Interactions between your drugs

Minor

tolvaptan vibegron

Applies to: tolvaptan and vibegron

Coadministration with moderate or potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may increase the plasma concentrations (AUC) of vibegron, which has been shown in vitro to be a substrate of the isoenzyme and transporter. Although CYP450 3A4 is the predominant enzyme in vibegron metabolism, metabolic pathways have only a minor role in the elimination of vibegron. In a phase 3 Japanese study, coadministration of vibegron (100 mg) with moderate (diltiazem) and potent (ketoconazole) inhibitors of CYP450 3A4, resulted in a 1.6- and 2.1-fold increase in vibegron AUC, respectively, which was not considered clinically significant. No dosage adjustment is recommended when vibegron is administered in combination with moderate or potent CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tolvaptan food

Applies to: tolvaptan

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of tolvaptan. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. According to the product labeling, administration of tolvaptan with grapefruit juice resulted in a 1.8-fold increase in tolvaptan systemic exposure. The clinical significance is unknown, although increased pharmacologic effects may be expected. Too rapid correction of hyponatremia increases the risk of osmotic demyelination syndrome, which is associated with dysarthria, mutism, dysphagia, lethargy, affective changes, spastic quadriparesis, seizures, coma, and death.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tolvaptan should avoid consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice.

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.
