Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

modafinil tecovirimat

Applies to: modafinil and tecovirimat

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer), which are both partially metabolized by the isoenzyme.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to modafinil or armodafinil should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Dose adjustments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tecovirimat food

Applies to: tecovirimat

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may increase the extent of tecovirimat absorption following oral administration. When the recommended oral dose of tecovirimat (600 mg every 12 hours) was administered with a meal (approximately 600 calories and 25 g of fat) in healthy adults weighing less than 120 kg, tecovirimat absorption increased by 39% relative to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Oral tecovirimat should be taken within 30 minutes after a full meal containing moderate or high fat (approximately 600 calories and 25 g of fat) with 6 to 8 ounces of water.

modafinil food

Applies to: modafinil

Administration with food may delay the absorption of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer) without significantly affecting their overall bioavailability. According to the product labeling, modafinil's absorption may be delayed by approximately one hour if taken with food. Similarly, the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of armodafinil may be delayed by approximately 2 to 4 hours in the fed state.

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.
