Moderate

loratadine dasatinib

Applies to: Tavist ND (loratadine) and Sprycel (dasatinib)

MONITOR: Coadministration with dasatinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4 activity by dasatinib, which is a time-dependent inhibitor of the isoenzyme. In a pharmacokinetic study of 54 healthy subjects, administration of simvastatin with a single 100 mg dose of dasatinib resulted in a 37% and 20% increase in simvastatin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC), respectively, compared to administration without dasatinib. Other CYP450 3A4 substrates may be similarly affected.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if dasatinib must be used concurrently with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever dasatinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

dasatinib food

Applies to: Sprycel (dasatinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of dasatinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict. Because dasatinib prolongs the QT interval, high plasma levels of dasatinib may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with dasatinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. Some authorities recommend close monitoring for toxicity (e.g., myelosuppression, bleeding complications, fluid retention, bradycardia or other conduction disturbances) and a reduction of dasatinib dosage to a range of 20 to 40 mg daily should be considered if there are no alternatives and concomitant use with a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor is necessary.

loratadine food

Applies to: Tavist ND (loratadine)

Theoretically, grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of loratadine as it does other drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 enzymatic pathway. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. The clinical significance of this potential interaction is unknown. Reported interactions with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors like clarithromycin, erythromycin and ketoconazole have produced substantial increases in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of loratadine and its active metabolite, descarboethoxyloratadine, without associated changes in the overall safety profile of the drug.

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.
