Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

atomoxetine rolapitant

Applies to: Strattera (atomoxetine) and Varubi IV (rolapitant)

MONITOR: Coadministration with rolapitant may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2D6 isoenzyme. Rolapitant is a moderate CYP450 2D6 inhibitor, with inhibitory effect lasting at least 7 days after a single dose. When a 30 mg dose of dextromethorphan, a CYP450 2D6 probe substrate, was administered with a 180 mg dose of rolapitant on day 1 of a pharmacokinetic study, dextromethorphan peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 120% and 160%, respectively. When dextromethorphan was administered on day 8 without rolapitant, Cmax and AUC increased by 180% and 230%, respectively. The duration of CYP450 2D6 inhibition was not studied beyond 7 days and may last longer.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when rolapitant is prescribed with drugs that are significantly metabolized by CYP450 2D6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever rolapitant is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Due to the prolonged duration of CYP450 2D6 inhibition by rolapitant, prolonged monitoring for adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2D6 may be required for at least 28 days after administration of rolapitant.

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.
