconazole ranges from mild and transient enzyme elevations to hepatitis with jaundice. Fatal instances have not been described, but the drug has not been extensively used or studied. A single case report describes a patient with hepatotoxicity from voriconazole who was able to tolerate posaconazole without difficulty. Nevertheless, caution should be used in starting other azole antifungal agents in patients with clinically apparent liver injury due to ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole or voriconazole.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntifungalAgents/">Antifungal Agents</a></p></div></div><div id="Posaconazole.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Posaconazole_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Posaconazole.BPI" class="box"><p>
