Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

tamsulosin sotorasib

Applies to: dutasteride / tamsulosin and sotorasib

MONITOR: Coadministration with sotorasib may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is increased metabolic clearance due to induction of CYP450 3A4 by sotorasib. When midazolam, a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, was coadministered with sotorasib, midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 48% and 53%, respectively. These results suggest moderate induction of CYP450 3A4 by sotorasib.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when sotorasib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. The prescribing information recommends avoiding coadministration of sotorasib with CYP450 3A4 substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure. If coadministration is required, dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever sotorasib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration of a moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer like sotorasib and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tamsulosin food

Applies to: dutasteride / tamsulosin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may delay the gastrointestinal absorption of tamsulosin. The time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) is reached by 4 to 5 hours under fasted conditions and by 6 to 7 hours when tamsulosin is administered with food. The delay in Tmax has the desirable effect of smoothing the tamsulosin plasma concentration profile, thereby reducing fluctuation of the plasma peak and trough concentrations with multiple dosing. Food may also affect the extent of absorption of tamsulosin. It has been reported that taking tamsulosin under fasted conditions results in a 30% increase in bioavailability (AUC) and 40% to 70% increase in peak plasma concentration (Cmax) compared to fed conditions. The effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of tamsulosin are consistent regardless of whether tamsulosin is taken with a light meal or a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure uniformity of absorption, tamsulosin should be administered approximately one-half hour following the same meal each day.

sotorasib food

Applies to: sotorasib

Food does not appear to have a clinically significant effect on the oral bioavailability of sotorasib. When a 960 mg dose of sotorasib was administered to study patients with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively), sotorasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change while systemic exposure (AUC 0-24 hours) increased by 25% compared to administration under fasted conditions. Sotorasib can be administered with or without food at approximately the same time each day.

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.
