Interactions between your drugs
mitotane berotralstat
Applies to: mitotane and berotralstat
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma concentrations of berotralstat. Berotralstat is a substrate of both P-gp and BCRP. Coadministration with the potent P-gp and BCRP inhibitor cyclosporine increased berotralstat peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and total systemic drug exposure (AUC 0-inf) by 25% and 69%, respectively. However, other regulatory bodies reported that cyclosporine decreased the Cmax of a single 150 mg dose of berotralstat by 7% and increased the AUC by 24-27%. Increased plasma concentrations of berotralstat may increase the risk of adverse effects, including the potential for QT prolongation. Berotralstat may cause concentration-dependent prolongation of the Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF). A mean increase in the QTcF interval of 15.9 milliseconds has been reported at 3-times the recommended dose of berotralstat; however, berotralstat has not been shown to prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent when administered at the recommended daily dose of 150 mg. Data are not available for other, less potent P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitors.
MANAGEMENT: No dose adjustments of berotralstat are recommended; however, monitoring for adverse events may be advisable during concomitant use of berotralstat with P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitors. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience undue adverse effects of berotralstat such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Patients should seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, or syncope.
Drug and food interactions
mitotane food
Applies to: mitotane
High fat food significantly enhances the absorption of mitotane. You should take each dose of mitotane with a full meal containing high fat (e.G., containing milk, chocolate, or oil) and with a full glass of water. Taking mitotane on an empty stomach may lead to inadequate blood levels and reduced effectiveness of the medication. Talk to your doctor if you have questions or have difficulty taking mitotane with food. It is best to avoid or limit the consumption of alcohol, as it can increase drowsiness or other nervous system side effects of mitotane. You should also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. 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.
