Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

rifapentine abrocitinib

Applies to: rifapentine and abrocitinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 2C19 and/or 2C9 may decrease the plasma concentrations of abrocitinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 2C19 (approximately 53%) and 2C9 (30%) and to a lesser extent by CYP450 3A4 (11%) and 2B6 (6%) based on in vitro data. When a 200 mg dose of abrocitinib was administered following multiple dosing with rifampicin, a potent CYP450 2C19 and 3A4 inducer and a moderate CYP450 2C9 and 2B6 inducer, the sum systemic exposure (AUC) of unbound abrocitinib plus its two active mono-hydroxylated metabolites, M1 (3-hydroxypropyl) and M2 (2-hydroxypropyl), decreased by approximately 56%. No data are available for other, less potent CYP450 2C19 or 2C9 inducers.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of abrocitinib should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 2C19 or 2C9 inducers. Alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

rifapentine food

Applies to: rifapentine

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the oral bioavailability of rifapentine and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events. Administration with a high fat meal typically increases rifapentine's maximum concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 40% to 50% over that observed when rifapentine is administered under fasting conditions. Rifapentine is often prescribed in combination with isoniazid. When single doses of rifapentine (900 mg) and isoniazid (900 mg) were administered with a low fat, high carbohydrate breakfast, the Cmax and AUC of rifapentine increased by 47% and 51%, respectively. On the other hand, isoniazid's Cmax and AUC decreased by 46% and 23%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Products containing oral rifapentine as the sole ingredient recommend administration with a meal to increase bioavailability and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and/or vomiting. Consultation of product labeling for combination products and/or relevant guidelines may be helpful if rifapentine is combined with a medication that is typically taken on an empty stomach.

abrocitinib food

Applies to: abrocitinib

MONITOR: Smoking during treatment with abrocitinib may increase the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the risk of developing malignancies. During abrocitinib clinical studies, current or past smokers had an additional increased risk of overall malignancies. Also, abrocitinib may increase patients' risk of MACE, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death.

Administration of abrocitinib with high-fat, high-calorie food increased abrocitinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 29% and 26%, respectively, and prolonged the time to reach Cmax by 2 hours. These changes are not considered clinically relevant.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if abrocitinib is prescribed to current or past smokers. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and the steps to take if they occur. The manufacturer recommends discontinuing abrocitinib in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke. Abrocitinib may be taken with or without food.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
