Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

cevimeline cinacalcet

Applies to: Evoxac (cevimeline) and cinacalcet

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 and/or 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of cevimeline, which is metabolized by these isoenzymes.

MANAGEMENT: Dosage adjustments and clinical monitoring may be appropriate whenever a CYP450 2D6 and/or 3A4 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience excessive adverse cholinergic effects of cevimeline such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, salivation, urinary frequency, visual disturbance, confusion, tremor, palpitations, or irregular heartbeat.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cinacalcet food

Applies to: cinacalcet

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of cinacalcet. According to the product labeling for cinacalcet, administration with a high-fat meal increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of cinacalcet by 82% and 68%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. The Cmax and AUC were increased 65% and 50%, respectively, when cinacalcet was administered with a low-fat meal compared to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, cinacalcet should be administered with or immediately after a meal. The tablets should be taken whole and not divided or crushed.

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.
