Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

cabozantinib faricimab ophthalmic

Applies to: cabozantinib and faricimab ophthalmic

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of ophthalmic faricimab with other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and/or other therapies (e.g., photodynamic therapy) for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DMO), and/or visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in the same eye has not been evaluated.

MANAGEMENT: According to some authorities, concomitant use of ophthalmic faricimab with other anti-VEGF products, systemic or ocular, and/or other therapies (e.g., photodynamic therapies) in the same eye should generally be avoided. Clinical data characterizing the extent of this interaction are not available. Consultation with package labeling and relevant institutional protocols may be advisable for further guidance.

Drug and food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate

cabozantinib food/lifestyle

Applies to: cabozantinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may alter the oral bioavailability of cabozantinib. When healthy subjects were given a single 140 mg oral dose with a high-fat meal, cabozantinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 41% and 57%, respectively, relative to administration under fasting conditions. In clinical studies, patients were administered cabozantinib without food.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice is likely to increase the plasma concentrations of cabozantinib, 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: Cabozantinib should be administered at least one hour before or two hours after 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.
