4.5        Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Since telbivudine is eliminated primarily by renal excretion, co-administration of Sebivo with substances that affect renal function (such as aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, platinum compounds, vancomycin, amphotericin B) may affect plasma concentrations of telbivudine and/or the co-administered substance. The combination of telbivudine with these medicinal products should be used with caution.
The steady-state pharmacokinetics of telbivudine were unaltered following multiple dose administration in combination with lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate , ciclosporin or pegylated interferon-alfa 2a. In addition, telbivudine does not alter the pharmacokinetics of lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or ciclosporin. No definitive conclusion could be drawn regarding the effects of telbivudine on the pharmacokinetics of pegylated interferon due to high interindividual variability of pegylated interferon-alfa 2a concentrations.
A clinical trial investigating the combination of telbivudine, 600 mg daily, with pegylated interferon alfa-2a, 180 micrograms once weekly by subcutaneous administration, indicates that this combination is associated with an increased risk of developing peripheral neuropathy. The mechanism behind these events is not known (see section 4.4). The combination of telbivudine with any interferon alfa-containing product is contraindicated (see section 4.3).
