Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ALPRAZolam osilodrostat

Applies to: Niravam (alprazolam) and osilodrostat

MONITOR: Coadministration with osilodrostat may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 1A2, 2C19, 2D6, and/or 3A4. Osilodrostat has been shown to be a moderate inhibitor of CYP450 1A2, a mild to borderline moderate inhibitor of CYP450 2C19, and a weak inhibitor of CYP450 2D6 and 3A4. In a pharmacokinetic study with 20 healthy volunteers using a single 50 mg dose of osilodrostat and a probe drug cocktail, osilodrostat increased the exposures to caffeine (CYP450 1A2 substrate), omeprazole (CYP450 2C19 substrate), dextromethorphan (CYP450 2D6 substrate), and midazolam (CYP450 3A4/5 substrate) by 2.5-, 1.9-, 1.5- and 1.5-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when osilodrostat is used concurrently with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2, 2C19, 2D6 and/or 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever osilodrostat is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ALPRAZolam food

Applies to: Niravam (alprazolam)

GENERALLY AVOID: The pharmacologic activity of oral midazolam, triazolam, and alprazolam may be increased if taken after drinking grapefruit juice. The proposed mechanism is CYP450 3A4 enzyme inhibition. In addition, acute alcohol ingestion may potentiate CNS depression and other CNS effects of many benzodiazepines. Tolerance may develop with chronic ethanol use. The mechanism may be decreased clearance of the benzodiazepines because of CYP450 hepatic enzyme inhibition. Also, it has been suggested that the cognitive deficits induced by benzodiazepines may be increased in patients who chronically consume large amounts of alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends that grapefruit juice should not be taken with oral midazolam. Patients taking triazolam or alprazolam should be monitored for excessive sedation. Alternatively, the patient could consume orange juice which does not interact with these drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during benzodiazepine therapy.

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.
