- Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate)
Interactions between your drugs
ethinyl estradiol brigatinib
Applies to: Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate) and brigatinib
ADDITIONAL CONTRACEPTION RECOMMENDED: Coadministration with brigatinib may decrease the plasma concentrations of contraceptive hormones. Brigatinib has been shown in vitro to induce CYP450 3A4 at clinically relevant plasma concentrations. Since contraceptive hormones are known substrates of the isoenzyme, decreased concentrations and therapeutic failure may potentially occur.
MANAGEMENT: Hormonal contraceptives, including oral, injectable, transdermal, and implantable forms, may not be reliable during concomitant therapy with brigatinib. Because use of brigatinib may cause fetal harm, it is particularly important that patients not become pregnant during treatment. Alternative or additional methods of birth control (i.e., non-hormonal) are recommended during and for at least 4 months after the final dose of brigatinib. Input from a gynecologist or similar expert on adequate contraception, including emergency contraception, should be sought as needed. Intrauterine systems are unlikely to be significantly affected because of their local action.

Drug and food interactions
norgestimate food
Applies to: Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate)
MONITOR: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.
MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact with these drugs.

brigatinib food
Applies to: brigatinib
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of brigatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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. Itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, has been shown to double brigatinib systemic exposure (AUC) in healthy volunteers. Increased exposure to brigatinib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypertension, bradycardia, hyperglycemia, visual disturbances, lymphopenia, anemia, and elevations in pancreatic enzymes and creatine phosphokinase.
Food does not significantly affect the oral bioavailability of brigatinib. When brigatinib was administered to healthy volunteers after a high-fat meal (920 calories; 59 g fat, 58 g carbohydrates, 40 g proteins), brigatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) decreased by 13% and systemic exposure (AUC) did not change compared to administration after overnight fasting.
MANAGEMENT: Brigatinib may be taken with or without food. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with brigatinib.

Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the bioavailability of oral estrogens. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruits. In a small, randomized, crossover study, the administration of ethinyl estradiol with grapefruit juice (compared to herbal tea) increased peak plasma drug concentration (Cmax) by 37% and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 28%. Based on these findings, grapefruit juice is unlikely to affect the overall safety profile of ethinyl estradiol. However, as with other drug interactions involving grapefruit juice, the pharmacokinetic alterations are subject to a high degree of interpatient variability. Also, the effect on other estrogens has not been studied.

The central nervous system effects and blood levels of ethanol may be increased in patients taking oral contraceptives, although data are lacking and reports are contradictory. The mechanism may be due to enzyme inhibition. Consider counseling women about this interaction which is unpredictable.
