    Notes for Consumers: Do not take Grapefruit juice or grapefruit-containing foods and Voclosporin together. Taking these together may increase the risk of serious side effects.
    Notes for Professionals: Advise patients that the use of voclosporin and grapefruit juice is contraindicated; concomitant use may increase the exposure of voclosporin and the risk of voclosporin-related adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity, hypertension, and QT prolongation.

Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased voclosporin exposure by approximately 19-fold.
