Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

opicapone tucatinib

Applies to: opicapone and tucatinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2C8 may increase the plasma concentrations of tucatinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When gemfibrozil (600 mg twice daily), a potent CYP450 2C8 inhibitor, was administered with a single tucatinib dose of 300 mg, tucatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 1.6-fold and 3-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Increased monitoring is advised if tucatinib is coadministered with CYP450 2C8 inhibitors. Dosage adjustments may be required based on clinical response and tolerance.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

opicapone food

Applies to: opicapone

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the rate and extent of absorption of opicapone. When opicapone was administered following a moderate fat/moderate calorie meal, mean opicapone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 62% and 31%, respectively, while the time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) was delayed by 4 hours.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid eating 1 to 2 hours before and after taking opicapone.

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.
