Interactions between your drugs

Minor

cannabidiol vibegron

Applies to: cannabidiol and vibegron

Coadministration with moderate or potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations (AUC) of vibegron, which has been shown in vitro to be a substrate of the isoenzyme and transporter. Although CYP450 3A4 is the predominant enzyme in vibegron metabolism, metabolic pathways have only a minor role in the elimination of vibegron. In a phase 3 Japanese study, coadministration of vibegron (100 mg) with moderate (diltiazem) and potent (ketoconazole) inhibitors of CYP450 3A4, resulted in a 1.6- and 2.1-fold increase in vibegron AUC, respectively, which was not considered clinically significant. No dosage adjustment is recommended when vibegron is administered in combination with moderate or potent CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cannabidiol food

Applies to: cannabidiol

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may affect the plasma concentrations of cannabidiol. In healthy volunteers, administration of cannabidiol with a high-fat/high-calorie meal increased cannabidiol peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 5-fold and systemic exposure (AUC) by 4-fold and reduced the total variability compared with administration in the fasted state.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of cannabidiol. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of cannabidiol by certain compounds present in grapefruit. The interaction has not been studied, but the product labeling for cannabidiol recommends consideration of a dosage reduction when used with strong or moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4. 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.

MANAGEMENT: Cannabidiol should be taken about the same time each day consistently either with or without food. Patients should limit the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice. If they are coadministered, cannabidiol levels should be monitored and the dosage adjusted as necessary.

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.
