Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

doxazosin zavegepant

Applies to: doxazosin and zavegepant

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B3 hepatic uptake transporter and/or the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and effects of zavegepant, which is a substrate of these transporters. When single-dose oral zavegepant (100 mg) was administered with the OATP 1B3 and NTCP inhibitor and strong CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifampin, at steady state, zavegepant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 2.2- and 2.3-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of zavegepant with OATP 1B3 and/or NTCP inhibitors should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

doxazosin food

Applies to: doxazosin

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of ethanol and alpha-1 adrenergic blockers may cause increased hypotensive effects. Patients with aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiencies (primarily Asians) may be at a higher risk of this interaction. The mechanism has not been determined. Data exist for prazosin and other alpha adrenergic blockers are expected to interact also. In addition, any patients taking alpha adrenergic blockers may experience excessive orthostatic hypotension with ethanol ingestion, due to ethanol's unopposed vasodilatory effects in the presence of alpha adrenergic blockade.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who develop a flushing reaction after ethanol ingestion (indicates a possible aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency) should be advised to avoid ethanol or limit their intake. All patients should be warned about the possibility of orthostatic hypotension with concurrent ethanol use.

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.
