Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

rifapentine ospemifene

Applies to: rifapentine and ospemifene

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4, 2C9, and/or 2C19 may decrease the plasma concentrations of ospemifene, which is metabolized by these isoenzymes. The interaction has been studied with rifampin, a potent CYP450 3A4/moderate CYP450 2C9/moderate CYP450 2C19 inducer. In 12 postmenopausal women pretreated with rifampin 600 mg once daily for 5 days, administration of ospemifene 60 mg after breakfast on day 6 resulted in 51% and 58% decreases in ospemifene peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC), respectively, compared to administration of ospemifene alone.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for reduced therapeutic effects of ospemifene should be considered when used in combination with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4, 2C9, and/or 2C19.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

rifapentine food

Applies to: rifapentine

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the oral bioavailability of rifapentine and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events. Administration with a high fat meal typically increases rifapentine's maximum concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 40% to 50% over that observed when rifapentine is administered under fasting conditions. Rifapentine is often prescribed in combination with isoniazid. When single doses of rifapentine (900 mg) and isoniazid (900 mg) were administered with a low fat, high carbohydrate breakfast, the Cmax and AUC of rifapentine increased by 47% and 51%, respectively. On the other hand, isoniazid's Cmax and AUC decreased by 46% and 23%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Products containing oral rifapentine as the sole ingredient recommend administration with a meal to increase bioavailability and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and/or vomiting. Consultation of product labeling for combination products and/or relevant guidelines may be helpful if rifapentine is combined with a medication that is typically taken on an empty stomach.

ospemifene food

Applies to: ospemifene

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of ospemifene. In a cross-study comparison, administration of a single 60 mg dose of ospemifene with a high-fat/high-calorie meal (860 kcal) in postmenopausal women increased ospemifene peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 2.3- and 1.7-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasted condition. Elimination half-life and time to maximum concentration (Tmax) were not altered. In two separate food effect studies where different ospemifene tablet formulations were given to healthy male volunteers, ospemifene Cmax and AUC increased by 2.3- and 1.8-fold, respectively, with a low-fat/low-calorie meal (300 kcal) and 3.6- and 2.7-fold, respectively, with a high-fat/high-calorie meal (860 kcal) relative to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Ospemifene should be taken once daily 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.
