Interactions between your drugs

Minor

fidaxomicin tepotinib

Applies to: fidaxomicin and tepotinib

Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of fidaxomicin and its main metabolite, OP-1118, both of which are substrates of the intestinal efflux transporter. When fidaxomicin 200 mg was administered in combination with cyclosporine 200 mg in 14 study subjects, fidaxomicin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by an average of 4.2- and 1.9-fold, respectively, compared to when administered alone. The Cmax and AUC of OP-1118 was increased by 9.5- and 4.1-fold, respectively, with cyclosporine. Theoretically, concentrations of fidaxomicin and OP-1118 may also be decreased at the site of action (i.e., gastrointestinal tract) due to P-gp inhibition. However, concomitant use of a P-gp inhibitor had no attributable effect on safety or efficacy of fidaxomicin in controlled clinical trials. No dosage adjustment is recommended when fidaxomicin is coadministered with P-gp inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tepotinib food

Applies to: tepotinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of tepotinib. When tepotinib was administered after a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150 calories from protein, 250 calories from carbohydrate, 500 to 600 calories from fat), tepotinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasted conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Tepotinib should be administered with food at approximately the same time each day.

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.
