Drug Interactions between Aldroxicon II and nirogacestat
This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- Aldroxicon II (aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide/simethicone)
- nirogacestat
Interactions between your drugs
aluminum hydroxide nirogacestat
Applies to: Aldroxicon II (aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone) and nirogacestat
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent administration of agents that increase gastric pH such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine type 2 (H2)-receptor antagonists, or antacids may decrease the plasma concentrations of nirogacestat. According to the manufacturer, nirogacestat is poorly soluble at a pH of 6 or more. Reduced therapeutic efficacy may occur.
MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer advises that antacids may be preferable if the use of a gastric acid reducing agent is considered clinically necessary. Dosage of the antacid should be separated from nirogacestat by at least 2 hours.

Drug and food interactions
aluminum hydroxide food
Applies to: Aldroxicon II (aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone)
GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant administration of aluminum-containing products (e.g., antacids and phosphate binders) and citrates may significantly increase serum aluminum concentrations, resulting in toxicity. Citrates or citric acid are contained in numerous soft drinks, citrus fruits, juices, and effervescent and dispersible drug formulations. Citrates enhance the gastrointestinal absorption of aluminum by an unknown mechanism, which may involve the formation of a soluble aluminum-citrate complex. Various studies have reported that citrate increases aluminum absorption by 4.6- to 50-fold in healthy subjects. Patients with renal insufficiency are particularly at risk of developing hyperaluminemia and encephalopathy. Fatalities have been reported. Patients with renal failure or on hemodialysis may also be at risk from soft drinks and effervescent and dispersible drug formulations that contain citrates or citric acid. It is unknown what effect citrus fruits or juices would have on aluminum absorption in healthy patients.
MANAGEMENT: The concomitant use of aluminum- and citrate-containing products and foods should be avoided by renally impaired patients. Hemodialysis patients should especially be cautioned about effervescent and dispersible over-the-counter remedies and soft drinks. Some experts also recommend that healthy patients should separate doses of aluminum-containing antacids and citrates by 2 to 3 hours.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The administration of aluminum-containing antacids with enteral nutrition may result in precipitation, formation of bezoars, and obstruction of feeding tubes. The proposed mechanism is the formation of an insoluble complex between the aluminum and the protein in the enteral feeding. Several cases of esophageal plugs and nasogastric tube obstructions have been reported in patients receiving high-protein liquids and an aluminum hydroxide-magnesium hydroxide antacid or an aluminum hydroxide antacid.
MANAGEMENT: Some experts recommend that antacids should not be mixed with or given after high protein formulations, that the antacid dose should be separated from the feeding by as much as possible, and that the tube should be thoroughly flushed before administration.

nirogacestat food
Applies to: nirogacestat
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and starfruit may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of nirogacestat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in these fruits. Coadministration of multiple doses of nirogacestat (150 mg twice daily) with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors erythromycin and fluconazole are predicted to increase the AUC of nirogacestat by 2.73-fold and 3.18-fold, respectively. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit, Seville oranges, or starfruit. 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 systemic exposure to nirogacestat may increase the risk of adverse effects including diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, hepatotoxicity, electrolyte abnormalities, and non-melanoma skin cancers.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nirogacestat should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, starfruit, or any supplement containing grapefruit.
