Interactions between your drugs
glecaprevir lusutrombopag
Applies to: glecaprevir / pibrentasvir, lusutrombopag
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma concentrations of lusutrombopag, which is a substrate of both efflux transporter proteins. Coadministration with cyclosporine, a P-gp and BCRP dual inhibitor, increased lusutrombopag peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 20% each compared with lusutrombopag administration alone.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if lusutrombopag is prescribed in combination with P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitors. Pharmacologic response to lusutrombopag should be monitored more closely following initiation, discontinuation, or change of dosage of the concomitant P-gp or BCRP inhibitor.

Drug and food interactions
glecaprevir food
Applies to: glecaprevir / pibrentasvir
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. Relative to fasting conditions, mean glecaprevir systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 83% to 163% and mean pibrentasvir AUC increased by 40% to 53% when administered with moderate to high fat meals.
MANAGEMENT: Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir should be administered with food.
