Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

glipiZIDE alpelisib

Applies to: glipizide and alpelisib

MONITOR: Coadministration with alpelisib may decrease the plasma concentrations and therapeutic effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C9, such as warfarin. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is increased clearance due to alpelisib-mediated induction of CYP450 2C9.

MANAGEMENT: Patient monitoring is recommended if alpelisib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C9, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. The potential for diminished therapeutic effects should be considered when alpelisib is prescribed in combination with drugs that are CYP450 2C9 substrates. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever alpelisib is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. An alternative agent with no or minimal CYP450 2C9-inducing activity may also be considered.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

glipiZIDE food

Applies to: glipizide

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes. Hypoglycemia most frequently occurs during acute consumption of alcohol. Even modest amounts can lower blood sugar significantly, especially when the alcohol is ingested on an empty stomach or following exercise. The mechanism involves inhibition of both gluconeogenesis as well as the counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia. Episodes of hypoglycemia may last for 8 to 12 hours after ethanol ingestion. By contrast, chronic alcohol abuse can cause impaired glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels in patients with well controlled diabetes. A disulfiram-like reaction (e.g., flushing, headache, and nausea) to alcohol has been reported frequently with the use of chlorpropamide and very rarely with other sulfonylureas.

MANAGEMENT: Patients with diabetes should avoid consuming alcohol if their blood glucose is not well controlled, or if they have hypertriglyceridemia, neuropathy, or pancreatitis. Patients with well controlled diabetes should limit their alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with their normal meal plan. Alcohol should not be consumed on an empty stomach or following exercise.

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.
