Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ALPRAZolam olutasidenib

Applies to: Xanax (alprazolam) and olutasidenib

MONITOR: Coadministration with olutasidenib may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. Based on in vitro studies, olutasidenib may increase clearance via induction of CYP450 3A4, resulting in decreased plasma concentrations of agents that are metabolized by the isoenzyme. Clinical and pharmacokinetic data are currently lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if olutasidenib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. The prescribing information for olutasidenib recommends avoiding coadministration with CYP450 3A4 substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure. If coadministration is required, clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever olutasidenib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ALPRAZolam food

Applies to: Xanax (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.

Moderate

olutasidenib food

Applies to: olutasidenib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with a high-fat meal may increase the plasma concentrations of olutasidenib. According to the product labeling, administration of a single 150 mg dose with a high-fat meal (approximately 800 to 1000 calories, with approximately 50% of those calories from fat) increased olutasidenib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 191% and 83%, respectively, in healthy subjects.

MANAGEMENT: Olutasidenib should be administered at about the same time each day, on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

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.
