Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

omeprazole bosutinib

Applies to: Prilosec OTC (omeprazole) and bosutinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with proton pump inhibitors may decrease the oral bioavailability of bosutinib and reduce its concentrations in plasma. The solubility of bosutinib decreases rapidly when the pH is above 5, resulting in reduced absorption. In 24 healthy volunteers, administration of a single 400 mg oral dose of bosutinib in combination with multiple oral doses of lansoprazole 60 mg under fasting conditions resulted in a 46% decrease in bosutinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 26% decrease in systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration of bosutinib alone. Since proton pump inhibitors affect pH of the upper gastrointestinal tract for an extended period, separation of doses may not eliminate the interaction.

MANAGEMENT: The concomitant use of bosutinib with proton pump inhibitors should generally be avoided. If acid-suppression therapy is required during bosutinib treatment, an H2-receptor antagonist (e.g., cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine) or antacid may be taken up to 2 hours before or 2 hours after the bosutinib dose.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

bosutinib food

Applies to: bosutinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of bosutinib. When given with a high-fat meal, bosutinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.8- and 1.7-fold, respectively.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice is likely to increase the plasma concentrations of bosutinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, the interaction has not been studied. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.

MANAGEMENT: Bosutinib should be administered with a meal. The consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit extract should be avoided.

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.
