Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

metoprolol glofitamab

Applies to: Metoprolol Succinate ER (metoprolol) and glofitamab

MONITOR: Coadministration with glofitamab may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes. Initiation of glofitamab treatment causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 isoenzymes, although the potential for an interaction has not been studied. According to the manufacturer, the highest drug-drug interaction risk would be from the first dose on day 8 of cycle 1, up to 14 days after the first 30 mg dose on day 1 of cycle 2, as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when glofitamab is administered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 isoenzymes, particularly sensitive CYP450 substrates and/or those with a narrow therapeutic range, where minimal changes to concentration may lead to significant adverse reactions, such as carbamazepine, colchicine, cyclosporine, disopyramide, phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, warfarin, macrolide immunosuppressants, vinca alkaloids, and some narcotic analgesics. Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring are recommended, particularly at the initial phase of treatment with glofitamab as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome, and individual product labeling for the CYP450 substrate(s) should be consulted for specific dosage adjustment recommendations.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

metoprolol food

Applies to: Metoprolol Succinate ER (metoprolol)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The bioavailability of metoprolol may be enhanced by food.

MANAGEMENT: Patients may be instructed to take metoprolol at the same time each day, preferably with or immediately following meals.

Moderate

metoprolol food

Applies to: Metoprolol Succinate ER (metoprolol)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent administration with calcium salts may decrease the oral bioavailability of atenolol and possibly other beta-blockers. The exact mechanism of interaction is unknown. In six healthy subjects, calcium 500 mg (as lactate, carbonate, and gluconate) reduced the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of atenolol (100 mg) by 51% and 32%, respectively. The elimination half-life increased by 44%. Twelve hours after the combination, beta-blocking activity (as indicated by inhibition of exercise tachycardia) was reduced compared to that with atenolol alone. However, during a 4-week treatment in six hypertensive patients, there was no difference in blood pressure values between treatments. The investigators suggest that prolongation of the elimination half-life induced by calcium coadministration may have led to atenolol cumulation during long-term dosing, which compensated for the reduced bioavailability.

MANAGEMENT: It may help to separate the administration times of beta-blockers and calcium products by at least 2 hours. Patients should be monitored for potentially diminished beta-blocking effects following the addition of calcium therapy.

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.
