Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

boceprevir binimetinib

Applies to: boceprevir and binimetinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 or 2B7, and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma levels and risk of adverse effects of binimetinib. The proposed mechanism involves the reduced metabolic clearance of binimetinib through inhibition of P-gp, UGT 1A1, UGT 2B7, and/or BCRP. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown as no clinically relevant drug interactions have been demonstrated with binimetinib.

MANAGEMENT: Until further information is available, caution is recommended if binimetinib must be used concomitantly with P-gp, UGT 1A1, UGT 2B7, and/or BCRP inhibitors. Binimetinib should be monitored more closely whenever a P-gp, UGT 1A1, UGT 2B7, and/or BCRP inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the binimetinib dosage adjusted as necessary.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

boceprevir food

Applies to: boceprevir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of boceprevir. When given at 800 mg three times daily with food, boceprevir exposure increased by up to 65% relative to administration in the fasting state. The bioavailability of boceprevir was similar regardless of meal type (e.g., high-fat versus low-fat) or whether taken 5 minutes prior to eating, during a meal, or immediately following completion of the meal. Therefore, boceprevir may be taken without regard to either meal type or timing of the meal.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, boceprevir should be administered with a meal or light snack.

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.
