Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

betrixaban alpelisib

Applies to: betrixaban and alpelisib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of betrixaban, which is a substrate of the efflux transporter. When administered with the potent P-gp inhibitor verapamil, betrixaban peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by nearly 5-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 3-fold compared to betrixaban administered alone. When given with ketoconazole, another P-gp inhibitor, betrixaban Cmax and AUC increased by a little more than 2-fold each. In the Acute Medically Ill Prevention with Extended Duration Betrixaban (APEX) Study, use of betrixaban at a 50% dosage reduction in combination with P-gp inhibitors or in the presence of severe renal impairment was associated with increased relative risks of bleeding, including major bleeding, compared to treatment with enoxaparin.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when betrixaban is used with P-gp inhibitors. Closer monitoring of the pharmacologic effects of betrixaban may be appropriate whenever a P-gp inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Patients should be routinely evaluated for signs and symptoms suggesting blood loss such as a drop in hemoglobin and/or hematocrit, hypotension, or fetal distress (in pregnant women). Concomitant use of betrixaban with P-gp inhibitors should be avoided in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl<30 mL/min).

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

betrixaban food

Applies to: betrixaban

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the oral bioavailability of betrixaban. When administered with a low-fat (900 calories; 20% fat) or high-fat (900 calories; 60% fat) meal, betrixaban peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased relative to administration in the fasting state by an average of 70% and 61%, respectively, with the low-fat meal and 50% and 48%, respectively, with the high-fat meal. The effect of food on betrixaban pharmacokinetics could be observed for up to 6 hours after meal intake.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends taking betrixaban at the same time each day with food.

Moderate

alpelisib food

Applies to: alpelisib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of alpelisib. When administered with a high-fat high-calorie meal (985 calories with 58.1 g of fat) or a low-fat low-calorie meal (334 calories with 8.7 g of fat) the AUC and Cmax of a single dose of alpelisib was increased by 73% and 84% and 77% and 145%, respectively. There were no clinically significant differences in alpelisib AUC between the two types of meals. In addition, food appears to have a more pronounced effect on the solubility of alpelisib than gastric pH. When coadministered with a single 300 mg dose of alpelisib, ranitidine decreased the absorption and overall exposure of alpelisib. Following administration of ranitidine with a low-fat low-calorie meal, the mean AUC and Cmax of alpelisib was decreased by 21% and 36%, respectively. Administration of ranitidine under fasting conditions reduced the mean AUC and Cmax of alpelisib by 30% and 51%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, alpelisib should be administered with a 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.
