oxyCODONE ozanimod

Applies to: Perloxx (acetaminophen / oxycodone) and ozanimod

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of opioid analgesics with drugs that possess monoamine oxidase inhibition (MAOI) activity, including selective MAO-B inhibitors, has been associated with rare reports of severe and sometimes fatal adverse reactions. Because an active metabolite of ozanimod inhibits MAO-B in vitro, the interaction may theoretically occur with ozanimod. There appear to be two types of interaction, an excitatory and a depressive one. Symptoms of the excitatory reaction may include agitation, headache, diaphoresis, hyperpyrexia, flushing, shivering, myoclonus, rigidity, tremor, diarrhea, hypertension, tachycardia, seizures, and coma. Death has occurred in some cases. In contrast, symptoms of the depressive reaction probably stem from potentiation of CNS effects by MAOIs and include respiratory depression, cyanosis, hypotension, and coma. There have also been reports of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5-HT1A and 2A receptors, with symptoms similar to the excitatory reaction described above. Some opioids such as fentanyl, meperidine, methadone, tapentadol, and tramadol can inhibit serotonin reuptake and are more likely to cause serotonin syndrome. However, serotonin syndrome has also occurred with other opioids.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, concomitant use of ozanimod with opioid analgesics should be avoided when possible. Blood pressure and other vitals should be monitored if coadministration is required.

Drug and food interactions

Major

oxyCODONE food

Applies to: Perloxx (acetaminophen / oxycodone)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate the central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of opioid analgesics including oxycodone. Concomitant use may result in additive CNS depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills. In more severe cases, hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, or even death may occur.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of oxycodone. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of oxycodone by certain compounds present in grapefruit, resulting in decreased formation of metabolites noroxycodone and noroxymorphone and increased formation of oxymorphone due to a presumed shifting of oxycodone metabolism towards the CYP450 2D6-mediated route. In 12 healthy, nonsmoking volunteers, administration of a single 10 mg oral dose of oxycodone hydrochloride on day 4 of a grapefruit juice treatment phase (200 mL three times a day for 5 days) increased mean oxycodone peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and half-life by 48%, 67% and 17% (from 3.5 to 4.1 hours), respectively, compared to administration during an equivalent water treatment phase. Grapefruit juice also decreased the metabolite-to-parent AUC ratio of noroxycodone by 44% and that of noroxymorphone by 45%. In addition, oxymorphone Cmax and AUC increased by 32% and 56%, but the metabolite-to-parent AUC ratio remained unchanged. Pharmacodynamic changes were modest and only self-reported performance was significantly impaired after grapefruit juice. Analgesic effects were not affected.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should not consume alcoholic beverages or use drug products that contain alcohol during treatment with oxycodone. Any history of alcohol or illicit drug use should be considered when prescribing oxycodone, and therapy initiated at a lower dosage if necessary. Patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of sedation, respiratory depression, and hypotension. Due to a high degree of interpatient variability with respect to grapefruit juice interactions, patients treated with oxycodone may also want to avoid or limit the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice.

acetaminophen food

Applies to: Perloxx (acetaminophen / oxycodone)

GENERALLY AVOID: Chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol may increase the risk of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, which has included rare cases of fatal hepatitis and frank hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation. The proposed mechanism is induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes during chronic alcohol use, which may result in accelerated metabolism of acetaminophen and increased production of potentially hepatotoxic metabolites.

MANAGEMENT: In general, chronic alcoholics should avoid regular or excessive use of acetaminophen. Alternative analgesic/antipyretic therapy may be appropriate in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks per day. However, if acetaminophen is used, these patients should be cautioned not to exceed the recommended dosage (maximum 4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older).

ozanimod food

Applies to: ozanimod

GENERALLY AVOID: Foods that contain large amounts of tyramine may precipitate a hypertensive crisis in patients treated with ozanimod. The proposed mechanism involves potentiation of the tyramine pressor effect due to inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) by the major active metabolites of ozanimod, CC112273 and CC1084037. Monoamine oxidase in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, primarily type A (MAO-A), is the enzyme responsible for metabolizing exogenous amines such as tyramine and preventing them from being absorbed intact. Once absorbed, tyramine is metabolized to octopamine, a substance that is believed to displace norepinephrine from storage granules causing a rise in blood pressure. In vitro, CC112273 and CC1084037 inhibited MAO-B (IC50 values of 5.72 nM and 58 nM, respectively) with more than 1000-fold selectivity over MAO-A (IC50 values >10000 nM). Because of this selectivity, as well as the fact that free plasma concentrations of CC112273 and CC1084037 are less than 8% of the in vitro IC50 values for MAO-B inhibition, ozanimod is expected to have a much lower propensity to cause hypertensive crises than nonselective MAO inhibitors. However, rare cases of hypertensive crisis have occurred during clinical trials for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and ulcerative colitis (UC) and in postmarketing use. In controlled clinical trials, hypertension and blood pressure increases were reported more frequently in patients treated with ozanimod (up to 4.6% in MS patients receiving ozanimod 0.92 mg/day) than in patients treated with interferon beta-1a (MS) or placebo (UC).

Administration of ozanimod with either a high-fat, high-calorie meal (1000 calories; 50% fat) or a low-fat, low-calorie meal (300 calories; 10% fat) had no effects on ozanimod peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration under fasted conditions.

MANAGEMENT: Dietary restriction is not ordinarily required during ozanimod treatment with respect to most foods and beverages that contain tyramine, which usually include aged, fermented, cured, smoked, or pickled foods (e.g., air-dried and fermented meats or fish, aged cheeses, most soybean products, yeast extracts, red wine, beer, sauerkraut). However, certain foods like some of the aged cheeses (e.g., Boursault, Liederkrantz, Mycella, Stilton) and pickled herring may contain very high amounts of tyramine and could potentially cause a hypertensive reaction in patients taking ozanimod, even at recommended dosages, due to increased sensitivity to tyramine. Patients should be advised to avoid the intake of very high levels of tyramine (e.g., greater than 150 mg) and to promptly seek medical attention if they experience potential signs and symptoms of a hypertensive crisis such as severe headache, visual disturbances, confusion, stupor, seizures, chest pain, unexplained nausea or vomiting, and stroke-like symptoms. Blood pressure should be regularly monitored and managed accordingly. Because of the long elimination half-lives of the major active metabolites, these precautions may need to be observed for up to 3 months following the last ozanimod dose. Ozanimod can be administered with or without 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.
