Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

cinacalcet enzalutamide

Applies to: Sensipar (cinacalcet) and 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as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever enzalutamide is added to or withdrawn from therapy.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

Moderate

cinacalcet food

Applies to: Sensipar (cinacalcet)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of cinacalcet. According to the product labeling for cinacalcet, administration with a high-fat meal increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of cinacalcet by 82% and 68%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. The Cmax and AUC were increased 65% and 50%, respectively, when cinacalcet was administered with a low-fat meal compared to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, cinacalcet should be administered with or immediately after a meal. The tablets should be taken whole and not divided or crushed.

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.
