Can you take Enzalutamide with Repaglinide?

Repaglinide has a major potential interaction with Adrenal Insufficiency.

The use of insulin is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including but not limited to those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with renal or hepatic impairment, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those with reduced awareness of hypoglycemia. Symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia may be reduced in patients with longstanding diabetes, diabetic nerve disease, recurrent hypoglycemia, or concomitant medications that block the sympathetic nervous system (e.g., beta-blockers). Changes to any glucose-lowering medications, meal pattern, or physical activity may also increase risk of hypoglycemia. Increased frequency of glucose monitoring is recommended in patients at higher risk for hypoglycemia.

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Brain Tumor.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.

Repaglinide has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

The use of oral hypoglycemic agents may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality compared to treatment with diet alone or diet with insulin. This warning is based on the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP) study, a long-term prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Patients treated with diet plus a fixed dosage of either tolbutamide (a sulfonylurea) or phenformin (a biguanide) for 5 to 8 years had a cardiovascular mortality rate approximately 2.5 times that of patients treated with diet alone, resulting in discontinuation of both these treatments in the study. Despite controversy regarding interpretation of these results, clinicians and patients should be aware of the potential risk when making treatment decisions for diabetes, particularly in the presence of underlying cardiovascular disease. Data are not available for other sulfonylureas or biguanides, nor for hypoglycemic agents belonging to other classes. However, given the similarities in chemical structure and/or mode of action, the same caution should be applied.

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with CNS Infection.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months.

The use of meglitinides is contraindicated in patients with type I diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma.

Repaglinide has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Patients with severely reduced renal function treated with repaglinide had elevated plasma drug concentrations. Patients with type 2 diabetes who have severe renal function impairment should initiate repaglinide therapy with the 0.5 mg dose and subsequently, patients should be carefully titrated.

Repaglinide has a major potential interaction with Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

The use of meglitinides is contraindicated in patients with type I diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.

Increased frequency of glucose monitoring is recommended in patients at higher risk for hypoglycemia.

Repaglinide has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Repaglinide is almost completely metabolized in the liver to pharmacologically inactive substances. Patients with impaired liver function may be exposed to higher concentrations of repaglinide and its associated metabolites. Higher serum drug levels, in addition to diminished gluconeogenic capacity secondary to hepatic insufficiency, may increase the potential for severe hypoglycemic episodes. Therapy with repaglinide should be administered cautiously in patients with liver disease. Longer intervals between dosage adjustments may be required.

Symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia may be reduced in patients with longstanding diabetes, diabetic nerve disease, recurrent hypoglycemia, or concomitant medications that block the sympathetic nervous system (e.g., beta-blockers). Changes to any glucose-lowering medications, meal pattern, or physical activity may also increase risk of hypoglycemia.
