Drug Interaction Report

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B3 hepatic uptake transporter and/or the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) may significantly increase the plasma concentrations and effects of zavegepant, which is a substrate of these transporters. When single-dose oral zavegepant (100 mg) was administered with the OATP 1B3 and NTCP inhibitor and strong CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifampin, at steady state, zavegepant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 2.2- and 2.3-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of zavegepant with OATP 1B3 and/or NTCP inhibitors should generally be avoided.

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.
