Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

deferasirox omaveloxolone

Applies to: deferasirox and omaveloxolone

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of omaveloxolone, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Clinical and pharmacokinetic data are currently lacking. According to the manufacturer, significantly decreased omaveloxolone exposure is expected following concomitant use of potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of omaveloxolone should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative dosing or treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Applies to: deferasirox

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: According to product labeling, the bioavailability of deferasirox was variably increased when taken with a meal.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure consistent plasma drug levels, deferasirox should be taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before eating preferably at the same time everyday.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of omaveloxolone, 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 other CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. When administered with itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, omaveloxolone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased 3-fold and 4-fold, respectively. When administered with verapamil, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, omaveloxolone Cmax and AUC increased approximately 1.25-fold each. 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 omaveloxolone may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as lipid abnormalities and increased aminotransferases and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP).

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may increase the oral bioavailability of omaveloxolone. Coadministration with a high-fat meal (800 to 1000 calories, with approximately 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrates, and fat, respectively) increased omaveloxolone Cmax and AUC by approximately 350% and 15%, respectively, compared to fasted conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Omaveloxolone should be administered on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before eating. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or supplements that contain grapefruit during treatment with omaveloxolone.

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.
