Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

lefamulin telisotuzumab vedotin

Applies to: Xenleta (lefamulin) and telisotuzumab vedotin

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: When administered orally, lefamulin may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are primarily metabolized by the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. Based on interaction with midazolam, a sensitive CYP450 3A4 substrate, lefamulin may be a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. When oral midazolam was administered concomitantly with and at 2 or 4 hours after administration of lefamulin tablets, mean midazolam peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 100% and 200%, respectively. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of midazolam were observed when administered concomitantly with lefamulin injection.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when oral lefamulin is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever oral lefamulin is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects. The prescribing information for concomitant medications should be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration of a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor like lefamulin and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

Drug and food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate

lefamulin food/lifestyle

Applies to: Xenleta (lefamulin)

The following interaction applies only if you are taking lefamulin (Xenleta) orally:

Food may interfere with the absorption of lefamulin, which may lead to lower blood levels of the medication and possibly reduced effectiveness. You should take lefamulin at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. It is best to avoid or limit the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with lefamulin, as it may increase blood levels of the medication and increase side effects. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.

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.
