Interactions between your drugs

Major

gemfibrozil daprodustat

Applies to: gemfibrozil and daprodustat

CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 2C8 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects associated with daprodustat, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When gemfibrozil (600 mg twice daily for 5 days), a potent CYP450 2C8 inhibitor, was administered with a single daprodustat dose of 100 mg on day 4 of gemfibrozil administration, daprodustat peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 3.9-fold and 18.6-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: The concomitant administration of potent CYP450 2C8 inhibitors with daprodustat is considered to be contraindicated.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

daprodustat food

Applies to: daprodustat

MONITOR: Smoking and alcohol consumption during therapy with daprodustat may increase the risk of gastric or esophageal erosions. Serious erosions, including gastrointestinal bleeding and the need for red blood cell transfusions, have been reported during daprodustat clinical trials. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal erosion, peptic ulcer disease, and current tobacco smokers and alcohol drinkers may be at higher risk of gastrointestinal injury.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if daprodustat is prescribed to current tobacco smokers or alcohol drinkers. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they develop potential signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal injury such as abdominal pain, hematemesis, trouble swallowing, chest or throat pain, and/or black, tarry stools.

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.
