Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

dextromethorphan glofitamab

Applies to: Entre-Cough (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine) and glofitamab
Monitor

Coadministration with glofitamab may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes. Initiation of glofitamab treatment causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 isoenzymes. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model predicted that increases in exposures to substrates of CYP450 3A4, 1A2, and 2C9 might be less than or equal to 2-fold. According to the manufacturers of glofitamab, the highest risk for drug interactions with concomitant CYP450 substrates occurs one week following each of the first two doses of glofitamab (i.e., cycle 1 day 8 and 15), up to 14 days after the first 30 mg dose on day 1 of cycle 2, and during or after cytokine release syndrome.

Management

Caution is advised when glofitamab is administered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 isoenzymes, particularly sensitive CYP450 substrates and/or those with a narrow therapeutic range, where minimal changes to concentration may lead to significant adverse reactions, such as carbamazepine, colchicine, cyclosporine, disopyramide, phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, warfarin, macrolide immunosuppressants, vinca alkaloids, and some narcotic analgesics. Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring are recommended, particularly at the initial phase of treatment with glofitamab as well as during or after cytokine release syndrome, and individual product labeling for the CYP450 substrate(s) should be consulted for specific dosage adjustment recommendations.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

dextromethorphan Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: Entre-Cough (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine)
Generally avoid

Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

Management

Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Moderate:

pseudoephedrine Caffeine

Applies to: Entre-Cough (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / pseudoephedrine)
Monitor

Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic or noradrenergic agents may increase the risk of nervousness, irritability, tachycardia, and/or increased blood pressure. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic and/or noradrenergic agents, including norepinephrine transporter inhibitors. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

Management

Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic or noradrenergic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored. Consultation with individual product labeling, as well as relevant institutional protocols, may be advisable for further guidance.

Disease interactions

11 potential interactions Applies to: 11 conditions, including Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Hyperthyroidism, Diabetes Mellitus, Infection, and Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Moderate:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a moderate potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Major:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients. In cardiac tissues, these agents may produce positive chronotropic and inotropic effects via stimulation of beta- 1 adrenergic receptors. Cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and the work of the heart may be increased. In the peripheral vasculature, vasoconstriction may occur via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension, reflex bradycardia, coronary occlusion, cerebral vasculitis, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and death have been reported. Some of these agents, particularly ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine, ma huang, phenylpropanolamine), may also predispose patients to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should generally be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

Cerebrovascular Insufficiency

Major:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a major potential interaction with Cerebrovascular Insufficiency.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients. In cardiac tissues, these agents may produce positive chronotropic and inotropic effects via stimulation of beta- 1 adrenergic receptors. Cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and the work of the heart may be increased. In the peripheral vasculature, vasoconstriction may occur via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension, reflex bradycardia, coronary occlusion, cerebral vasculitis, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and death have been reported. Some of these agents, particularly ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine, ma huang, phenylpropanolamine), may also predispose patients to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should generally be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

Diabetes Mellitus

Moderate:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause increases in blood glucose concentrations. These effects are usually transient and slight but may be significant with dosages higher than those normally recommended. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate.

Gastrointestinal Obstruction

Moderate:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.

The extended-release formulation of pseudoephedrine (Sudafed 24 Hour) contains a non-deformable material. There have been rare reports of obstructive symptoms in patients with known strictures following the ingestion of similar sustained-release products. Therapy with the extended-release formulation of pseudoephedrine should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting severe gastrointestinal narrowing or obstruction, whether pathologic or iatrogenic.

Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension

Moderate:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

Sympathomimetic agents can induce transient mydriasis via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. In patients with anatomically narrow angles or narrow-angle glaucoma, pupillary dilation can provoke an acute attack. In patients with other forms of glaucoma, mydriasis may occasionally increase intraocular pressure. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma.

Hyperthyroidism

Major:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a major potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients. In cardiac tissues, these agents may produce positive chronotropic and inotropic effects via stimulation of beta- 1 adrenergic receptors. Cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and the work of the heart may be increased. In the peripheral vasculature, vasoconstriction may occur via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension, reflex bradycardia, coronary occlusion, cerebral vasculitis, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and death have been reported. Some of these agents, particularly ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine, ma huang, phenylpropanolamine), may also predispose patients to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should generally be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

Infection

Moderate:

glofitamab

Glofitamab has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

Glofitamab can cause serious and fatal infections. Patients should be evaluated for active infection before and during treatment with Glofitamab and administration should be avoided if infection is detected.

Phenylketonuria

Moderate:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a moderate potential interaction with Phenylketonuria.

Chewable products frequently may contain aspartame, which is metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract to phenylalanine. Sudafed (brand of pseudoephedrine) chewable 15 mg tablets provide the equivalent of 0.78 mg of phenylalanine per each tablet. The aspartame/phenylalanine content should be considered when this and similar products are used in patients who must restrict their intake of phenylalanine (i.e. phenylketonurics).

Pheochromocytoma

Major:

Entre-Cough

The pseudoephedrine in Entre-Cough has a major potential interaction with Pheochromocytoma.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients.
