Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

famotidine pretomanid

Applies to: famotidine / ibuprofen and pretomanid

MONITOR: Coadministration with pretomanid may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3). The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to pretomanid-mediated inhibition of OAT3. No clinical interaction studies have been conducted in humans with OAT3 substrates.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if pretomanid is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of OAT3, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring of the OAT3 substrate drug should be considered whenever pretomanid is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

Applies to: famotidine / ibuprofen and famotidine / ibuprofen

H2 antagonists may alter the pharmacokinetic disposition of some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), resulting in increased or decreased plasma concentrations. Data have been varied, even for the same NSAID. The mechanism may involve inhibition of metabolism, changes in gastric pH resulting in altered absorption, and/or reduced urinary elimination of the affected NSAIDs. Statistically significant changes have been small and of limited clinical significance when interactions have been observed.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

pretomanid food

Applies to: pretomanid

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with alcohol may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of combination drug regimens that include pretomanid.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of pretomanid. The mechanism has not been reported. Compared with the fasted state, oral administration of pretomanid with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively) increased mean systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of pretomanid by 88% and 76%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid alcohol use during treatment with pretomanid. In addition, to ensure maximal oral absorption, pretomanid should be administered with food. Tablets should be swallowed whole.

Moderate

ibuprofen food

Applies to: famotidine / ibuprofen

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

famotidine food

Applies to: famotidine / ibuprofen

H2 antagonists may reduce the clearance of nicotine. Cimetidine, 600 mg given twice a day for two days, reduced clearance of an intravenous nicotine dose by 30%. Ranitidine, 300 mg given twice a day for two days, reduced clearance by 10%. The clinical significance of this interaction is not known. Patients should be monitored for increased nicotine effects when using the patches or gum for smoking cessation and dosage adjustments should be made as appropriate.

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.
