Alogliptin Disease Interactions

There are 3 disease interactions with alogliptin.

Major

DPP-4 inhibitors (applies to alogliptin) pancreatitis

Major Potential Hazard, Low plausibility.

There have been postmarketing reports of acute pancreatitis in patients taking DPP-4 inhibitors. These drugs should be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis or pancreatic disease, although it is unknown if they are at increased risk. Patients should be observed for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis during treatment. If pancreatitis is suspected, treatment should be discontinued immediately and appropriate management should be initiated.

Moderate

Alogliptin (applies to alogliptin) liver disease

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

There have been postmarketing reports of hepatic failure (fatal and non-fatal) in patients taking alogliptin. Treatment should be started with caution in patients with preexisting liver disease. It is recommended to assess the liver function of the patient before starting therapy. If liver test abnormalities worsen without explanation during treatment, therapy should be discontinued and the cause of the abnormalities should be studied.

Moderate

DPP-4 (applies to alogliptin) renal dysfunction

Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

It is recommended to assess renal function prior to initiating treatment with DPP-4 inhibitors. Patients with moderate to severe renal insufficiency and end stage renal dysfunction will require a dose adjustment. Linagliptin will not require a dose adjustment per manufacturer's information. Additionally, there have been postmarketing reports of worsening renal function in some patients with renal insufficiency taking sitagliptin at inappropriate doses. However, sitagliptin has not been found to be nephrotoxic in preclinical studies or clinical trials at appropriate doses.

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.
