Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of ubrogepant based on in vivo and in vitro data. The proposed mechanism involves enhanced oral bioavailability as well as reduced clearance of ubrogepant due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism and BCRP/P-gp-mediated efflux in the intestine and liver. When ubrogepant was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole during in vivo studies, ubrogepant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 5.3- and 9.7-fold, respectively. When administered with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor verapamil, ubrogepant Cmax and AUC increased by 2.8- and 3.5-fold, respectively. Dedicated drug interaction studies have not been conducted to assess concomitant use of ubrogepant with weak CYP450 3A4 inhibitors and inhibitors of BCRP or P-gp transporters. Ubrogepant exposure is not expected to increase by more than 2-fold when used with weak CYP450 3A4 inhibitors per a conservative prediction from the manufacturer.

MANAGEMENT: The recommended dose of ubrogepant is 50 mg during concomitant treatment with weak CYP450 3A4 inhibitors and/or inhibitors of BCRP or P-gp. If needed, a second 50 mg ubrogepant dose may be administered at least 2 hours after the initial dose.

Drug and food interactions

Applies to: canagliflozin

Alcohol may affect blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur, depending on how much and how often you drink. You should avoid using alcohol if your diabetes is not well controlled or if you have high triglycerides, neuropathy (nerve damage), or pancreatitis. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels if your diabetes is under control. However, it may be best to limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with your normal meal plan. Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or following exercise, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. 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.

ubrogepant food

Applies to: ubrogepant

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of ubrogepant. This may increase side effects such as nausea and sleepiness. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe an alternative that does not interact, or you may need a different dose to safely use your medication with grapefruit and grapefruit juice. 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.

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.
