Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

tenofovir tafamidis

Applies to: AccessPak for HIV PEP Basic (emtricitabine / tenofovir disoproxil) and tafamidis

MONITOR: Based on in vitro data, coadministration with tafamidis may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of toxicity of drugs that are substrates of the transport protein breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) (e.g., methotrexate, rosuvastatin, imatinib), uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (e.g., bictegravir, irinotecan, raltegravir), and/or uptake transporters OAT1 and OAT3 (organic anion transporters) (e.g., bumetanide, furosemide, lamivudine, methotrexate, oseltamivir, tenofovir, ganciclovir, adefovir, cidofovir, zidovudine, zalcitabine) at clinically relevant concentrations. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to tafamidis-mediated inhibition of the corresponding transport protein.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if tafamidis is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of these transport proteins, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever tafamidis is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

tenofovir food

Applies to: AccessPak for HIV PEP Basic (emtricitabine / tenofovir disoproxil)

Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.

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.
