Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

fenofibrate roflumilast

Applies to: Lofibra (fenofibrate) and roflumilast

MONITOR: Coadministration with fenofibrate may increase the plasma concentrations and risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, and 2C9 isoenzymes. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to fenofibrate-mediated inhibition of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, and 2C9.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advised if fenofibrate is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, or 2C9 isoenzymes, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever fenofibrate is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

roflumilast food

Applies to: roflumilast

Food intake does not affect the total exposure to roflumilast and its pharmacologically active N-oxide metabolite, but delays the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of roflumilast by one hour and reduces its peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 40%. The Tmax and Cmax of
roflumilast N-oxide are unaffected. Roflumilast may be taken with or without 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.
