Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

fenofibrate esomeprazole

Applies to: Triglide (fenofibrate) and Nexium (esomeprazole)

MONITOR: Coadministration with fenofibrate may increase the plasma concentrations and risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, and 2C9 isoenzymes. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to fenofibrate-mediated inhibition of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, and 2C9.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advised if fenofibrate is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, or 2C9 isoenzymes, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever fenofibrate is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

esomeprazole food

Applies to: Nexium (esomeprazole)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may interfere with the absorption of esomeprazole. The manufacturer reports that the area under the concentration-time curve for esomeprazole following a single 40 mg dose was 33% to 53% lower when administered after food intake as opposed to during fasting conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Esomeprazole should be taken at least one hour before meals. When administered to patients receiving continuous enteral nutrition, some experts recommend that the tube feeding should be interrupted for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after the dose of esomeprazole is given.

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.
