Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

sonidegib abametapir topical

Applies to: sonidegib and abametapir topical

GENERALLY AVOID: Based on in vitro inhibition data, a single topical application of abametapir lotion may increase plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, CYP450 2B6, and CYP450 1A2 isoenzymes and increase their systemic concentrations. The proposed mechanism is high and prolonged systemic exposure to the metabolite abametapir carboxyl, which has been shown to be an in vitro inhibitor of CYP450 3A4, CYP450 2B6, and CYP450 1A2. The mean half-life of abametapir carboxyl in adults is estimated to be 71 hours or longer.

MANAGEMENT: Use of CYP450 3A4, CYP450 2B6, and CYP450 1A2 substrates should generally be avoided within 2 weeks after topical application of abametapir lotion. If this is not feasible, the manufacturer recommends avoiding use of abametapir lotion. If abametapir is used, monitor for increased toxicity of the CYP450 3A4, CYP450 2B6, and/or CYP450 1A2 substrate.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

sonidegib food

Applies to: sonidegib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly increases the oral bioavailability of sonidegib. According to the product labeling, administration of sonidegib with a high-fat meal (approximately 1000 calories; 50% from fat) increased mean sonidegib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 7.4- to 7.8-fold.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of sonidegib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased exposure to sonidegib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as musculoskeletal toxicity, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, alopecia, pruritus, and dysgeusia.

MANAGEMENT: Sonidegib should be administered on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with sonidegib.

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.
