Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

taurursodiol capivasertib

Applies to: sodium phenylbutyrate / taurursodiol and capivasertib

Taurursodiol may reduce the blood levels of capivasertib, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Major food/lifestyle interactions

Major:

capivasertib Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: capivasertib

Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit should be avoided during treatment with capivasertib as they may increase the blood levels of capivasertib. This may increase the risk of side effects such as high blood sugar levels, diarrhea, skin reactions, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and changes in certain blood tests. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

sodium phenylbutyrate Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: sodium phenylbutyrate / taurursodiol

Food may affect the absorption of sodium phenylbutyrate. A high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 500 to 600 calories from fat, 250 calories from carbohydrate, 150 calories from protein) has been shown to reduce the absorption of sodium phenylbutyrate, although it is unknown what impact this may have on the overall effectiveness of the medication. The manufacturer recommends taking sodium phenylbutyrate before a meal or snack. This is especially important if you weigh less than 70 kg (approximately 154 pounds). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.

Disease interactions

17 potential interactions Applies to: 14 conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Failure, Peripheral Neuropathy, Diabetes, Type 1, and Diabetes Mellitus.

Biliary Obstruction

Moderate:

sodium phenylbutyrate / taurursodiol

The taurursodiol in sodium phenylbutyrate / taurursodiol has a moderate potential interaction with Biliary Obstruction.

Sodium phenylbutyrate-taurursodiol contains taurursodiol, a bile acid. In patients with disorders that interfere with bile acid circulation, there may be an increased risk for diarrhea and patients should be monitored appropriately. Other conditions such as pancreatic insufficiency, intestinal malabsorption, or intestinal diseases that may alter the concentration of bile acids, may also lead to decreased absorption of this drug and its components. Consider consulting with a GI specialists with experience managing these GI disorders. Patients with disorders of enterohepatic circulation (e.g., biliary infection, active cholecystitis, etc.), severe pancreatic disorders (e.g., pancreatitis), and intestinal disorders that may alter concentrations of bile acids (e.g., ileal resection, regional ileitis, etc.) were excluded from clinical studies and there is no experience in patients with these conditions. Caution is advised.

Central Nervous System Disorders

Moderate:

sodium phenylbutyrate / taurursodiol

The sodium phenylbutyrate in sodium phenylbutyrate / taurursodiol has a moderate potential interaction with Central Nervous System Disorders.

Sodium phenylbutyrate is a pro-drug and is rapidly metabolized to the active, phenylacetate. Neurotoxicity, including exacerbation of a preexisting neuropathy, has been reported with the use of intravenous phenylacetate. The acute onset and reversibility when the phenylacetate infusion was discontinued suggested a drug effect. Care should be exercised when prescribing sodium phenylbutyrate to patients at risk for neurotoxicity.

Diabetes, Type 1

Moderate:

capivasertib

Capivasertib has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes, Type 1.

Severe hyperglycemia, including diabetic ketoacidosis and fatal outcomes, has occurred in patients treated with capivasertib. The safety of capivasertib in patients with Type 1 diabetes or with diabetes requiring insulin has not been established; these patients were excluded from clinical studies. Fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1C should be evaluated and optimized before starting treatment. Regular monitoring of fasting blood glucose as recommended by the manufacturer should be performed during treatment with capivasertib. Consider consultation with a specialist in the treatment of hyperglycemia and initiation of fasting glucose monitoring at home for patients who have risk factors for or who experience hyperglycemia. If hyperglycemia occurs during treatment, the dose of capivasertib may need to be withheld or reduced, or treatment permanently discontinued based on severity or if ketoacidosis is confirmed.
