Interactions between your drugs
naldemedine xanomeline
Applies to: naldemedine, 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.

naldemedine food
Applies to: naldemedine
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of naldemedine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In pharmacokinetic studies, naldemedine systemic exposure (AUC) was increased approximately 90% by the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor fluconazole and nearly 200% by the potent inhibitor itraconazole. The interaction has not been studied with grapefruit juice. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased exposure to naldemedine may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms such as hyperhidrosis, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, chills, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, and yawning.
Food does not significantly affect the overall bioavailability of naldemedine. When administered with a high-fat meal, the rate of naldemedine absorption was decreased, but not the extent. Specifically, naldemedine peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was decreased by approximately 35% and time to achieve Cmax was delayed from 0.75 hours in the fasted state to 2.5 hours in the fed state, while naldemedine AUC was not significantly changed.
MANAGEMENT: Naldemedine may be taken with or without food. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with naldemedine.

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. | |
