Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

tamsulosin osilodrostat

Applies to: tamsulosin and osilodrostat

MONITOR: Coadministration with osilodrostat may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 1A2, 2C19, 2D6, and/or 3A4. Osilodrostat has been shown to be a moderate inhibitor of CYP450 1A2, a mild to borderline moderate inhibitor of CYP450 2C19, and a weak inhibitor of CYP450 2D6 and 3A4. In a pharmacokinetic study with 20 healthy volunteers using a single 50 mg dose of osilodrostat and a probe drug cocktail, osilodrostat increased the exposures to caffeine (CYP450 1A2 substrate), omeprazole (CYP450 2C19 substrate), dextromethorphan (CYP450 2D6 substrate), and midazolam (CYP450 3A4/5 substrate) by 2.5-, 1.9-, 1.5- and 1.5-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when osilodrostat is used concurrently with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2, 2C19, 2D6 and/or 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever osilodrostat is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tamsulosin food

Applies to: tamsulosin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may delay the gastrointestinal absorption of tamsulosin. The time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) is reached by 4 to 5 hours under fasted conditions and by 6 to 7 hours when tamsulosin is administered with food. The delay in Tmax has the desirable effect of smoothing the tamsulosin plasma concentration profile, thereby reducing fluctuation of the plasma peak and trough concentrations with multiple dosing. Food may also affect the extent of absorption of tamsulosin. It has been reported that taking tamsulosin under fasted conditions results in a 30% increase in bioavailability (AUC) and 40% to 70% increase in peak plasma concentration (Cmax) compared to fed conditions. The effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of tamsulosin are consistent regardless of whether tamsulosin is taken with a light meal or a high-fat meal.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure uniformity of absorption, tamsulosin should be administered approximately one-half hour following the same meal each day.

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.
