Interactions between your drugs
abiraterone bictegravir
Applies to: abiraterone, Biktarvy (bictegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide)
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma concentrations of bictegravir. According to the product labeling, bictegravir is a substrate of both P-gp and BCRP; however, the extent to which each enzymatic pathway contributes to the metabolic clearance of bictegravir has not been reported.
MANAGEMENT: The use of bictegravir with P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitors should generally be avoided. If concomitant use is required, caution and close clinical and laboratory monitoring, including renal function, are recommended. Dosage adjustments may be required whenever a P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions
abiraterone food
Applies to: abiraterone
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may significantly increase the oral bioavailability of some formulations of abiraterone acetate. Compared to administration in the fasted state, abiraterone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were approximately 7- and 5-fold higher, respectively, when a single dose of abiraterone acetate was administered with a low-fat meal (7% fat; 300 calories) and approximately 17- and 10-fold higher, respectively, when it was administered with a high-fat meal (57% fat; 825 calories). Given the normal variation in the content and composition of meals, taking abiraterone acetate with meals has the potential to result in increased and highly variable exposures. The safety of these increased exposures during multiple dosing has not been assessed. However, the abiraterone acetate 125 mg tablet, commonly marketed as Yonsa, was found to have an approximately 6.5-fold higher Cmax and 4.4-fold higher AUC when a single dose of 500 mg (4 tablets) was administered with a high-fat meal (56% - 60% fat, 900 - 1000 calories) compared to overnight fasting in healthy volunteers. These differences were not considered clinically significant for this formulation.
MANAGEMENT: Some formulations of abiraterone acetate must be taken on an empty stomach. No food should be consumed for at least two hours before and one hour after the abiraterone acetate dose. However, the abiraterone acetate 125 mg tablet, commonly marketed as Yonsa, can be taken with or without food. The manufacturer's product labeling should be consulted for specific guidance.

tenofovir food
Applies to: Biktarvy (bictegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide)
Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.
