Drug Interaction Report

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of ospemifene with estrogens or other estrogen agonists/antagonists has not been evaluated. Safety and efficacy of this combination are unknown.

MANAGEMENT: Due to the lack of clinical data, concomitant use of ospemifene with estrogens or other estrogen agonists/antagonists is not recommended.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of ospemifene. In a cross-study comparison, administration of a single 60 mg dose of ospemifene with a high-fat/high-calorie meal (860 kcal) in postmenopausal women increased ospemifene peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 2.3- and 1.7-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasted condition. Elimination half-life and time to maximum concentration (Tmax) were not altered. In two separate food effect studies where different ospemifene tablet formulations were given to healthy male volunteers, ospemifene Cmax and AUC increased by 2.3- and 1.8-fold, respectively, with a low-fat/low-calorie meal (300 kcal) and 3.6- and 2.7-fold, respectively, with a high-fat/high-calorie meal (860 kcal) relative to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Ospemifene should be taken once daily with food.
