Interactions between your drugs

Minor

dexAMETHasone fostemsavir

Applies to: bupivacaine / dexamethasone / epinephrine and fostemsavir

Coadministration of fostemsavir with moderate or weak CYP450 3A4 inducers may decrease the plasma concentrations of temsavir, the active moiety of fostemsavir. According to the prescribing information, temsavir is a substrate of CYP450 3A4, esterases, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). When fostemsavir (600 mg twice daily) was coadministered with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer etravirine (200 mg twice daily) in 14 study subjects, mean temsavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Ctau) decreased by 48%, 50% and 52%, respectively, compared to fostemsavir administered alone. When the same dosage of fostemsavir was given to 22 study subjects with another moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifabutin (300 mg once daily), mean temsavir Cmax, AUC and Ctau decreased by 27%, 30% and 41%, respectively. These changes are not considered clinically relevant, and no dosage adjustment of fostemsavir is recommended when coadministered with moderate or weak CYP450 3A4 inducers.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

EPINEPHrine food

Applies to: bupivacaine / dexamethasone / epinephrine

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.

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.
