MONITOR: Bowel cleansing as well as overuse of certain laxatives may cause electrolyte loss and increase the risk of torsade de pointes ventricular arrhythmia in patients treated with drugs that prolong the QT interval. Electrolyte disturbances including hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia have been reported with laxative abuse and are known risk factors for torsade de pointes associated with QT interval prolongation.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with drugs that prolong the QT interval should exercise caution when self-medicating with laxatives. The recommended dosage and duration of use should not be exceeded. Patients treated with lactulose for more than six months should be monitored periodically for electrolyte imbalance. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.

Drug and food interactions

Major

adagrasib food

Applies to: adagrasib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Adagrasib can cause concentration-dependent, prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with grapefruit juice before adagrasib has reached steady-state may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of adagrasib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole. In a clinical drug interaction study, adagrasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were increased by 2.4-fold and 4-fold, respectively following concomitant use of a single dose of adagrasib (200 mg) with itraconazole. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of adagrasib at steady state were predicted when used concomitantly with itraconazole. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased exposure to adagrasib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as QT prolongation, diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, and renal impairment.

Adagrasib pharmacokinetics were not significantly affected when administered with a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice until adagrasib concentrations have reached steady state (after approximately 8 days). Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. Adagrasib may be administered 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.
