Interactions between your drugs

Minor

tolvaptan niraparib

Applies to: tolvaptan and niraparib

Coadministration of niraparib with a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) inhibitor may increase the plasma concentration of niraparib, which is a substrate of these efflux transporters. However, due to the high permeability and bioavailability of niraparib, the risk of a clinically relevant interaction with inhibitors of these transporters is unlikely. No dose adjustment is recommended if a P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitor is added to treatment with niraparib.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tolvaptan food

Applies to: tolvaptan

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of tolvaptan. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. According to the product labeling, administration of tolvaptan with grapefruit juice resulted in a 1.8-fold increase in tolvaptan systemic exposure. The clinical significance is unknown, although increased pharmacologic effects may be expected. Too rapid correction of hyponatremia increases the risk of osmotic demyelination syndrome, which is associated with dysarthria, mutism, dysphagia, lethargy, affective changes, spastic quadriparesis, seizures, coma, and death.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tolvaptan should avoid consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice.

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.
