- rolapitant
Interactions between your drugs
dextromethorphan rolapitant
Applies to: G-Tusicof (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / phenylephrine) and rolapitant
MONITOR: Coadministration with rolapitant may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2D6 isoenzyme. Rolapitant is a moderate CYP450 2D6 inhibitor, with inhibitory effect lasting at least 7 days after a single dose. When a 30 mg dose of dextromethorphan, a CYP450 2D6 probe substrate, was administered with a 180 mg dose of rolapitant on day 1 of a pharmacokinetic study, dextromethorphan peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 120% and 160%, respectively. When dextromethorphan was administered on day 8 without rolapitant, Cmax and AUC increased by 180% and 230%, respectively. The duration of CYP450 2D6 inhibition was not studied beyond 7 days and may last longer.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when rolapitant is prescribed with drugs that are significantly metabolized by CYP450 2D6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever rolapitant is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Due to the prolonged duration of CYP450 2D6 inhibition by rolapitant, prolonged monitoring for adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2D6 may be required for at least 28 days after administration of rolapitant.

Drug and food interactions
dextromethorphan food
Applies to: G-Tusicof (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / phenylephrine)
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.

phenylephrine food
Applies to: G-Tusicof (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin / phenylephrine)
MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.
