Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

rifAMPin aprocitentan

Applies to: rifampin and Tryvio (aprocitentan)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase or UGT) enzymes may decrease the systemic exposure and effects of aprocitentan, which is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1 and UGT2B7. Some UGT inducers are associated with similar adverse effects to those of aprocitentan, such as hepatotoxicity (e.g., alcohol, carbamazepine, efavirenz, fosphenytoin, phenytoin, rifampin). It is unclear if the use of aprocitentan with these substances could increase the risk of similar adverse effects. Clinical data examining aprocitentan with inducers of UGT are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring for reduced efficacy may be advised if aprocitentan is used with a UGT inducer. If the UGT inducer also shares a similar adverse effect profile with aprocitentan, like hepatotoxicity, additional monitoring for the adverse effect in question may also be recommended. Additional monitoring may also be beneficial if a UGT inducer is added to or withdrawn from the patient's regimen during aprocitentan therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

rifAMPin food

Applies to: rifampin

Food can decrease the levels of rifAMPin in your body. Taking rifAMPin on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal) will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking rifAMPin because alcohol use may increase the risk of damage to your liver. It is important to seek immediate medical care if you experience any severe side effects or symptoms of liver damage such as fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

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.
