Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

prazosin momelotinib

Applies to: prazosin and momelotinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with momelotinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transporter. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of BCRP-mediated intestinal and hepatobiliary efflux by momelotinib. Clinical studies have demonstrated that concomitant use of a single dose of rosuvastatin (10 mg) with multiple daily doses of momelotinib (200 mg) increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 220% and 170%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during concomitant use of momelotinib with drugs that are substrates of the BCRP transporter, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever momelotinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for the BCRP substrate should consulted for further information.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

prazosin food

Applies to: prazosin

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of ethanol and alpha-1 adrenergic blockers may cause increased hypotensive effects. Patients with aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiencies (primarily Asians) may be at a higher risk of this interaction. The mechanism has not been determined. Data exist for prazosin and other alpha adrenergic blockers are expected to interact also. In addition, any patients taking alpha adrenergic blockers may experience excessive orthostatic hypotension with ethanol ingestion, due to ethanol's unopposed vasodilatory effects in the presence of alpha adrenergic blockade.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who develop a flushing reaction after ethanol ingestion (indicates a possible aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency) should be advised to avoid ethanol or limit their intake. All patients should be warned about the possibility of orthostatic hypotension with concurrent ethanol use.

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.
