Interactions between your drugs

Major

mitotane bictegravir

Applies to: mitotane and bictegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4, particularly those that can also induce uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of bictegravir. According to the product labeling, bictegravir is a substrate of both CYP450 3A4 and UGT1A1; however, the extent to which each enzymatic pathway contributes to the metabolic clearance of bictegravir has not been reported. In healthy study subjects, administration of a single 75 mg dose of bictegravir during treatment with rifampin 600 mg once daily decreased mean bictegravir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 28% and 75%, respectively, compared to administration of bictegravir alone. When bictegravir 75 mg once daily was coadministered with rifabutin 300 mg once daily, mean bictegravir Cmax, AUC and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) decreased by 20%, 38% and 56%, respectively. These results are consistent with the fact that rifampin is a more potent inducer of CYP450 3A4 than rifabutin. Rifampin is also a known inducer of UGT1A1.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels, concomitant use of bictegravir with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

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.

Minor

tenofovir food

Applies to: bictegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.

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.
