Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

alvimopan berotralstat

Applies to: alvimopan and berotralstat

MONITOR: Coadministration with berotralstat may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of drugs that are substrates of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of P-gp activity by berotralstat. The administration of a 300 mg dose of berotralstat (twice the recommended daily dose) increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of the sensitive P-gp substrate digoxin, by approximately 1.6-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively. Clinical data are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when berotralstat is coadministered with drugs that are substrates of P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index. This interaction has only been reported at twice the recommended daily dose of berotralstat. Clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered following the initiation or discontinuation of berotralstat, and the individual dosage of the concomitant agents adjusted as needed.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

alvimopan food

Applies to: alvimopan

Coadministration with a high-fat meal may decrease the rate and extent of alvimopan absorption. According to the product labeling, alvimopan peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were decreased by approximately 38% and 21%, respectively, and the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) was prolonged by approximately 1 hour when taken with a high-fat meal. The clinical significance is unknown. In postoperative ileus clinical trials, the preoperative dose of alvimopan was administered in a fasting state, and subsequent doses were given without regard to meals.

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.
