Drug and food interactions
eltrombopag food
Applies to: Promacta (eltrombopag)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral bioavailability of eltrombopag. In healthy volunteers, a standard high-fat breakfast significantly decreased plasma eltrombopag peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 65% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 59% and delayed Tmax by one hour. The calcium content of this meal may have also contributed to this decrease in exposure. In another study, adult subjects administered a single 25 mg dose of eltrombopag for oral suspension with a high-calcium, moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal exhibited a 79% decrease in Cmax and 75% decrease in AUC of eltrombopag. Administration of eltrombopag 2 hours after the high-calcium meal decreased eltrombopag Cmax by 48% and AUC by 47%, while administration 2 hours before the high-calcium meal decreased eltrombopag Cmax by 14% and AUC by 20%.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Polyvalent cations such as aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc can significantly reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of eltrombopag due to chelation. In one clinical trial, administration of a single 75 mg dose of eltrombopag with an antacid containing 1524 mg aluminum hydroxide and 1425 mg magnesium carbonate resulted in an approximately 70% decrease in eltrombopag Cmax and AUC.
MANAGEMENT: Eltrombopag should be taken on an empty stomach one hour before or two hours after a meal. Additionally, eltrombopag should be taken at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after any products that contain polyvalent cations such as antacids, mineral supplements, dairy products, and fortified juices.

furosemide food
Applies to: furosemide
MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia. Patients should also avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medications affect them.
