Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

primidone momelotinib

Applies to: primidone and momelotinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may decrease the plasma concentration and therapeutic effects of momelotinib. The proposed mechanism is increased metabolism of momelotinib via the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. However, momelotinib is metabolized by multiple pathways and so the clinical significance is unclear. In a phase I study, coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (600 mg once daily) following a single dose of momelotinib (200 mg) reduced the Cmax and AUC of momelotinib by 29% and 46%, respectively, when compared with a single dose of momelotinib (200 mg) plus a single dose of rifampin (600 mg). No data are available for use with other, less potent inducers.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring for decreased momelotinib efficacy may be required when used concomitantly with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers. An alternative agent with less potential for induction should be considered if possible.

Drug and food interactions

Major

primidone food

Applies to: primidone

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent acute use of barbiturates and ethanol may result in additive CNS effects, including impaired coordination, sedation, and death. Tolerance of these agents may occur with chronic use. The mechanism is related to inhibition of microsomal enzymes acutely and induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes chronically.

MANAGEMENT: The combination of ethanol and barbiturates should be avoided.

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.
