Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR: Coadministration with osilodrostat may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 1A2, 2C19, 2D6, and/or 3A4. Osilodrostat has been shown to be a moderate inhibitor of CYP450 1A2, a mild to borderline moderate inhibitor of CYP450 2C19, and a weak inhibitor of CYP450 2D6 and 3A4. In a pharmacokinetic study with 20 healthy volunteers using a single 50 mg dose of osilodrostat and a probe drug cocktail, osilodrostat increased the exposures to caffeine (CYP450 1A2 substrate), omeprazole (CYP450 2C19 substrate), dextromethorphan (CYP450 2D6 substrate), and midazolam (CYP450 3A4/5 substrate) by 2.5-, 1.9-, 1.5- and 1.5-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when osilodrostat is used concurrently with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2, 2C19, 2D6 and/or 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever osilodrostat is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of zopiclone and eszopiclone. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of eszopiclone (the S-enantiomer of zopiclone) with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal may delay the onset of hypnotic effects. In healthy adults, administration of a 3 mg dose of eszopiclone after a high-fat meal decreased the mean peak plasma drug concentration (Cmax) by 21% and delayed the time to reach peak plasma drug concentration (Tmax) by approximately 1 hour. Theoretically, this interaction should also affect racemic zopiclone.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving zopiclone or eszopiclone should be advised to avoid consumption of alcohol. For faster sleep onset, it may be advisable to not administer eszopiclone and zopiclone with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal.
