Interactions between your drugs

Major

nefazodone fostamatinib

Applies to: nefazodone and fostamatinib

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of fostamatinib with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase 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 80 mg dose of fostamatinib (0.53 times the 150 mg dosage) was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 3.5 days), R406 peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased on average by 37% and 102%, respectively, compared to fostamatinib administered alone. Increased exposure to R406 may result in increased risk of adverse effects such as diarrhea, hepatotoxicity, hypertension, and neutropenia.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be monitored for toxicities of fostamatinib during concomitant use of potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, and the fostamatinib dosage adjusted as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nefazodone food

Applies to: nefazodone

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.

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.
