Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ribociclib bictegravir

Applies to: Kisqali (ribociclib) and Biktarvy (bictegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 may increase 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 volunteers studied under fasted conditions, administration of a single 75 mg dose of bictegravir during treatment with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor voriconazole (300 mg twice daily) increased mean bictegravir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 9% and 61%, respectively, compared to administration of bictegravir alone. In addition, in healthy volunteers studied under fed conditions, administration of a single 75 mg dose of bictegravir during treatment with the potent CYP450 3A4 and UGT1A1 inhibitor atazanavir (400 mg once daily) increased mean bictegravir AUC by 315%, compared to administration of bictegravir alone.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when bictegravir is used with CYP450 3A4 and UGT1A1 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for increased adverse effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ribociclib food

Applies to: Kisqali (ribociclib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Pomegranates and grapefruit may increase the systemic exposure to ribociclib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in these fruits. Increased exposure to ribociclib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as infections, neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, alopecia, fatigue, headache, and abnormal liver function may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving ribociclib should avoid consumption of pomegranates or pomegranate juice and grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment.

Minor

tenofovir food

Applies to: Biktarvy (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.
