Interactions between your drugs

Major

armodafinil belzutifan

Applies to: armodafinil and belzutifan

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of belzutifan with inhibitors of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 (UGT2B17) and/or CYP450 2C19 may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk and severity of adverse effects, including anemia and hypoxia, of belzutifan. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of UGT 2B17 and/or CYP450 2C19, the isoenzymes responsible for the metabolic clearance of belzutifan. Patients who are dual UGT 2B17 and CYP450 2C19 poor metabolizers are at a greater risk of adverse reactions.

MANAGEMENT: Close monitoring is recommended whenever belzutifan is used concomitantly with a UGT 2B17 and/or CYP450 2C19 inhibitor. Clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever a UGT 2B17 and/or CYP450 2C19 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy with belzutifan, and the dosage adjusted as necessary. Consult the manufacturer's product labeling for specific dose adjustment recommendations. Patients should be monitored for development of anemia and hypoxia.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

armodafinil food

Applies to: armodafinil

Administration with food may delay the absorption of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer) without significantly affecting their overall bioavailability. According to the product labeling, modafinil's absorption may be delayed by approximately one hour if taken with food. Similarly, the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of armodafinil may be delayed by approximately 2 to 4 hours in the fed state.

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.
