Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

bromfenac macimorelin

Applies to: bromfenac and macimorelin

GENERALLY AVOID: Drugs that directly affect the pituitary secretion of growth hormone (e.g., somatostatin, insulin, glucocorticoids, cyclooxygenase inhibitors such as aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and drugs that may transiently elevate growth hormone levels (e.g., clonidine, levodopa, insulin) may impact the accuracy of the macimorelin diagnostic test.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of macimorelin with drugs affecting growth hormone levels should generally be avoided. A sufficient washout period following discontinuation of these drugs is recommended prior to macimorelin administration.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

bromfenac food

Applies to: bromfenac

ADJUST DOSE: In-vivo studies have demonstrated that the absorption of bromfenac is greatly reduced if the drug is taken within three and one-half hours following a high fat meal. The concomitant administration of a high fat meal has led to a 75% reduction in peak plasma concentrations and a 60% reduction in total area under the curve. The mechanism has not been described.

MANAGEMENT: An increased dosage of bromfenac (from 25 to 50 mg) may be needed if a high fat meal is consumed. The clinician may want to warn the patient about subtherapeutic analgesic effects if high fat meals are regularly consumed.

Moderate

macimorelin food

Applies to: macimorelin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the oral bioavailability of macimorelin. According to the product labeling, administration with a liquid meal decreased macimorelin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 55% and 49%, respectively, compared to administration under fasting conditions (i.e., for at least 8 hours).

MANAGEMENT: Macimorelin should be administered after fasting for at least 8 hours.

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.
