- glofitamab
Interactions between your drugs
eplerenone glofitamab
Applies to: eplerenone 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, although the potential for an interaction has not been studied. According to the manufacturer, the highest drug-drug interaction risk would be from the first dose on day 8 of cycle 1, up to 14 days after the first 30 mg dose on day 1 of cycle 2, as well as during and 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 and after cytokine release syndrome, and individual product labeling for the CYP450 substrate(s) should be consulted for specific dosage adjustment recommendations.

Drug and food interactions
eplerenone food
Applies to: eplerenone
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of eplerenone. The primary mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. In drug interaction studies, administration of a single 100 mg dose of eplerenone in combination with grapefruit juice resulted in a 25% increase in eplerenone systemic exposure (AUC). High blood levels of eplerenone can increase the risk of side effects including hyperkalemia. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition.
MANAGEMENT: It may be advisable for patients to avoid the consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or supplements that contain grapefruit during treatment with eplerenone.
