Drug Interaction Report

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inhibitors of the hepatic influx transporters organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and/or 1B3 may increase the plasma concentrations and adverse effects of atrasentan. In clinical studies, coadministration with the OATP1B1 and 1B3 inhibitor cyclosporine increased the mean systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of atrasentan (single dose, 10 mg) by 380% and 430%, respectively. The risk of adverse effects such as edema, hepatotoxicity and anemia may be increased with this combination.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of atrasentan with OATP1B1 and/or 1B3 inhibitors should generally be avoided.

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase the levels of cycloSPORINE in your body and should generally not be consumed during treatment. High blood levels of cycloSPORINE can lead to increased risk of serious side effects on kidney, liver, and nervous system functions. If you regularly consume grapefruits or grapefruit juice, you should be monitored for side effects and/or changes in cycloSPORINE levels. However, do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor. You should also take cycloSPORINE on a consistent schedule with regard to time of day and relation to meals. Let your doctor know if you experience fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), decreased urination, excessive thirst, swelling, weight gain, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, blurred vision, numbness/burning/tingling in the hand and feet, tremors, or convulsions, as they may be symptoms caused by excessive effects of cycloSPORINE.
