Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of mavorixafor, which is both a substrate of the P-gp efflux transporter and primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. When a single dose of mavorixafor (200 mg) was coadministered with the strong CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor itraconazole (200 mg at steady state), mavorixafor's systemic exposure (AUC) increased approximately 2-fold. The resulting AUC was similar to that expected from a single dose of 400 mg given alone to healthy subjects. Clinical data with drugs that are less potent inhibitors or only inhibit CYP450 3A4 or P-gp are not available. As mavorixafor causes concentration-dependent QT interval prolongation, an increase in its AUC could increase the possibility of experiencing this adverse effect. Likewise, this risk may be further increased if the P-gp and/or CYP450 3A4 inhibitor being used also carries a risk of QT prolongation (e.g., amiodarone, azithromycin, bepridil, ciprofloxacin, clofazimine, crizotinib, dronedarone, erythromycin, fluconazole, lapatinib, oral lefamulin, nilotinib, osimertinib, pacritinib, quinidine, quinine, ranolazine, ribociclib).
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close clinical monitoring for adverse effects associated with mavorixafor, such as QT prolongation, are advised if concurrent use with a P-gp and/or moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor is required. Any modifiable risk factors for QT prolongation, such as electrolyte abnormalities, should be corrected. The QTc (QT interval corrected for heart rate) should be assessed at baseline and as clinically indicated during concomitant therapy. If adverse reactions associated with mavorixafor develop, its daily dose should be reduced by steps of 100 mg, as described in the labeling, but not to a dose less than 200 mg. If the P-gp and/or CYP450 3A4 inhibitor also carries a risk of QTc prolongation, its labeling should be consulted as well for more specific guidance on monitoring and potential adjustments to treatment should this adverse effect occur.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit products may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and effects of mavorixafor, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. A study examining mavorixafor in combination with the strong CYP450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor, itraconazole, suggests an increase in mavorixafor's systemic exposure (AUC) of approximately 2-fold. Clinical data with grapefruit products are not available. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit are subject to a high degree of interpatient variability and can also be affected by the product and amount consumed; therefore, the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict. Additionally, since mavorixafor is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may significantly reduce the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of mavorixafor. When a single-dose of mavorixafor (400 mg) was administered with a high-fat meal (1000 calories, 50% fat) to healthy subjects, the Cmax and AUC decreased by 66% and 55%, respectively. Similarly, when the same dose was given with a low-fat meal (500 calories, 25% fat) to healthy subjects, mavorixafor's Cmax and AUC decreased by 55% and 51%, respectively. Additionally, a single dose of mavorixafor (400 mg) administered with a low-fat meal to healthy subjects following an overnight fast resulted in a 14% higher Cmax and an 18% lower AUC than those obtained from subjects who fasted for an additional 4 hours after the dose.
MANAGEMENT: Mavorixafor should be taken on an empty stomach after an overnight fast, 30 minutes before food. Patients should be advised to avoid eating or drinking products containing grapefruit, as this could increase the risk of experiencing adverse effects from mavorixafor such as QT prolongation.
verapamil food
Applies to: verapamil
You may take verapamil with or without food, but take it the same way every time. You should avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice as much as possible during treatment with verapamil. If you have been regularly consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice with verapamil, do not increase or decrease the amounts of these products in your diet without first talking to your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels and effects of verapamil. Contact your doctor if you experience sudden, unexplained weight gain; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet; chest pain; or difficulty breathing. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
verapamil food
Applies to: verapamil
Ask your doctor before using verapamil together with ethanol. Verapamil may increase the blood levels and intoxicating effects of ethanol. This can cause symptoms of extreme drowsiness, confusion, and nausea. If you experience any of these side effect you should avoid activities requiring mental alertness. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
verapamil food
Applies to: verapamil
Using verapamil together with multivitamin with minerals can decrease the effects of verapamil. Talk with your doctor before using verapamil and multivitamin with minerals together. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often if you take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
