Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

telaprevir trofinetide

Applies to: Incivek (telaprevir) and trofinetide

MONITOR: Coadministration with trofinetide may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 via inhibition of the isoenzyme. Based on pharmacokinetic modeling, concomitant use of trofinetide and oral midazolam, a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, is predicted to increase midazolam systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 1.33-fold. Clinical data are currently lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if trofinetide is coadministered with CYP450 3A4 substrates, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. If concomitant use is required, clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever trofinetide is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

telaprevir food

Applies to: Incivek (telaprevir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of telaprevir. When given with a meal containing 533 kcal and 21 g fat, telaprevir systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 237% compared to administration under fasting conditions. The type of meal also affects the exposure to telaprevir. Relative to fasting, telaprevir AUC increased by approximately 117% with a low-fat meal (249 kcal; 3.6 g fat) and 330% with a high-fat meal (928 kcal; 56 g fat). In Phase 3 clinical trials, telaprevir doses were administered within 30 minutes of completing a meal or snack containing approximately 20 grams of fat.

MANAGEMENT: Telaprevir should be administered with food containing approximately 20 grams of fat. Patients should be advised that the fat content of the meal or snack is critical to the absorption of telaprevir. Food taken with telaprevir should be ingested within 30 minutes prior to each dose. Examples of some foods that could be taken with telaprevir include: bagel with cream cheese; half cup of nuts; 3 tablespoons of peanut butter; 1 cup of ice cream; 2 ounces of American or cheddar cheese; 2 ounces of potato chips; or half cup of trail mix.

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.
