Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

octreotide tepotinib

Applies to: octreotide and tepotinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of tepotinib, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions such as interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, hepatotoxicity, edema, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and musculoskeletal pain. Tepotinib is a substrate of both CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and P-gp efflux transporter. However, the effect of CYP450 3A4 or P-gp inhibitors on tepotinib has not been studied clinically.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tepotinib is used with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp. Patients should be monitored for increased adverse effects, and the tepotinib dosage adjusted as necessary.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

octreotide food

Applies to: octreotide

MONITOR: Due to their gastrointestinal pharmacologic effects, somatostatin analogs (e.g., octreotide, lanreotide) may variously affect the absorption of dietary nutrients and concomitantly administered oral medications. Somatostatin analogs have been shown to prolong gastrointestinal transit time and inhibit intestinal absorption of some nutrients such as fat. Clinical data are limited, however. In case reports, octreotide has been reported to reduce the relative bioavailability of cyclosporine. Transplant rejection and significant reductions in cyclosporine levels, sometimes to undetectable levels, have been reported in association with the interaction. Vitamin K absorption was not affected when concomitantly administered with lanreotide according to the manufacturer.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of the potential for altered absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications during treatment with somatostatin analogs. Blood levels and clinical response should be monitored, particularly for drugs that have a narrow therapeutic index, and the dosages adjusted as necessary.

tepotinib food

Applies to: tepotinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of tepotinib. When tepotinib was administered after a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150 calories from protein, 250 calories from carbohydrate, 500 to 600 calories from fat), tepotinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasted conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Tepotinib should be administered with food at approximately the same time each day.

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.
