MONITOR: Coadministration with drugs that are inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 may increase the plasma concentrations of tolterodine, which is primarily metabolized by this isoenzyme in most patients (referred to as "extensive metabolizers") to an active metabolite that is equipotent to tolterodine. A subset of the population (about 7%) is devoid of CYP450 2D6 (referred to as "poor metabolizers" or PMs) and uses CYP450 3A4 to metabolize tolterodine to an inactive metabolite instead. In a study to assess this interaction, fluoxetine (a potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitor) was administered concurrently with immediate release tolterodine. It was observed that fluoxetine significantly inhibited the metabolism of tolterodine immediate release in extensive metabolizers, resulting in a 4.8-fold increase in tolterodine systemic exposure (AUC). There was a 52% decrease in the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and a 20% decrease in the AUC of tolterodine's active metabolite. During this interaction the sums of unbound serum concentrations of tolterodine and its active metabolite are about 25% higher, meaning little alteration in the overall pharmacological activity of tolterodine is expected. However, increased plasma concentrations may increase the risk of adverse effects associated with tolterodine, including QT prolongation and anticholinergic effects.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant therapy with drugs that inhibit CYP450 2D6 activity, the possibility of prolonged and/or increased pharmacologic effects of tolterodine should be considered. Increased monitoring may be particularly important when the CYP450 2D6 inhibitor has a similar adverse effect profile to that of tolterodine or when its inhibitory effects are long lasting (e.g., rolapitant can increase the plasma concentrations and risk of adverse effects of CYP450 2D6 substrates for at least 28 days). Patients should be counseled to report any increases in side effects or changes in condition.

Drug and food interactions

Major

capivasertib food

Applies to: capivasertib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of capivasertib, 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 studied with other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Based on clinical studies and model-informed approaches, concomitant use with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor itraconazole is predicted to increase capivasertib systemic exposure (AUC) by up to 1.7-fold and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by up to 1.4-fold. Coadministration with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors erythromycin and verapamil is predicted to increase the AUC and Cmax of capivasertib by up to 1.5-fold 1.3-fold, respectively. 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 capivasertib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as diarrhea, cutaneous adverse reactions, decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, hyperglycemia, nausea, and fatigue.

MANAGEMENT: It may be advisable for patients to avoid the consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or supplements that contain grapefruit during treatment with capivasertib.

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.
