Drug Interactions between cefpodoxime and Myrbetriq

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of cefpodoxime proxetil tablets. Following a 200 mg dose taken with food, the extent of absorption (mean AUC) was 21% to 33% higher and the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) 19% higher than under fasting conditions. Time to peak concentration (Tmax) was not significantly different between fed and fasted states. On the contrary, when a 200 mg dose of the suspension was taken with food, the mean AUC and Cmax were not significantly different than those under fasting conditions, although the rate of absorption was slower with food (48% increase in Tmax ).

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, cefpodoxime proxetil tablets should be administered with or immediately after a meal.

Food reduces the oral absorption and bioavailability of mirabegron. According to the product labeling, administration of a 50 mg tablet with a high-fat meal decreased mirabegron peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 45% and 17%, respectively, whereas administration with a low-fat meal decreased mirabegron Cmax and AUC by 75% and 51%, respectively. In phase 3 clinical studies demonstrating both safety and efficacy, mirabegron was administered without regards to food content and intake. Therefore, mirabegron can be taken with or without food at the recommended dosage.
