Pramlintide Alcohol, Food & Lifestyle Interactions

There is 1 food and lifestyle interaction with pramlintide:

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Pramlintide slows gastric emptying and may delay the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. In a pharmacokinetic study of 24 patients with type 2 diabetes, coadministration with pramlintide (120 mcg) decreased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of acetaminophen (1000 mg) by 29% and increased its time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) based on the time of acetaminophen administration relative to pramlintide injection. Pramlintide significantly increased acetaminophen Tmax (range 48 to 72 minutes) when acetaminophen was administered simultaneously with or up to 2 hours following pramlintide injection, but it had negligible effect when acetaminophen was administered 1 to 2 hours before pramlintide injection.

MANAGEMENT: When rapid onset of a concomitantly administered oral medication is critical to its effectiveness, the medication should be administered at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after pramlintide injection.
