Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

miFEPRIStone atrasentan

Applies to: Mifeprex (mifepristone) and atrasentan

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of atrasentan, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. When a single dose of atrasentan 10 mg was administered with ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, atrasentan systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 90%. The risk of adverse effects such as edema, hepatotoxicity and anemia may be increased with this combination. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when atrasentan is used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for edema, anemia and signs of hepatotoxicity such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, loss of appetite, itching and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

miFEPRIStone food

Applies to: Mifeprex (mifepristone)

Food increases the blood levels of this medication. If you are only receiving one or two doses, you may take it without regard to meals. However, if you are receiving the medication for long-term treatment, you should take it with food at the same time everyday to maintain consistent blood levels and effects. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment, as it may increase blood levels of the medication to undesirable levels and increase the risk of side effects, including headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea, hypokalemia (low blood potassium), fluid retention, swelling, and high blood pressure. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
