- sotorasib
Interactions between your drugs
loperamide sotorasib
Applies to: Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief (loperamide / simethicone) and sotorasib
MONITOR: Coadministration with sotorasib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) membrane transporters. The proposed mechanism involves enhanced absorption and bioavailability of substrate drugs due to inhibition of intestinal P-gp- and BCRP-mediated efflux by sotorasib. Inhibition of P-gp and BCRP transport in other organs such as the liver and kidney may also contribute in some cases, especially for non-oral drugs. When digoxin, a sensitive P-gp substrate, was coadministered with sotorasib, digoxin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 91% and 21%, respectively. When rosuvastatin, a BCRP substrate, was coadministered with sotorasib, rosuvastatin Cmax and AUC increased by 70% and 34%, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when sotorasib is used concurrently with drugs that are P-gp and/or BCRP substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. The prescribing information recommends avoiding coadministration of sotorasib with P-gp and BCRP substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration is required, dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever sotorasib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration of a P-gp and BCRP inhibitor like sotorasib and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions
loperamide food
Applies to: Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief (loperamide / simethicone)
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.

sotorasib food
Applies to: sotorasib
Food does not appear to have a clinically significant effect on the oral bioavailability of sotorasib. When a 960 mg dose of sotorasib was administered to study patients with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories; 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively), sotorasib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) did not change while systemic exposure (AUC 0-24 hours) increased by 25% compared to administration under fasted conditions. Sotorasib can be administered with or without food at approximately the same time each day.
