Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nortriptyline mirabegron

Applies to: nortriptyline and 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as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever mirabegron is added to or withdrawn from therapy.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

nortriptyline food

Applies to: nortriptyline

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of ethanol and a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) may result altered TCA plasma levels and efficacy, and additive impairment of motor skills, especially driving skills. Acute ethanol ingestion may inhibit TCA metabolism, while chronic ingestion of large amounts of ethanol may induce hepatic TCA metabolism.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during TCA therapy. Alcoholics who have undergone detoxification should be monitored for decreased TCA efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be required.

mirabegron food

Applies to: 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.
