nisoldipine ertugliflozin

Applies to: nisoldipine and Steglujan (ertugliflozin / sitagliptin)

MONITOR: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors may potentiate the hypotensive effects of diuretics and other antihypertensive agents or vasodilators. Inhibition of glucose and sodium co-transport produces mild diuresis and transient natriuresis, resulting in intravascular volume contraction. Volume depletion-related adverse reactions including hypotension, postural dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, syncope, and dehydration can occur after initiating treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors, and the risk may be increased with concomitant use of other agents that can lower blood pressure.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if SGLT-2 inhibitors are coadministered with diuretics and other hypotensive agents, particularly in the elderly and patients with impaired renal function. Prior to initiating SGLT-2 inhibitors, volume status should be assessed and corrected, if necessary. Clinical and laboratory monitoring are recommended during therapy, including electrolytes, fluid status, renal function, and blood pressure. If volume depletion occurs, treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors should be interrupted until the condition is corrected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nisoldipine food

Applies to: nisoldipine

GENERALLY AVOID: The consumption of grapefruit juice may be associated with significantly increased plasma concentrations of some calcium channel blockers (CCBs) when they are administered orally. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. The interaction has been reported with the dihydropyridine CCBs (in roughly decreasing order of magnitude) felodipine, nisoldipine, nifedipine, and nimodipine, often with a high degree of interindividual variability. Grapefruit juice caused more than twofold increases in felodipine, nifedipine, and nisoldipine AUCs.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturers of nifedipine and nisoldipine recommend avoiding grapefruit juice. Patients treated orally with other calcium channel blockers should be advised to avoid consumption of large amounts of grapefruits and grapefruit juice to prevent any undue fluctuations in serum drug levels. Increased effects on blood pressure may persist for up to 4 days after the consumption of grapefruit juice. Monitoring for calcium channel blocker adverse effects (e.g., headache, hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, edema) is recommended.

Moderate

SITagliptin food

Applies to: Steglujan (ertugliflozin / sitagliptin)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes. Hypoglycemia most frequently occurs during acute consumption of alcohol. Even modest amounts can lower blood sugar significantly, especially when the alcohol is ingested on an empty stomach or following exercise. The mechanism involves inhibition of both gluconeogenesis as well as the counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia. Episodes of hypoglycemia may last for 8 to 12 hours after ethanol ingestion. By contrast, chronic alcohol abuse can cause impaired glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels in patients with well controlled diabetes. A disulfiram-like reaction (e.g., flushing, headache, and nausea) to alcohol has been reported frequently with the use of chlorpropamide and very rarely with other sulfonylureas.

MANAGEMENT: Patients with diabetes should avoid consuming alcohol if their blood glucose is not well controlled, or if they have hypertriglyceridemia, neuropathy, or pancreatitis. Patients with well controlled diabetes should limit their alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with their normal meal plan. Alcohol should not be consumed on an empty stomach or following exercise.

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.
