Drug Interactions between Fiorinal with Codeine III and pirtobrutinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants (e.g., nonbenzodiazepine sedatives/hypnotics, anxiolytics, muscle relaxants, general anesthetics, antipsychotics, other opioids, alcohol) may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. The risk of hypotension may also be increased with some CNS depressants (e.g., alcohol, benzodiazepines, phenothiazines).

MANAGEMENT: The use of opioids in conjunction with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants should generally be avoided unless alternative treatment options are inadequate. If coadministration is necessary, the dosage and duration of each drug should be limited to the minimum required to achieve desired clinical effect, with cautious titration and dosage adjustments when needed. Patients should be monitored closely for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation, and advised to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how these medications affect them. Cough medications containing opioids (e.g., codeine, hydrocodone) should not be prescribed to patients using benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants including alcohol. For patients who have been receiving extended therapy with both an opioid and a benzodiazepine and require discontinuation of either medication, a gradual tapering of dose is advised, since abrupt withdrawal may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Severe cases of benzodiazepine withdrawal, primarily in patients who have received excessive doses over a prolonged period, may result in numbness and tingling of extremities, hypersensitivity to light and noise, hallucinations, and epileptic seizures.

MONITOR: Coadministration with pirtobrutinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C8, 2C19, 3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). The peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of repaglinide, a CYP450 2C8 substrate, increased by 98% and 130%, respectively, and the Cmax and AUC of omeprazole, a CYP450 2C19 substrate, increased by 49% and 56%, respectively, when administered with pirtobrutinib. The Cmax and AUC of oral midazolam, a CYP450 3A4 substrate, increased by 58% and 70%, respectively, while exposure to IV midazolam was not significantly affected, when administered with pirtobrutinib. The Cmax and AUC of digoxin, a P-gp substrate, increased by 51% and 17%, respectively, when administered with a single pirtobrutinib dose (200 mg), and 55% and 35%, respectively, when administered with multiple pirtobrutinib doses (200 mg daily). The Cmax and AUC of rosuvastatin, a BCRP substrate, increased by 146% and 140%, respectively, when administered with pirtobrutinib. The risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if pirtobrutinib is used concomitantly with substrates of CYP450 2C8, 2C19, 3A4, P-gp, and/or BCRP, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration of pirtobrutinib with antithrombotic agents may increase the risk of bleeding. According to the manufacturer, fatal hemorrhage occurred in 0.2% of patients treated with pirtobrutinib while Grade 3 or higher bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding occurred in 2.4% of patients treated with pirtobrutinib. Major hemorrhage occurred in 1.7% of patients taking pirtobrutinib without antithrombotic agents and 0.7% of patients taking pirtobrutinib with antithrombotic agents.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if pirtobrutinib is used in patients taking antithrombotic agents. Consider the risks and benefits of antithrombotic agents when coadministered with pirtobrutinib and monitor patients for signs of bleeding. If bleeding occurs, dosage reduction or temporary or permanent discontinuation of pirtobrutinib may be required.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of pirtobrutinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Concomitant use of bosentan or efavirenz, moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers, is predicted to decrease pirtobrutinib AUC by 27% and 49%, respectively. No data are available for other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inducers.

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

One study has reported that coadministration of caffeine and aspirin lead to a 25% increase in the rate of appearance and 17% increase in maximum concentration of salicylate in the plasma. A significantly higher area under the plasma concentration time curve of salicylate was also reported when both drugs were administered together. The exact mechanism of this interaction has not been specified. Physicians and patients should be aware that coadministration of aspirin and caffeine may lead to higher salicylate levels faster.
