Interactions between your drugs
eliglustat danicopan
Applies to: eliglustat and Voydeya (danicopan)
MONITOR: Coadministration with danicopan may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the efflux transporters breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The proposed mechanism involves decreased clearance due to inhibition of BCRP and P-gp by danicopan. In clinical drug interaction studies, when subjects were coadministered the BCRP substrate rosuvastatin (single 20 mg dose) with danicopan at steady state (200 mg three times daily for 4 days), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of rosuvastatin increased by 3.3-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively. In addition, when the P-gp substrate fexofenadine (single 180 mg dose) was coadministered with danicopan (150 mg three times daily for 4 days), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of fexofenadine increased by 1.4-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively. Similarly, when subjects were coadministered the P-gp substrate tacrolimus (single 2 mg dose) with danicopan (200 mg three times daily for 5 days), the Cmax and AUC of tacrolimus increased by 1.1-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring are recommended if danicopan is coadministered with drugs that are substrates of the transporters BCRP and/or P-gp, particularly sensitive substrates, or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as closer clinical and laboratory monitoring for the development of adverse effects may be appropriate for some drugs whenever danicopan is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Individual product labeling should be consulted for further guidance.

Drug and food interactions
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.
