Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

chloramphenicol rilpivirine

Applies to: Chloracol (chloramphenicol) and Juluca (dolutegravir / rilpivirine)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of rilpivirine, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In 15 study subjects given rilpivirine (150 mg once daily) with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg once daily), mean rilpivirine peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) were increased by 30%, 49% and 76%, respectively. In 16 study subjects given a single 500 mg dose of a less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor chlorzoxazone two hours after rilpivirine (150 mg once daily), mean rilpivirine Cmax, AUC, and Cmin were increased by 17%, 25%, and 18%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring may be advisable if CYP450 3A4 inhibitors are coadministered with rilpivirine.

chloramphenicol dolutegravir

Applies to: Chloracol (chloramphenicol) and Juluca (dolutegravir / rilpivirine)

Theoretically, coadministration with inhibitors of UGT1A or CYP450 3A4 isoenzymes may increase the plasma concentrations of dolutegravir, which is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1 with some contribution from CYP450 3A4. Dolutegravir is also a substrate of UGT1A3, UGT1A9, and P-glycoprotein in vitro. Potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as boceprevir (800 mg every 8 hours) and telaprevir (750 mg every 8 hours) had no significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir given at 50 mg once daily. The interaction has not been studied or reported with UGT1A1 inhibitors such as nilotinib, regorafenib, and sorafenib. However, it is possible that simultaneous inhibition of UGT1A1 and CYP450 3A4 may lead to a clinically significant interaction with dolutegravir. In 12 study subjects, administration of dolutegravir (30 mg once daily) with the dual UGT1A1 and CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, atazanavir (400 mg once daily), increased dolutegravir peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin; 24 hours postdose) by 50%, 91% and 180%, respectively, compared to administration without atazanavir. When the same dosage of dolutegravir was given with atazanavir/ritonavir 300 mg/100 mg once daily, the Cmax, AUC and Cmin of dolutegravir increased by 34%, 62% an 121%, respectively. Because safety data regarding increased dolutegravir exposures are limited, caution may be advisable if dolutegravir is used in combination with both a UGT1A1 inhibitor and a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

rilpivirine food

Applies to: Juluca (dolutegravir / rilpivirine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of rilpivirine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In 15 study subjects given rilpivirine (150 mg once daily) with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg once daily), mean rilpivirine peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) were increased by 30%, 49% and 76%, respectively. In 16 study subjects given a single 500 mg dose of a less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor chlorzoxazone two hours after rilpivirine (150 mg once daily), mean rilpivirine Cmax, AUC, and Cmin were increased by 17%, 25%, and 18%, respectively. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The administration of rilpivirine in a fasting state may decrease its oral absorption. Under fasted conditions, the systemic exposure to rilpivirine was 40% lower compared to normal or high-fat caloric meals (533 to 928 Kcal). The systemic exposure was 50% lower when rilpivirine was taken with a protein-rich nutritional beverage.

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of grapefruit or grapefruit juice with rilpivirine should preferably be avoided. For optimal absorption, it is recommended to take rilpivirine on a regular schedule with a meal.

dolutegravir food

Applies to: Juluca (dolutegravir / rilpivirine)

Food increases the extent of absorption and slows the rate of absorption of dolutegravir. When administered with a low-, moderate- or high-fat meal, dolutegravir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 46%, 52% and 67%, systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 33%, 41% and 66%, and time to reach Cmax (Tmax) increased from 2 hours to 3, 4 and 5 hours, respectively, compared to administration under fasted conditions. Dolutegravir may be taken with or without food.

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.
