Abstract P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp) is an efflux transporter involved in the bioavailability of many drugs currently on the market. P‐gp is responsible for several drug–drug interactions encountered in clinical practice leading to iatrogenic hospital admissions, especially in polypharmacy situations. ABCB1 genotyping only reflects an indirect estimate of P‐gp activity. Therefore, it would be useful to identify endogenous biomarkers to determine the P‐gp phenotype to predict in vivo activity prior to the initiation of treatment and to assess the effects of drugs on P‐gp activity. The objective of this study was to assess changes in plasma lipidome composition among healthy volunteers selected on the basis of their ABCB1 genotype and who received clarithromycin, a known inhibitor of P‐gp. Untargeted lipidomic analysis based on liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was performed before and after clarithromycin administration. Our results revealed changes in plasma levels of some ceramides (Cers) {Cer(d18:1/22:0), Cer(d18:1/22:1), and Cer(d18:1/20:0) by ~38% (p
