MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2C9 may increase the plasma concentrations of fluvastatin. According to the prescribing information, fluvastatin is primarily metabolized by CYP450 2C9 (approximately 75%) and, to a much lesser extent, by CYP450 2C8 and 3A4 (approximately 5% and 20%, respectively). When a single 40 mg oral dose of fluvastatin was administered on day 4 of treatment with the moderate CYP450 2C9 inhibitor fluconazole (400 mg orally on day 1 and 200 mg on days 2 to 4) in 12 healthy study subjects, mean fluvastatin peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and elimination half-life (t1/2) increased by 44%, 84% and 80%, respectively, compared to administration with placebo. Fluconazole is also a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, which may have contributed to the interaction. In a similar study conducted by the same investigators, fluconazole had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of a single 40 mg oral dose of pravastatin.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when fluvastatin is prescribed with CYP450 2C9 inhibitors. The lowest starting dosage of fluvastatin is recommended, then titrated as needed based on clinical response and tolerance. Alternatively, pravastatin is not metabolized by CYP450 2C9 and may be a reasonable substitute for fluvastatin. All patients receiving statin therapy should be advised to promptly report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, particularly if accompanied by fever, malaise and/or dark colored urine. Therapy should be discontinued if creatine kinase is markedly elevated in the absence of strenuous exercise or if myopathy is otherwise suspected or diagnosed.

Drug and food interactions

Applies to: Krazati (adagrasib)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Adagrasib can cause concentration-dependent, prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with grapefruit juice before adagrasib has reached steady-state may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of adagrasib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Inhibition of hepatic CYP450 3A4 may also contribute. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice but has been reported for the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, itraconazole. In a clinical drug interaction study, adagrasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were increased by 2.4-fold and 4-fold, respectively following concomitant use of a single dose of adagrasib (200 mg) with itraconazole. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of adagrasib at steady state were predicted when used concomitantly with itraconazole. 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. Increased exposure to adagrasib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as QT prolongation, diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, and renal impairment.
Adagrasib pharmacokinetics were not significantly affected when administered with a high-fat meal.
MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice until adagrasib concentrations have reached steady state (after approximately 8 days). Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope. Adagrasib may be administered with or without food.
