Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nelfinavir enzalutamide

Applies to: emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir and Xtandi (enzalutamide)

MONITOR: Coadministration with drugs that are inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of protease inhibitors (PIs), which are primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels, protease inhibitors should be used cautiously with agents that induce CYP450 3A4, particularly if only one PI is used in the antiretroviral regimen. Coadministration of atazanavir without ritonavir and carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin is not recommended. Antiretroviral response should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the antiretroviral regimen adjusted as necessary.

Moderate

tenofovir enzalutamide

Applies to: emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir and Xtandi (enzalutamide)

MONITOR: Coadministration with enzalutamide may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C9, 2C19, and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter. The proposed mechanism involves accelerated clearance via these routes due to enzalutamide-mediated induction. The resulting plasma concentrations will depend on the sensitivity of the affected drugs to these isoenzymes.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when enzalutamide is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C9, 2C19, and/or P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever enzalutamide is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

tenofovir food

Applies to: emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir

Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.

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.
