Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

fluvoxaMINE roflumilast

Applies to: fluvoxamine and roflumilast

MONITOR: Coadministration with CYP450 1A2 inhibitors or dual CYP450 1A2/3A4 inhibitors may increase the systemic exposure to roflumilast and its pharmacologically active N-oxide metabolite. In drug interaction studies, the total exposure to roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide increased by 25%, 47% and 59% with the CYP450 1A2 inhibitor enoxacin and the dual CYP450 1A2/3A4 inhibitors cimetidine and fluvoxamine, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Treatment with roflumilast should be re-evaluated if an interaction is suspected and persistent intolerability occurs. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience increased frequency and/or severity of side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and headache.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

fluvoxaMINE food

Applies to: fluvoxamine

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

roflumilast food

Applies to: roflumilast

Food intake does not affect the total exposure to roflumilast and its pharmacologically active N-oxide metabolite, but delays the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of roflumilast by one hour and reduces its peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 40%. The Tmax and Cmax of
roflumilast N-oxide are unaffected. Roflumilast may be taken with or without food.

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.
