Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

cilostazol ritlecitinib

Applies to: cilostazol and ritlecitinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with ritlecitinib may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of drugs that are primarily metabolized by the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The mechanism is reduced clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4 by ritlecitinib. When ritlecitinib (200 mg once daily for 11 days) was administered in combination with the sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate midazolam, the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of midazolam increased by 1.81- and 2.69-fold, compared to administration of midazolam alone. The interaction may be significant for sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrates or those that demonstrate a narrow therapeutic index.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised with the concomitant use of ritlecitinib with CYP450 3A4 substrates, particularly sensitive substrates or those that demonstrate a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., cisapride, ergot alkaloids, colchicine, fentanyl, macrolide immunosuppressants, midazolam, pimozide, triazolam, vinca alkaloids). If concomitant use is required, clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever ritlecitinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cilostazol food

Applies to: cilostazol

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of cilostazol. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. The extent and clinical significance are unknown. Moreover, pharmacokinetic alterations associated with interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, the manufacturer recommends avoiding consumption of grapefruit juice during cilostazol therapy. Orange juice is not expected to interact with cilostazol.

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.
