Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

primidone avatrombopag

Applies to: primidone and avatrombopag

MONITOR: Concomitant use of avatrombopag with strong CYP450 3A4/5 or CYP450 2C9 inducers may decrease the systemic exposure (AUC) of avatrombopag which may lead to reduced efficacy.

MANAGEMENT: No dose adjustment is recommended; however, it may be advisable to monitor platelet count for signs of decreased efficacy of avatrombopag.

Drug and food interactions

Major

primidone food

Applies to: primidone

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent acute use of barbiturates and ethanol may result in additive CNS effects, including impaired coordination, sedation, and death. Tolerance of these agents may occur with chronic use. The mechanism is related to inhibition of microsomal enzymes acutely and induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes chronically.

MANAGEMENT: The combination of ethanol and barbiturates should be avoided.

Moderate

avatrombopag food

Applies to: avatrombopag

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the variability in oral absorption and bioavailability of avatrombopag. According to the product labeling, avatrombopag peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were not affected when administered with either a low-fat (500 calories; 3 g fat, 15 g proteins, 108 g carbohydrates) or high-fat (918 calories; 59 g fat, 39 g proteins, 59 g carbohydrates) meal. However, the variability of avatrombopag exposure was reduced by 40% to 60% with food, and the time to reach Cmax was delayed by 0 to 2 hours relative to the fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure consistent absorption and plasma drug levels, avatrombopag should be taken with 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.
