Interactions between your drugs
ivacaftor xanomeline
Applies to: ivacaftor / lumacaftor, trospium / xanomeline
MONITOR: Xanomeline may increase the concentration of sensitive oral CYP450 3A4 substrates and/or narrow therapeutic index (NTI) oral P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates. In vitro data suggest that xanomeline may transiently inhibit CYP450 3A4 and P-gp locally in the intestine after dosing. Xanomeline does not appear to inhibit CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp systemically. Clinical data evaluating this interaction are not available.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring are advised if xanomeline is used in combination with an orally administered CYP450 3A4 sensitive substrate and/or NTI P-gp substrate for which a small change in substrate plasma concentration could lead to serious toxicities. The labeling of the substrate may be consulted for specific monitoring and dose adjustment recommendations should adverse reactions result from this combination.

Drug and food interactions
trospium food
Applies to: trospium / xanomeline
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral absorption and bioavailability of trospium chloride. According to the product labeling, administration of trospium chloride with a high fat meal reduced the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 70% to 80% compared to administration while fasting.
MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, trospium chloride should be administered at least 1 hour before meals or on an empty stomach. If trospium chloride is administered as a combination with xanomeline, the manufacturer recommends administering the capsules at least 1 hour before a meal or at least 2 hours after a meal. Capsules should be taken whole.

ivacaftor food
Applies to: ivacaftor / lumacaftor
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ivacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Elexacaftor and tezacaftor are also CYP450 3A4 substrates in vitro and may interact similarly with grapefruit juice, whereas lumacaftor is not expected to interact.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: According to prescribing information, systemic exposure to ivacaftor increased approximately 2.5- to 4-fold, systemic exposure to elexacaftor increased approximately 1.9- to 2.5-fold, and systemic exposure to lumacaftor increased approximately 2-fold following administration with fat-containing foods relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ivacaftor-containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit or Seville oranges. All ivacaftor-containing medications should be administered with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.

Drug Interaction Classification
| Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit. | |
| Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances. | |
| 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. | |
