Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

amprenavir vilanterol

Applies to: Agenerase (amprenavir) and umeclidinium / vilanterol

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the systemic exposure to vilanterol following oral inhalation, as it is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. The interaction has been studied with fluticasone-vilanterol and ketoconazole. When fluticasone-vilanterol (200 mcg-25 mcg once daily for 7 days) was coadministered with ketoconazole (400 once daily for 11 days) in healthy subjects, fluticasone and vilanterol systemic exposure (AUC) were 36% and 65% higher, respectively, compared to coadministration with placebo. The increase in fluticasone exposure was associated with a 27% reduction in 24-hour weighted mean serum cortisol, whereas the increase in vilanterol exposure was not associated with an increase in beta-2 adrenergic systemic effects on heart rate or blood potassium.

MANAGEMENT: Due to the risk of cardiovascular adverse effects such as increases in pulse rate and blood pressure and ECG changes such as flattening of the T wave, prolongation of the QTc interval, and ST segment depression, caution is recommended when medications containing vilanterol are coadministered with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, conivaptan, nefazodone, cobicistat, delavirdine, protease inhibitors, and ketolide and certain macrolide antibiotics. An increased risk of systemic corticosteroid effects should also be considered when fluticasone-vilanterol is used.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

amprenavir food

Applies to: Agenerase (amprenavir)

GENERALLY AVOID: Administration with a high-fat meal may decrease the oral bioavailability of amprenavir. The mechanism is unknown. In healthy volunteers, consumption of a standardized high-fat meal decreased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of amprenavir (1200 mg single oral dose) by 36% and 21%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasted state. The time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was increased 44% following a high-fat meal.

Grapefruit juice does not appear to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. In 12 healthy volunteers, administration with grapefruit juice (200 mL) decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of amprenavir (1200 mg single oral dose) by 22% compared to water. The median time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was prolonged from 0.75 to 1.13 hours. These pharmacokinetic changes are not thought to be clinically significant, since antiretroviral response is more closely associated with systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin), which were not affected in the study.

MANAGEMENT: Amprenavir may be taken with or without food, but should not be taken with a high-fat meal.

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.
