Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

dofetilide trospium

Applies to: dofetilide and trospium

MONITOR: The major pathway for elimination of dofetilide is through glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion using the cation transport system. Competition for this elimination pathway by other drugs may potentially result in increased levels of dofetilide and increase the risk of QT interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias. The clinician should be aware of the potential for an interaction when dofetilide is used in combination with another medication that is excreted via this pathway.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends that the patient be closely monitored if these drugs are coadministered.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

trospium food

Applies to: trospium

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral absorption and bioavailability of trospium chloride. According to the product labeling, administration of trospium chloride with a high fat meal reduced the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 70% to 80% compared to administration while fasting.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, trospium chloride should be administered at least 1 hour before meals or on an empty stomach. If trospium chloride is administered as a combination with xanomeline, the manufacturer recommends administering the capsules at least 1 hour before a meal or at least 2 hours after a meal. Capsules should be taken whole.

dofetilide food

Applies to: dofetilide

In vitro data suggest that grapefruit juice may inhibit the CYP450 3A4 first-pass metabolism of dofetilide. Decreased first-pass metabolism may increase dofetilide concentrations and increase the risk of QT interval prolongation and arrhythmias. The clinical significance is unknown, since dofetilide has a high oral bioavailability and a low affinity for CYP450 3A4. The manufacturer recommends caution.

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.
