		Gene Name		ABCB1
		Uniprot ID		MDR1_HUMAN
		KEGG Pathway		hsa:5243
		Protein Family		ABC transporter superfamily
		Protein Function		Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:8898203, PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D-glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Click to Show/Hide
Mechanism Description		Decreased clearance of Naldemedine due to the transporter inhibition by Velpatasvir

Recommended Action
Management		Caution is advised during concomitant use of naldemedine with moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or moderate or potent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Patients should be closely monitored for potential opioid withdrawal symptoms as well as other adverse effects of naldemedine.
