Minor

oxyBUTYnin remdesivir

Applies to: Ditropan (oxybutynin) and remdesivir

Coadministration with remdesivir may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs metabolized via CYP450 3A4, but many sources indicate that clinically significant interactions are unlikely. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4 by remdesivir. Two drug interaction studies were conducted using the sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, midazolam. In the first study, healthy volunteers (n=19) received a single dose of remdesivir (200 mg) and a single dose of midazolam (2.5 mg), which resulted in midazolam's maximum concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increasing by 29% and 20%, respectively. In the second study, healthy volunteers (n=14) received remdesivir (200 mg once, followed by 100 mg daily) for a total of 10 doses and a single dose of midazolam (2.5 mg) administered with the last dose of remdesivir. Midazolam's Cmax and AUC increased by 45% and 30%, respectively. Both studies indicated that remdesivir is a weak in vivo inhibitor of CYP450 3A4; however, some authorities consider these findings to be clinically insignificant.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

oxyBUTYnin food

Applies to: Ditropan (oxybutynin)

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

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.
