Interactions between your drugs
perindopril clofarabine
Applies to: perindopril and Clolar (clofarabine)
GENERALLY AVOID: The liver is a known target organ for clofarabine toxicity, and concomitant use of other potentially hepatotoxic agents may increase the risk of liver injury. Severe and fatal hepatotoxicity has occurred with the use of clofarabine alone. In clinical studies, grade 3 to 4 liver enzyme elevations were frequently observed in pediatric patients during treatment, with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations reported in 36% and 44% of patients, respectively. Liver enzyme elevations typically occurred within 10 days of clofarabine administration and returned to grade 2 or lower within 15 days. Grade 3 or 4 bilirubin elevations occurred in 13% of patients, with 2 cases reported as grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia (2%), one of which resulted in treatment discontinuation and the other in multi-organ failure and death. Eight patients (7%) had grade 3 or 4 elevations in serum bilirubin at the last time point measured, all of whom died due to sepsis and/or multi-organ failure.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of clofarabine with other potentially hepatotoxic agents should be avoided whenever possible (e.g., acetaminophen; alcohol; androgens and anabolic steroids; antituberculous agents; azole antifungal agents; ACE inhibitors; disulfiram; endothelin receptor antagonists; interferons; ketolide and macrolide antibiotics; kinase inhibitors; minocycline; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents; nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors; proteasome inhibitors; retinoids; sulfonamides; tamoxifen; thiazolidinediones; tolvaptan; vincristine; zileuton; anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, hydantoins, felbamate, and valproic acid; lipid-lowering medications such as fenofibrate, lomitapide, mipomersen, niacin, and statins; herbals and nutritional supplements such as black cohosh, chaparral, comfrey, DHEA, kava, pennyroyal oil, and red yeast rice). Hepatic function should be monitored during clofarabine administration, and therapy discontinued if grade 3 to 4 liver enzyme or bilirubin elevations occur. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience potential signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity such as fever, rash, itching, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, malaise, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, pale stools, and jaundice.

Drug and food interactions
perindopril food
Applies to: perindopril
GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium can cause hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. In some cases, affected patients were using a potassium-rich salt substitute. ACE inhibitors can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin (RAA) system.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food decreased the biotransformation of perindopril to its active metabolite, perindoprilat, resulting in a decrease of perindoprilat bioavailability by 35% and a reduction in the plasma ACE inhibition curve of approximately 20%. When administered as part of a combination product with amlodipine and taken with food, perindopril and perindoprilat absorption rates have decreased by 18% and 14%, respectively, versus fasting. No effect of food on the extent of unmetabolized perindopril absorption has been observed.
MANAGEMENT: It is recommended that patients who are taking ACE inhibitors be advised to avoid moderately high or high potassium dietary intake. Particular attention should be paid to the potassium content of salt substitutes. Some authorities recommend administering perindopril before a meal, preferably in the morning. According to the prescribing information, the combination product containing perindopril and amlodipine may be taken with or without food.
