Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

telotristat ethyl maribavir

Applies to: telotristat and Livtencity (maribavir)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of maribavir, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When maribavir (400 mg twice daily) was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifampin (600 mg once daily), maribavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 39% and 60%, respectively. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent inducers.

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

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

telotristat ethyl food

Applies to: telotristat

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the systemic exposure to both telotristat ethyl and its active metabolite, telotristat. Following administration of a single 500 mg dose of telotristat ethyl (twice the recommended dose) with a high-fat meal, telotristat ethyl peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were 112% and 264% higher, respectively, compared to administration under fasted conditions. The Cmax and AUC values for telotristat were also increased by 47% and 33%, respectively. The in vitro inhibitory potency of telotristat towards tryptophan hydroxylase has been shown to be approximately 29 times higher than that of the parent drug.

MANAGEMENT: Telotristat ethyl 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.
