Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

SORAfenib cholic acid

Applies to: sorafenib and cholic acid

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of the bile salt efflux pump (BSEP) may exacerbate accumulation of conjugated bile salts in the liver and lead to clinical symptoms in patients treated with cholic acid.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of cholic acid with drugs that inhibit canalicular membrane bile acid transporters such as the BSEP should generally be avoided. If coadministration is required, close monitoring of serum transaminases and bilirubin is recommended. In addition, serum and urine bile acid levels should be monitored, and the cholic acid dose adjusted accordingly.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

SORAfenib food

Applies to: sorafenib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral absorption and bioavailability of sorafenib. According to the product labeling, sorafenib bioavailability was reduced by 29% when administered with a high-fat meal compared to administration in the fasted state. When given with a moderate-fat meal, bioavailability was similar to that in the fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal and consistent oral absorption, sorafenib should be taken at least one hour before or two hours after eating.
