“…Many drugs are co‐substrates for CYP enzymes and P‐gp, exhibiting clinically relevant drug–drug interactions owing to the co‐induction of CYP3A4 and MDR1 genes by rifampin. In our study, we found that multiple doses of rifampin induced liver enzymes and possibly efflux transporters, leading to a significant decrease in glyburide exposure following oral dosing, consistent with previous studies and clinical observations 5 , 5 , 5 , 5 . However, when rifampin was present in the blood after enzyme induction, the AUC and C max were decreased by only 22 and 8%, respectively, in comparison to 63 and 81%, respectively, during the enzyme induction phase.…”
