Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR: Coadministration with fenofibrate may increase the plasma concentrations and risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, and 2C9 isoenzymes. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to fenofibrate-mediated inhibition of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, and 2C9.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advised if fenofibrate is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, or 2C9 isoenzymes, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever fenofibrate is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the variability in oral absorption and bioavailability of avatrombopag. According to the product labeling, avatrombopag peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were not affected when administered with either a low-fat (500 calories; 3 g fat, 15 g proteins, 108 g carbohydrates) or high-fat (918 calories; 59 g fat, 39 g proteins, 59 g carbohydrates) meal. However, the variability of avatrombopag exposure was reduced by 40% to 60% with food, and the time to reach Cmax was delayed by 0 to 2 hours relative to the fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure consistent absorption and plasma drug levels, avatrombopag should be taken with food.
