CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of fezolinetant, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In clinical drug interaction studies, coadministration of the potent CYP450 1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 80% and 840%, respectively. Likewise, the moderate CYP450 1A2 inhibitor, mexiletine, is predicted through physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to increase the Cmax and AUC of fezolinetant by 40% and 360%, respectively. The weak CYP450 1A2 inhibitor cimetidine is also predicted via PBPK to increase the Cmax and AUC of fezolinetant by 30% and 100%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of fezolinetant with CYP450 1A2 inhibitors is considered contraindicated.

Consuming food or beverages that contain caffeine (e.G., chocolate, coffee, cola drinks, energy drinks, tea) is not recommended while taking fezolinetant. Caffeine may significantly increase the levels of fezolinetant in the blood. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 including grapefruit or grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of leniolisib, which undergoes extensive CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall and liver. 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of leniolisib. Some authorities recommend to avoid grapefruit products during leniolisib treatment (UK).
