Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

mefloquine olutasidenib

Applies to: mefloquine and olutasidenib

MONITOR: Coadministration with olutasidenib may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. Based on in vitro studies, olutasidenib may increase clearance via induction of CYP450 3A4, resulting in decreased plasma concentrations of agents that are metabolized by the isoenzyme. Clinical and pharmacokinetic data are currently lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if olutasidenib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. The prescribing information for olutasidenib recommends avoiding coadministration with CYP450 3A4 substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure. If coadministration is required, clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever olutasidenib is added to or withdrawn from therapy.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

mefloquine food

Applies to: mefloquine

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of mefloquine. The proposed mechanism is increased drug solubility in the presence of food. In 20 healthy volunteers, administration of a single 750 mg oral dose of mefloquine 30 minutes following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of mefloquine by 73% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. The Cmax and AUC of the carboxylic acid metabolite were also increased by 35% and 33%, respectively, compared to fasting. In addition, the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of mefloquine was significantly shorter after food intake (17 hours) than in the fasting state (36 hours). There was no difference in the elimination half-life of mefloquine and metabolite, or the Tmax for the metabolite.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, mefloquine should be administered immediately after a meal with at least 8 ounces of water.

Moderate

olutasidenib food

Applies to: olutasidenib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with a high-fat meal may increase the plasma concentrations of olutasidenib. According to the product labeling, administration of a single 150 mg dose with a high-fat meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories, with approximately 50% of those calories from fat) increased olutasidenib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 191% and 83%, respectively, in healthy subjects.

MANAGEMENT: Olutasidenib should be administered at about the same time each day, on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

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.
