- ranolazine
Interactions between your drugs
ranolazine nintedanib
Applies to: ranolazine and nintedanib
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of nintedanib, which is a substrate of the efflux transporter and a minor substrate of the isoenzyme. In a dedicated drug interaction study, administration of nintedanib with the potent P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole, increased nintedanib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 83% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 61%. No data are available for use with other, less potent inhibitors.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if nintedanib is prescribed in combination with P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Pharmacologic response to nintedanib should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4/P-gp inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the nintedanib dosing adjusted or interrupted as necessary in accordance with the product labeling. Patients should be closely monitored for increased adverse effects such as liver enzyme and bilirubin elevations, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal perforation, bleeding, and arterial thromboembolic events (e.g., myocardial infarction).

Drug and food interactions
ranolazine food
Applies to: ranolazine
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered ranolazine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because ranolazine prolongs QT interval in a dose-dependent manner, high plasma levels of ranolazine may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsade de pointes.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ranolazine should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and other grapefruit products if possible. Otherwise, the dosage of ranolazine should be limited to 500 mg twice a day.

nintedanib food
Applies to: nintedanib
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of nintedanib. After food intake, nintedanib exposure increased by approximately 20% compared to administration under fasted conditions. Absorption was also delayed, as indicated by an increase in the median time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) from 2 hours in the fasted state to approximately 4 hours under fed conditions, irrespective of the type of food ingested.
MANAGEMENT: Nintedanib should be administered with food.
