- digoxin
- Voydeya (danicopan)
Interactions between your drugs
digoxin danicopan
Applies to: digoxin and Voydeya (danicopan)
MONITOR: Coadministration with danicopan may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the efflux transporters breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The proposed mechanism involves decreased clearance due to inhibition of BCRP and P-gp by danicopan. In clinical drug interaction studies, when subjects were coadministered the BCRP substrate rosuvastatin (single 20 mg dose) with danicopan at steady state (200 mg three times daily for 4 days), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of rosuvastatin increased by 3.3-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively. In addition, when the P-gp substrate fexofenadine (single 180 mg dose) was coadministered with danicopan (150 mg three times daily for 4 days), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of fexofenadine increased by 1.4-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively. Similarly, when subjects were coadministered the P-gp substrate tacrolimus (single 2 mg dose) with danicopan (200 mg three times daily for 5 days), the Cmax and AUC of tacrolimus increased by 1.1-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring are recommended if danicopan is coadministered with drugs that are substrates of the transporters BCRP and/or P-gp, particularly sensitive substrates, or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as closer clinical and laboratory monitoring for the development of adverse effects may be appropriate for some drugs whenever danicopan is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Individual product labeling should be consulted for further guidance.

Drug and food interactions
digoxin food
Applies to: digoxin
Administration of digoxin with a high-fiber meal has been shown to decrease its bioavailability by almost 20%. Fiber can sequester up to 45% of the drug when given orally. Patients should be advised to maintain a regular diet without significant fluctuation in fiber intake while digoxin is being titrated.
Grapefruit juice may modestly increase the plasma concentrations of digoxin. The mechanism is increased absorption of digoxin due to mild inhibition of intestinal P-glycoprotein by certain compounds present in grapefruits. In 12 healthy volunteers, administration of grapefruit juice with and 30 minutes before, as well as 3.5, 7.5, and 11.5 hours after a single digoxin dose (0.5 mg) increased the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of digoxin by just 9% compared to administration with water. Moreover, P-glycoprotein genetic polymorphism does not appear to influence the magnitude of the effects of grapefruit juice on digoxin. Thus, the interaction is unlikely to be of clinical significance.
