Moderate or Strong Dual CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Inducers or Inhibitors: Dose adjustments are recommended for patients with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on DOPTELET in Patients with Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia Moderate or Strong Dual Inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Concomitant use with a moderate or strong dual inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 increases avatrombopag AUC [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of DOPTELET toxicities. Reduce the starting dosage of DOPTELET when used concomitantly with a moderate or strong dual inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 (see Table 4 and Table 7) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 and 2.6 )] . In patients starting moderate or strong dual inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 while receiving DOPTELET, monitor platelet counts and adjust DOPTELET dose as necessary (see Table 2 and Table 3; and Table 5 and Table 6) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 and 2.5 )] . Moderate or Strong Dual Inducers of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Concomitant use with a moderate or strong dual inducer of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 decreases avatrombopag AUC [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce DOPTELET efficacy. Increase the recommended starting dosage of DOPTELET when used concomitantly with a moderate or strong dual inducer of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 (see Table 4 and Table 7) [ see…
