Interactions between your drugs
mitotane berotralstat
Applies to: mitotane and berotralstat
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
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Fat-rich food enhances the absorption of mitotane. One study evaluated blood levels of mitotane (o,p'-DDD) after subjects ingested a single dose of 2 g administered using various delivery vehicles (e.g., tablets, granules, milk, chocolate or oil emulsion). Mitotane plasma levels were significantly higher for milk, chocolate, and oil emulsion when compared to those who received tablets or granules alone. In the same study, mitotane levels were evaluated in subjects following long-term treatment (total dose of 200 g over 30 to 60 days) in tablet, oil emulsion, or milk formulations. Significantly higher mean plasma levels were recorded in subjects who received mitotane as an oil emulsion or mixed in milk, when compared to tablets alone. Additionally, the recovery of o,p'-DDD from the feces was about 5 times higher in subjects who received tablets alone, suggesting absorption was reduced when compared to subjects who received mitotane mixed with a fat-rich vehicle (e.g., oil emulsion or milk).
GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of mitotane with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may potentiate adverse effects such as somnolence and sedation.
MANAGEMENT: According to product labeling, mitotane tablets should be taken during meals containing fat-rich food (e.g., milk, chocolate, or oil) and with a full glass of water. Patients should be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medication affects them.
