What does Naratriptan interact with?

Naratriptan may interact with several medication classes.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Beta‑blockers: may elevate plasma levels of naratriptan, requiring dose adjustment. - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin): can increase naratriptan exposure. - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): may reduce therapeutic effectiveness.
