erythromycin tezacaftor

Applies to: erythromycin and Alyftrek (deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor)

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with potent or moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor and deutivacaftor, which are primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In clinical studies, itraconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 6.4-fold, tezacaftor AUC by 4 to 4.5-fold and deutivacaftor AUC by 11.1-fold. Erythromycin, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase vanzacaftor peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and AUC by 3.2- and 3.3-fold, respectively, and deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 2.9- and 4.1-fold, respectively. Likewise, fluconazole, another moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, is predicted to increase vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 2.6- and 2.5-fold; and 3.1- and 2.3-fold, respectively. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Please consult manufacturer's product labeling for complete dosing information.
For vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor:
- For patients 6 to less than 12 years old, weighing less than 40 kg:

The evening dose of ivacaftor should not be taken.

For elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor:

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

erythromycin food

Applies to: erythromycin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may variably affect the bioavailability of different oral formulations and salt forms of erythromycin. The individual product package labeling should be consulted regarding the appropriate time of administration in relation to food ingestion. Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered erythromycin. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. In an open-label, crossover study consisting of six healthy subjects, the coadministration with double-strength grapefruit juice increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of a single dose of erythromycin (400 mg) by 52% and 49%, respectively, compared to water. The half-life was not affected. The clinical significance of this potential interaction is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: In general, optimal serum levels are achieved when erythromycin is taken in the fasting state, one-half to two hours before meals. However, some erythromycin products may be taken without regard to meals.

tezacaftor food

Applies to: Alyftrek (deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, and vanzacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with fat-containing food may increase the oral bioavailability of vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor. Administration with a fat containing meal increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 4- (low-fat meal) to 6- (high-fat meal) fold. While deutivacaftor AUC increased approximately 3- (low-fat meal) to 4- (high-fat meal) fold, relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, vanzacaftor -containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit. To improve absorption, patients should be advised to take vanzacaftor and/or deutivacaftor containing medications with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products at approximately the same time of the day. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.

erythromycin food

Applies to: erythromycin

Ethanol, when combined with erythromycin, may delay absorption and therefore the clinical effects of the antibiotic. The mechanism appears to be due to slowed gastric emptying by ethanol. Data is available only for erythromycin ethylsuccinate. Patients should be advised to avoid ethanol while taking erythromycin salts.

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.
