Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

fexofenadine fostamatinib

Applies to: Allegra-D 24 Hour Allergy & Congestion (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) and fostamatinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with fostamatinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance in the intestine and/or liver due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism and P-gp-mediated efflux by fostamatinib. According to the product labeling, administration of a single 40 mg dose of the CYP450 3A4 substrate simvastatin with fostamatinib 100 mg twice daily increased simvastatin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 113% and 64%, respectively. In addition, simvastatin acid Cmax increased by 83% and AUC increased by 64%. When the P-gp substrate digoxin (0.25 mg once daily) was administered with fostamatinib (100 mg twice daily), digoxin Cmax and AUC increased by 70% and 37%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when fostamatinib is used concurrently with drugs that are known substrates of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever fostamatinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

fexofenadine food

Applies to: Allegra-D 24 Hour Allergy & Congestion (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with large amounts of certain fruit juices, including grapefruit, orange and apple, may decrease the oral bioavailability of fexofenadine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of drug efflux via intestinal organic anion transporting polypeptides (e.g., P-glycoprotein), of which fexofenadine is a substrate. In a five-way crossover study with 10 healthy volunteers, 1/4-strength grapefruit juice, grapefruit juice, orange juice and apple juice (300 mL with drug administration and 150 mL every 1/2 hour for up to 3 hours, total volume 1.2 L) reduced the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of a 120 mg dose of fexofenadine by 23%, 67%, 72% and 77%, respectively, compared to water. Mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was similarly affected. The clinical significance of these changes is unknown. However, results from studies using histamine-induced skin wheals and flares found that the size of wheal and flare was significantly larger when fexofenadine was administered with either grapefruit or orange juices compared to water.

MANAGEMENT: To maximize plasma levels and therapeutic effects, fexofenadine should be taken with water. In addition, patients should refrain from consuming large amounts of grapefruit, orange, or apple juice.

pseudoephedrine food

Applies to: Allegra-D 24 Hour Allergy & Congestion (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine)

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.

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.
