Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nilotinib sofpironium topical

Applies to: nilotinib and sofpironium topical

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 may increase the plasma concentrations of topical sofpironium, which has been shown to be partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a pharmacokinetic study in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sofpironium systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased approximately 2-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitor paroxetine at a 20 mg oral dose. Clinical data for sofpironium use in combination with other less potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitors are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when sofpironium topical is used concurrently with CYP450 2D6 inhibitors. Patients should be more closely monitored for adverse effects such as blurred vision, urinary retention, difficulty controlling body temperature in warm environments, and dry mouth.

Drug and food interactions

Major

nilotinib food

Applies to: nilotinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of nilotinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. Compared to the fast state, nilotinib systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 82% when the dose was given 30 minutes after a high-fat meal. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nilotinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. In addition, no food should be consumed for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after a nilotinib dose.

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.
