Interactions between your drugs

Minor

prucalopride simeprevir

Applies to: prucalopride and Olysio (simeprevir)

Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations of prucalopride, which is thought to be a weak substrate of the efflux transporter. When given with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inhibitor, ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily), prucalopride peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 40%. This effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

simeprevir food

Applies to: Olysio (simeprevir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of simeprevir, although the type of food does not seem to matter. In healthy study subjects, administration of simeprevir after a high-fat, high-caloric (928 kcal) breakfast increased systemic exposure (AUC) by 61% and delayed absorption by 1 hour, while administration after a normal caloric (533 kcal) breakfast increased AUC by 69% and delayed absorption by 1.5 hours.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, simeprevir 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.
