Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

bicalutamide olaparib

Applies to: bicalutamide and olaparib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of olaparib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a drug interaction study with 57 patients, olaparib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 1.4- and 2.7-fold, respectively, during coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor itraconazole. Simulations using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models suggest that a moderate inhibitor (fluconazole) may increase olaparib Cmax by 1.1-fold and AUC by 2.2-fold. No data are available for use with other, less potent inhibitors. Increased exposure to olaparib may increase the risk of adverse effects such as hematologic toxicity, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain or discomfort.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during concomitant use of olaparib with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. A dosage reduction may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Major

olaparib food

Applies to: olaparib

Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or Seville oranges during treatment with olaparib. Doing so can significantly increase the blood levels of olaparib and increase the risk and/or severity of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or discomfort, lung problems, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. 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.

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
