Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

simeprevir daclatasvir

Applies to: Olysio (simeprevir) and daclatasvir

MONITOR: Coadministration with simeprevir may increase the plasma concentrations of daclatasvir. The proposed mechanism of interaction is simeprevir inhibition of the intestinal and/or renal efflux of daclatasvir via P-glycoprotein. When daclatasvir 60 mg once daily was administered with simeprevir 150 mg once daily, daclatasvir peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) increased by 50%, 96% and 168%, respectively. Simeprevir Cmax, AUC and Cmin also increased by 39%, 44% and 49%, respectively, due to inhibition of OATP1B1-mediated hepatic uptake by daclatasvir.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when daclatasvir is used with simeprevir. Patients should be monitored for adverse effects such as headache, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and serum lipase elevations.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

simeprevir food

Applies to: Olysio (simeprevir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of simeprevir, although the type of food does not seem to matter. In healthy study subjects, administration of simeprevir after a high-fat, high-caloric (928 kcal) breakfast increased systemic exposure (AUC) by 61% and delayed absorption by 1 hour, while administration after a normal caloric (533 kcal) breakfast increased AUC by 69% and delayed absorption by 1.5 hours.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, simeprevir should be administered with 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.
