Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

chlorpheniramine methscopolamine

Applies to: Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine) and Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine)

MONITOR: Agents with anticholinergic properties (e.g., sedating antihistamines; antispasmodics; neuroleptics; phenothiazines; skeletal muscle relaxants; tricyclic antidepressants; disopyramide) may have additive effects when used in combination. Excessive parasympatholytic effects may result in paralytic ileus, hyperthermia, heat stroke, and the anticholinergic intoxication syndrome. Peripheral symptoms of intoxication commonly include mydriasis, blurred vision, flushed face, fever, dry skin and mucous membranes, tachycardia, urinary retention, and constipation. Central symptoms may include memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, hallucinations, psychosis, delirium, hyperactivity, twitching or jerking movements, stereotypy, and seizures. Central nervous system-depressant effects may also be additively or synergistically increased when these agents are combined, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. Use of neuroleptics in combination with other neuroleptics or anticholinergic agents may increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia. In addition, some neuroleptics and tricyclic antidepressants may cause prolongation of the QT interval and theoretically, concurrent use of two or more drugs that can cause QT interval prolongation may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when agents with anticholinergic properties are combined, particularly in the elderly and those with underlying organic brain disease, who tend to be more sensitive to the central anticholinergic effects of these drugs and in whom toxicity symptoms may be easily overlooked. Patients should be advised to notify their physician promptly if they experience potential symptoms of anticholinergic intoxication such as abdominal pain, fever, heat intolerance, blurred vision, confusion, and/or hallucinations. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them. A reduction in anticholinergic dosages may be necessary if excessive adverse effects develop.

Moderate

chlorpheniramine fedratinib

Applies to: Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine) and fedratinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with fedratinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or 2D6 isoenzymes. Coadministration of fedratinib with a single dose each of the CYP450 3A4 substrate midazolam (2 mg), CYP450 2C19 substrate omeprazole (20 mg), and CYP450 2D6 substrate metoprolol (100 mg) increased the systemic exposure (AUC) of the substrates by 4-, 3-, and 2-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended when fedratinib is used concomitantly with substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or 2D6. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever fedratinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index.

phenylephrine methscopolamine

Applies to: Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine) and Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine)

MONITOR: The pressor response to phenylephrine may be potentiated by the vagolytic effect of atropine, which inhibits the reflex bradycardia that would normally accompany any increases in blood pressure induced by phenylephrine. Other antimuscarinic agents may also participate in this interaction, although clinical data are lacking. In one report, pseudo-pheochromocytoma (i.e., significant increases in blood pressure and tachycardia) occurred in seven patients who underwent eye surgery and were given phenylephrine 10% ophthalmic solution and systemic atropine, three of whom subsequently developed left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema that required intensive care monitoring. Two patients had preexisting hypertension, while others had no known history of cardiovascular disease. All had received general anesthesia with propofol, phenoperidine, and vecuronium. Since phenylephrine use alone may be associated with cardiovascular toxicities including hypertension, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and cardiac failure, the extent of involvement by atropine is uncertain. The authors reported no further cardiovascular events following implementation of various measures that reduced phenylephrine dosage and systemic exposure, including: use of a milder strength of phenylephrine ophthalmic solution; swabbing to minimize drainage into the nasolachrymal duct to the nasal mucosa; and use of a cannula to reduce drop size. In a study of six healthy volunteers, diastolic and systolic blood pressure increased by 4 mmHg following administration of phenylephrine (0.42 mcg/kg/min), compared to 17 mmHg when phenylephrine was given after three doses of atropine (0.02, 0.01 and 0.01 mg/kg at 30 minute intervals).

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if phenylephrine (systemic or ophthalmic) is used in combination with atropine or other antimuscarinic agents. Cardiovascular status, including blood pressure and heart rate, should be closely monitored. When using ophthalmic formulations, measures to minimize systemic absorption should be employed, such as digital compression of the lacrimal sac or lid closure after instillation. A milder strength (< 10%) is preferable if phenylephrine ophthalmic solution is given.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

chlorpheniramine food

Applies to: Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

fedratinib food

Applies to: fedratinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of fedratinib. 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 a single 300 mg oral dose of fedratinib (0.75 times the recommended dose) was coadministered with 200 mg twice daily ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, fedratinib total systemic exposure (AUC(inf)) increased by approximately 3-fold. Using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulations, coadministration of fedratinib 400 mg once daily and ketoconazole 400 mg once daily is predicted to increase fedratinib AUC at steady state by 2-fold. Coadministration with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, erythromycin (500 mg three times daily) or diltiazem (120 mg twice daily), is predicted to increase fedratinib AUC by approximately 1.5- to 2-fold following single-dose administration and by approximately 1.2-fold at steady state. 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 fedratinib exposure may potentiate the risk of adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, encephalopathy (including Wernicke's), liver (ALT, AST) and pancreatic (amylase, lipase) enzyme elevations, increased blood creatinine, and secondary malignancies.

Food does not affect the oral bioavailability of fedratinib to a clinically significant extent. Administration of a single 500 mg dose (1.25 times the recommended dose) with a low-fat, low-calorie meal (162 calories; 6% from fat, 78% from carbohydrate, 16% from protein) or a high-fat, high-calorie meal (815 calories; 52% from fat, 33% from carbohydrate, 15% from protein) increased fedratinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by up to 14% and 24%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Fedratinib may be taken with or without food. However, administration with a high-fat meal may help reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with fedratinib.

methscopolamine food

Applies to: Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

Moderate

phenylephrine food

Applies to: Re-Drylex Jr (chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / phenylephrine)

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.
