Interactions between your drugs

Minor

zafirlukast ensifentrine

Applies to: zafirlukast and ensifentrine

Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2C9 may increase the plasma concentrations of ensifentrine. According to the prescribing information, ensifentrine's primary routes of metabolism are oxidative (hydroxylation and O-demethylation) followed by conjugation. Additionally, in vitro data indicates ensifentrine is predominantly metabolized by CYP450 2C9, and to a lesser extent by CYP450 2D6. When ensifentrine (3 mg single dose) was coadministered with the CYP450 2C9 inhibitor fluconazole (200 mg twice daily) to 28 healthy volunteers, ensifentrine systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.6-fold and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 1.4-fold. The increase in ensifentrine exposure by fluconazole was not considered clinically relevant.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

zafirlukast food

Applies to: zafirlukast

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral absorption and bioavailability of zafirlukast. In two separate studies, one using a high-fat and the other a high-protein meal, administration of zafirlukast with food reduced the mean bioavailability by approximately 40%.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, zafirlukast should be administered at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after 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.
