Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nintedanib pretomanid

Applies to: nintedanib and pretomanid

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with pretomanid may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP1B3), and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to pretomanid-mediated inhibition of BCRP, OATP1B3, and/or P-gp. The clinical significance is unknown as data are limited and conflicting.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, the manufacturers of pretomanid recommend that clinicians should be aware of the potential for enhanced pharmacologic effects with drugs that are substrates of BCRP, OATP1B3, and/or Pg-p, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range, when pretomanid is coadministered. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring of the BCRP, OATP1B3, and/or P-gp substrate drug should be considered whenever pretomanid is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs.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

nintedanib food

Applies to: nintedanib

Grapefruit juice and Seville orange juice can increase the blood levels of nintedanib. This may increase the risk and/or severity of side effects such as liver problems, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach or intestinal wall perforation, bleeding, and cardiovascular problems such as heart attack, chest pain, or stroke. It is best to avoid or minimize the consumption of Seville oranges, Seville orange juice, grapefruit, and grapefruit juice during treatment. You should take nintedanib with food and swallow it whole with water. Taking nintedanib with food may help with absorption of the medication and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
