Interactions between your drugs

Major

amprenavir siponimod

Applies to: amprenavir and siponimod

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with drugs that cause moderate inhibition of CYP450 2C9 and moderate or strong inhibition of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of siponimod, which is primarily metabolized by these isoenzymes. This interaction includes concomitant use of siponimod with a moderate CYP450 2C9/3A4 dual inhibitor or a moderate CYP450 2C9 inhibitor in combination with a separate moderate or strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. In healthy CYP450 2C9*1/*1 genotype volunteers, coadministration of a moderate CYP450 2C9/3A4 dual inhibitor (fluconazole 200 mg daily at steady-state) and siponimod (a single 4 mg dose) resulted in 2-fold and 50% increases in siponimod AUC and terminal half-life, respectively. According to in silico (computer-based) evaluation, use of fluconazole resulted in a 2- to 4-fold increase in the steady-state AUC of siponimod across different CYP450 2C9 genotypes. The CYP450 2C9 genotype influences the fractional contributions of CYP450 2C9 and 3A4 to overall elimination. If the metabolic activity of CYP450 2C9 is decreased, a larger contribution of CYP450 3A4 can be anticipated.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of siponimod with a moderate or strong CYP450 2C9/3A4 dual inhibitor (e.g., fluconazole, mifepristone) or a moderate CYP450 2C9 inhibitor (e.g., abiraterone, amiodarone, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, nitisinone, oxandrolone) in combination with a moderate or strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor (e.g., amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, boceprevir, ceritinib, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, cobicistat, conivaptan, crizotinib, dalfopristin-quinupristin, darunavir, delavirdine, diltiazem, dronedarone, erythromycin, fedratinib, fluvoxamine, fosamprenavir, fosaprepitant, fosnetupitant, fusidic acid, idelalisib, imatinib, indinavir, isavuconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, letermovir, mibefradil, nefazodone, nelfinavir, netupitant, posaconazole, ribociclib, ritonavir, saquinavir, stiripentol, telaprevir, telithromycin, troleandomycin, verapamil, voriconazole, voxelotor) is not recommended. Caution is advised if siponimod is used in combination with moderate CYP450 2C9 inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

amprenavir food

Applies to: amprenavir

GENERALLY AVOID: Administration with a high-fat meal may decrease the oral bioavailability of amprenavir. The mechanism is unknown. In healthy volunteers, consumption of a standardized high-fat meal decreased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of amprenavir (1200 mg single oral dose) by 36% and 21%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasted state. The time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was increased 44% following a high-fat meal.

Grapefruit juice does not appear to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir. In 12 healthy volunteers, administration with grapefruit juice (200 mL) decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of amprenavir (1200 mg single oral dose) by 22% compared to water. The median time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was prolonged from 0.75 to 1.13 hours. These pharmacokinetic changes are not thought to be clinically significant, since antiretroviral response is more closely associated with systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin), which were not affected in the study.

MANAGEMENT: Amprenavir may be taken with or without food, but should not be taken with a high-fat 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.
