Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

griseofulvin fostamatinib

Applies to: Grisactin 500 (griseofulvin) and fostamatinib

MONITOR: Coadministration of fostamatinib with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease exposure to the active metabolite known as R406, the predominant moiety in the systemic circulation following fostamatinib administration. Fostamatinib is metabolized in the gut by alkaline phosphatase to R406, which then undergoes oxidation via CYP450 3A4 and glucuronidation via UGT1A9. When a single 150 mg dose of fostamatinib was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 and UGT1A1 inducer rifampin (600 mg once daily for 8 days), R406 peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased on average by 59% and 75%, respectively, compared to fostamatinib administered alone. Reduced efficacy of fostamatinib may occur. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent inducers.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of fostamatinib should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

griseofulvin food

Applies to: Grisactin 500 (griseofulvin)

MONITOR: Isolated case reports have suggested that the ingestion of alcohol during griseofulvin therapy may rarely cause disulfiram-like reactions, flushing, tachycardia, or increased effects of alcohol. The mechanism is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised of the possibility of increased adverse effects or a disulfiram-like reaction.

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.
