Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

modafinil enzalutamide

Applies to: modafinil and enzalutamide

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 2C8 and/or 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of enzalutamide, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 2C8 to its pharmacologically active metabolite, N-desmethyl enzalutamide, and to a lesser extent by CYP450 3A4. However, the interaction has not been evaluated in vivo.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of enzalutamide with potent CYP450 2C8 and/or 3A4 inducers such as carbamazepine, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone (partially metabolized to phenobarbital), rifamycins, and St. John's wort should generally be avoided. Moderate inducers such as bosentan, efavirenz, etravirine, modafinil, nafcillin, and nevirapine should also be avoided if possible. The extent to which other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may interact with enzalutamide is unknown. Caution is advised if they are used with enzalutamide.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

modafinil food

Applies to: modafinil

Administration with food may delay the absorption of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer) without significantly affecting their overall bioavailability. According to the product labeling, modafinil's absorption may be delayed by approximately one hour if taken with food. Similarly, the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of armodafinil may be delayed by approximately 2 to 4 hours in the fed state.

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.
