Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

glecaprevir pexidartinib

Applies to: glecaprevir / pibrentasvir and pexidartinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. Both antiviral agents are substrates of the P-gp efflux transporter, and glecaprevir is additionally a substrate of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. When a single 300 mg-120 mg dose of glecaprevir-pibrentasvir was administered to 12 study subjects following multiple dosing of the potent inducer rifampin at 600 mg once daily, glecaprevir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 86% and 88%, respectively, while pibrentasvir Cmax and AUC decreased by 83% and 87%, respectively. Likewise, when a single dose of glecaprevir-pibrentasvir was administered to 10 study subjects following multiple dosing of carbamazepine 200 mg twice daily, glecaprevir Cmax and AUC decreased by approximately two-thirds, while pibrentasvir Cmax and AUC decreased by approximately one-half.

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

Drug and food interactions

Major

pexidartinib food

Applies to: pexidartinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The presence of food may increase the absorption and toxicity of pexidartinib. Administration of pexidartinib with a high-fat meal increased peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 100% and prolonged the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) by 2.5 hours.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentration and risk of adverse effects of pexidartinib, including potentially fatal hepatotoxicity. The mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of pexidartinib by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Concomitant administration of itraconazole, a strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, increased pexidartinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 48% and 70%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Pexidartinib should be administered on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal or snack. Consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice should generally be avoided during pexidartinib therapy. If concomitant use is unavoidable, the dose of pexidartinib should be reduced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If concomitant use of grapefruit or grapefruit juice is discontinued, the dose of pexidartinib may be increased (after 3 plasma half-lives of a strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitor) to the dose that was used prior to consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

Moderate

glecaprevir food

Applies to: glecaprevir / pibrentasvir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. Relative to fasting conditions, mean glecaprevir systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 83% to 163% and mean pibrentasvir AUC increased by 40% to 53% when administered with moderate to high fat meals.

MANAGEMENT: Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir should be administered with food.

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.
