Interactions between your drugs

Minor

cabozantinib naloxegol

Applies to: cabozantinib and Movantik (naloxegol)

Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or weak inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of naloxegol, which is a substrate of both the efflux transporter and the isoenzyme. When a single 25 mg dose of naloxegol was administered with a single 600 mg dose of quinidine, a potent P-gp inhibitor and weak CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, naloxegol peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 147% and 39%, respectively. These changes are not considered clinically significant; therefore, no dosage adjustments are necessary.

Drug and food interactions

Major

naloxegol food

Applies to: Movantik (naloxegol)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of naloxegol. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In pharmacokinetic studies, naloxegol systemic exposure (AUC) was increased approximately 3.5-fold by the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor diltiazem and nearly 13-fold by the potent inhibitor ketoconazole. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased exposure to naloxegol may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms such as hyperhidrosis, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, chills, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, and yawning.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may increase the rate and extent of naloxegol absorption. When administered with a high-fat meal, naloxegol peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 30% and 45%, respectively. In clinical trials, naloxegol was given on an empty stomach approximately 1 hour prior to the first meal in the morning.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with naloxegol should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice. Naloxegol should be taken on an empty stomach at least 1 hour prior to the first meal of the day or 2 hours after the meal.

Moderate

cabozantinib food

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.
