Interactions between your drugs

Major

ceftobiprole brincidofovir

Applies to: ceftobiprole medocaril and brincidofovir

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of the hepatic influx transporters organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and 1B3 may increase the plasma concentrations and adverse effects of brincidofovir. In clinical studies, coadministration with a single 600 mg oral dose of the OATP1B1 and 1B3 inhibitor cyclosporine increased the mean systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of brincidofovir by 374% and 269%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer advises that, where possible, coadministration of brincidofovir with OATP1B1 or 1B3 inhibitors should be avoided and alternative medicines considered. However, if concomitant use is necessary, administration of the OATP1B1 or 1B3 inhibitor should be postponed by at least 3 hours after the administration of brincidofovir. Patients should also be closely monitored for brincidofovir-related adverse reactions such as elevations in hepatic transaminases and bilirubin, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

If necessary, you may take the oral tablets (but not the suspension formulation) with a low-fat meal. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
