Drug Interaction Report

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The gastrointestinal absorption of trientine may be decreased in the presence of food, resulting in reduced therapeutic effects.

MANAGEMENT: Trientine should be administered on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals and at least one hour apart from any other food, drug, or milk.

MONITOR: Odevixibat may affect absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (FSV) including vitamin A, D, E, and K. In clinical studies, new onset or worsening of existing FSV deficiency was reported in 5% of placebo-treated patients, and in 16% of odevixibat-treated 120 mcg/kg/day patients. However, none of the odevixibat-treated 40 mcg/kg/day patients had new onset or worsening of existing FSV deficiency.

MANAGEMENT: Clinical and laboratory monitoring of FSV levels is recommended at baseline and during treatment with odevixibat. If FSV deficiency is diagnosed, supplement with FSV. Odevixibat should be discontinued if FSV deficiency persists or worsens despite adequate FSV supplementation.

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent oral administration of mineral supplements or mineral-containing products may block the absorption of trientine, and vice versa. The mechanism is trientine chelation of polyvalent metal ions resulting in a nonabsorbable complex.

MANAGEMENT: In general, mineral supplements or mineral-containing products (e.g., antacids) should not be used in patients treated with trientine. If concomitant use is unavoidable, separation of administration times by at least two hours is advisable.
