Interactions between your drugs

Major

boceprevir elagolix

Applies to: Victrelis (boceprevir) and elagolix

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of elagolix, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. In 11 study subjects, administration of a single 150 mg dose of elagolix with 400 mg once daily dosing of ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased elagolix peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 77% and 120%, respectively, compared to elagolix administered alone. Increased exposure to elagolix may increase the risk of serious adverse effects such as bone loss, suicidal ideation and behavior, exacerbation of mood disorders, and hepatic transaminase elevations.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of elagolix 200 mg twice daily with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors for more than 1 month, or elagolix 150 mg once daily with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors for more than 6 months, is not recommended.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

boceprevir food

Applies to: Victrelis (boceprevir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of boceprevir. When given at 800 mg three times daily with food, boceprevir exposure increased by up to 65% relative to administration in the fasting state. The bioavailability of boceprevir was similar regardless of meal type (e.g., high-fat versus low-fat) or whether taken 5 minutes prior to eating, during a meal, or immediately following completion of the meal. Therefore, boceprevir may be taken without regard to either meal type or timing of the meal.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, boceprevir should be administered with a meal or light snack.

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.
