Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

silodosin istradefylline

Applies to: silodosin and istradefylline

MONITOR: Coadministration with istradefylline may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux by istradefylline. When a single dose of the P-gp probe substrate digoxin (0.4 mg) was administered with istradefylline (40 mg daily for 21 days), the Cmax and total systemic exposure (AUC(inf)) of digoxin was increased by 33% and 21%, respectively, when compared with digoxin alone.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when istradefylline is used concurrently with drugs that are known P-gp substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever istradefylline is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

silodosin food

Applies to: silodosin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral bioavailability of silodosin. The effect of a moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal on silodosin pharmacokinetics was variable and decreased silodosin maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 18% to 43% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 4% to 49% across three different studies. The maximum effect of food (i.e., coadministration with a high-fat, high-calorie meal) on the pharmacokinetics of silodosin was not evaluated. Safety and efficacy clinical trials for silodosin were always conducted in the presence of food intake.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be instructed to take silodosin with a meal to reduce the risk of adverse events.

istradefylline food

Applies to: istradefylline

ADJUST DOSE: Smoking tobacco may decrease the steady-state systemic exposure of istradefylline by 38% to 54%.

MANAGEMENT: The possibility of reduced therapeutic effects of istradefylline should be considered in smokers. The manufacturer recommends an istradefylline dosage of 40 mg once daily in patients who smoke 20 or more cigarettes (or the equivalent amount of another tobacco product) per day.

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.
