ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the systemic exposure of givinostat. An open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose food effect study conducted in 12 healthy males used givinostat liquid filled capsules. Subjects received a single oral dose of givinostat (100 mg) in the fasting state or after a high-fat standard meal, with a washout period of at least 1 week in between. The high-fat standard meal resulted in an increase in systemic exposure (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of about 40% and 23%, respectively, when compared to the fasted state. Additionally, the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was delayed slightly from 2 to 3 hours.
MANAGEMENT: Givinostat should be administered with food to increase its absorption. In the case of the oral suspension, this can also help mask its bitter taste.
sulfamethoxazole food
Applies to: sulfamethoxazole
Ask your doctor before using sulfamethoxazole together with ethanol (alcohol). Contact your doctor if you experience unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, warmth or redness under your skin, tingly feeling, nausea, or vomiting. If you experience these side effects, you may need to avoid ethanol (alcohol) while taking sulfamethoxazole. You should check your food and medicine labels to see if these products contain ethanol (alcohol). It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
