Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

metoprolol mirabegron

Applies to: metoprolol and Myrbetriq (mirabegron)

MONITOR: Coadministration with mirabegron may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP450 2D6. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 2D6 activity by mirabegron. In 12 healthy male volunteers, administration of a single 100 mg oral dose of metoprolol following pretreatment with immediate-release mirabegron 160 mg orally once daily for 5 days increased the metoprolol peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 90% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 229% compared to administration of metoprolol alone. Likewise, in 28 healthy male and female volunteers, Cmax of desipramine increased by 79% and AUC increased by 241% when a single 50 mg oral dose of desipramine was administered after multiple-dose administration of extended-release mirabegron 100 mg once daily for 18 days.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if mirabegron must be used concomitantly with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 2D6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever mirabegron is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

metoprolol food

Applies to: metoprolol

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The bioavailability of metoprolol may be enhanced by food.

MANAGEMENT: Patients may be instructed to take metoprolol at the same time each day, preferably with or immediately following meals.

metoprolol food

Applies to: metoprolol

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent administration with calcium salts may decrease the oral bioavailability of atenolol and possibly other beta-blockers. The exact mechanism of interaction is unknown. In six healthy subjects, calcium 500 mg (as lactate, carbonate, and gluconate) reduced the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of atenolol (100 mg) by 51% and 32%, respectively. The elimination half-life increased by 44%. Twelve hours after the combination, beta-blocking activity (as indicated by inhibition of exercise tachycardia) was reduced compared to that with atenolol alone. However, during a 4-week treatment in six hypertensive patients, there was no difference in blood pressure values between treatments. The investigators suggest that prolongation of the elimination half-life induced by calcium coadministration may have led to atenolol cumulation during long-term dosing, which compensated for the reduced bioavailability.

MANAGEMENT: It may help to separate the administration times of beta-blockers and calcium products by at least 2 hours. Patients should be monitored for potentially diminished beta-blocking effects following the addition of calcium therapy.

Minor

mirabegron food

Applies to: Myrbetriq (mirabegron)

Food reduces the oral absorption and bioavailability of mirabegron. According to the product labeling, administration of a 50 mg tablet with a high-fat meal decreased mirabegron peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 45% and 17%, respectively, whereas administration with a low-fat meal decreased mirabegron Cmax and AUC by 75% and 51%, respectively. In phase 3 clinical studies demonstrating both safety and efficacy, mirabegron was administered without regards to food content and intake. Therefore, mirabegron can be taken with or without food at the recommended dosage.

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.
