Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

famotidine nilotinib

Applies to: Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide) and nilotinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration of H2 antagonists may significantly decrease the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism is decreased solubility of nilotinib due to increased gastric pH. Nilotinib's solubility is pH dependent and it is insoluble at a pH of 4.5 or higher. In healthy subjects, no significant change in nilotinib pharmacokinetics occurred when a single dose of nilotinib was administered 10 hours after and 2 hours before famotidine.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use, it is recommended to administer the H2 antagonist 10 hours before and 2 hours after the dose of nilotinib.

Moderate

calcium carbonate nilotinib

Applies to: Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide) and nilotinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Antacids significantly decrease the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism is decreased solubility of nilotinib due to antacid-induced gastric pH increases. Nilotinib's solubility is pH-dependent and it is insoluble at a pH of 4.5 or higher.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nilotinib should not take antacids or other agents with acid-neutralizing effects for at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after a nilotinib dose.

famotidine calcium carbonate

Applies to: Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide) and Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)

Antacids and some aluminum, calcium, and magnesium salts may decrease the plasma concentrations of H2-receptor antagonists during oral coadministration. The mechanism of interaction is unknown, but may involve reduced oral absorption due to increased gastric pH. Study data vary, with no changes to nearly 60% reductions in systemic exposures (AUCs) reported for cimetidine, famotidine, and ranitidine. The clinical significance has not been established. As a precaution, patients may consider taking H2-receptor antagonists one to two hours before antacids.

Drug and food interactions

Major

nilotinib food

Applies to: nilotinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of nilotinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. Compared to the fast state, nilotinib systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 82% when the dose was given 30 minutes after a high-fat meal. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nilotinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. In addition, no food should be consumed for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after a nilotinib dose.

Moderate

calcium carbonate food

Applies to: Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the absorption of calcium. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption.

MANAGEMENT: Calcium may be administered with food to increase absorption. Consider withholding calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid.

Minor

famotidine food

Applies to: Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)

H2 antagonists may reduce the clearance of nicotine. Cimetidine, 600 mg given twice a day for two days, reduced clearance of an intravenous nicotine dose by 30%. Ranitidine, 300 mg given twice a day for two days, reduced clearance by 10%. The clinical significance of this interaction is not known. Patients should be monitored for increased nicotine effects when using the patches or gum for smoking cessation and dosage adjustments should be made as appropriate.

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.
