Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cinacalcet food

Applies to: Sensipar (cinacalcet)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of cinacalcet. According to the product labeling for cinacalcet, administration with a high-fat meal increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of cinacalcet by 82% and 68%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. The Cmax and AUC were increased 65% and 50%, respectively, when cinacalcet was administered with a low-fat meal compared to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, cinacalcet should be administered with or immediately after a meal. The tablets should be taken whole and not divided or crushed.

Moderate

magnesium salicylate food

Applies to: Novasal (magnesium salicylate)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.
