Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

valsartan darolutamide

Applies to: valsartan and Nubeqa (darolutamide)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of the hepatic uptake transporter OATP 1B1 (e.g., rifampin, cyclosporine, paritaprevir) or the hepatic efflux transporter MRP2 (e.g., ritonavir) may increase the systemic exposure to valsartan, which is a substrate of both transporters.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if valsartan is used in combination with inhibitors of OATP 1B1 or MRP2. Pharmacologic response and blood pressure should be monitored more closely following the addition, discontinuation, or change of dosage of the transporter inhibitor, and the valsartan dosage adjusted as necessary.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

valsartan food

Applies to: valsartan

GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium, especially salt substitutes, may increase the risk of hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). ARBs can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion. Patients with diabetes, heart failure, dehydration, or renal insufficiency have a greater risk of developing hyperkalemia.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should receive dietary counseling and be advised to not use potassium-containing salt substitutes or over-the-counter potassium supplements without consulting their physician. If salt substitutes are used concurrently, regular monitoring of serum potassium levels is recommended. Patients should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms of hyperkalemia such as weakness, irregular heartbeat, confusion, tingling of the extremities, or feelings of heaviness in the legs.

darolutamide food

Applies to: Nubeqa (darolutamide)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption of darolutamide. According to the prescribing information, bioavailability of darolutamide increased by 2.0 to 2.5-fold when administered with food. A similar increase in exposure was observed for the active metabolite keto-darolutamide.

MANAGEMENT: Darolutamide should be administered with food.

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.
