Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

eliglustat sofpironium topical

Applies to: eliglustat and Sofdra (sofpironium topical)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 may increase the plasma concentrations of topical sofpironium, which has been shown to be partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a pharmacokinetic study in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sofpironium systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased approximately 2-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitor paroxetine at a 20 mg oral dose. Clinical data for sofpironium use in combination with other less potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitors are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when sofpironium topical is used concurrently with CYP450 2D6 inhibitors. Patients should be more closely monitored for adverse effects such as blurred vision, urinary retention, difficulty controlling body temperature in warm environments, and dry mouth.

Drug and food interactions

Major

eliglustat food

Applies to: eliglustat

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the systemic exposure to eliglustat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because eliglustat is predicted to cause prolongation of the PR, QTc, and QRS cardiac intervals at substantially elevated plasma concentrations, consumption of grapefruit juice during treatment may increase the risk of bradycardia, atrioventricular block, cardiac arrest, and serious ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with eliglustat should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice.

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.
