Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

zolpidem idelalisib

Applies to: Ambien (zolpidem) and idelalisib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with idelalisib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. Idelalisib has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of this isoenzyme. In healthy volunteers, administration of a single 5 mg dose of midazolam, a CYP450 3A4 probe substrate, with idelalisib 150 mg for 15 doses increased mean midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 2.4-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) by 5.4-fold.

MANAGEMENT: Use of idelalisib should generally be avoided with drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range (e.g., antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, antineoplastics, immunosuppressants) or those that are considered sensitive substrates (e.g., ergot derivatives, statins, oral midazolam, triazolam). Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever idelalisib is added to or withdrawn from therapy, if coadministration is required.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

zolpidem food

Applies to: Ambien (zolpidem)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of zolpidem. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of zolpidem with food may delay the onset of hypnotic effects. In 30 healthy subjects, administration of zolpidem 20 minutes after a meal resulted in decreased mean peak plasma drug concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 25% and 15%, respectively, compared to fasting. The time to reach peak plasma drug concentration (Tmax) was prolonged by 60%, from 1.4 to 2.2 hours.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving zolpidem should be advised to avoid the consumption of alcohol. For faster sleep onset, zolpidem should not be administered with or immediately after 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.
