MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of mipomersen with other agents known to induce hepatotoxicity may potentiate the risk of liver injury. Mipomersen can cause elevations in serum transaminases and hepatic steatosis. In a premarketing clinical trial, 12% (4/34) of patients treated with mipomersen had at least one elevation in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or greater, and 9% (3/34) had at least one elevation in ALT 5 times ULN or greater, compared to 0% of the 17 patients treated with placebo. There were no concomitant clinically meaningful elevations of total bilirubin, international normalized ratio (INR), or partial thromboplastin time (PTT). Mipomersen also increases hepatic fat, with or without concomitant increases in transaminases. In clinical trials of patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia, the median absolute increase in hepatic fat was 10% after 26 weeks of treatment, from 0% at baseline, measured by magnetic resonance imaging. The long-term consequences of hepatic steatosis associated with mipomersen therapy are unknown. Hepatic steatosis may be a risk factor for progressive liver disease, including steatohepatitis and cirrhosis.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if mipomersen is used with other potentially hepatotoxic agents (e.g., acetaminophen; alcohol; amiodarone; androgens and anabolic steroids; antituberculous agents; azole antifungal agents; ACE inhibitors; cyclosporine (high dosages); disulfiram; endothelin receptor antagonists; interferons; kinase inhibitors; methotrexate; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents; nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors; proteasome inhibitors; retinoids; tamoxifen; tetracyclines; thiazolidinediones; tolvaptan; vincristine; zileuton; anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, hydantoins, felbamate, and valproic acid; other lipid-lowering medications such as fenofibrate, lomitapide, niacin, and statins; herbals and nutritional supplements such as black cohosh, chaparral, comfrey, DHEA, kava, pennyroyal oil, and red yeast rice). Mipomersen has not been studied with other LDL-lowering agents that can also increase hepatic fat, thus concomitant use is not recommended. Patients treated with mipomersen should have serum ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin measured prior to initiation of treatment and regularly during treatment in accordance with the product labeling, and the dosing adjusted or interrupted as necessary. Since alcohol may increase levels of hepatic fat and induce or exacerbate liver injury, the manufacturer recommends that patients taking mipomersen not consume more than one alcoholic drink per day. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience potential signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity such as fever, rash, itching, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, malaise, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, pale stools, and jaundice.

Drug and food interactions
mipomersen food
Applies to: mipomersen
Because mipomersen may cause liver problems, you should have no more than one alcoholic drink per day. Call your doctor immediately if you have fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark colored urine, light colored stools, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist 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.
tezacaftor food
Applies to: deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, and vanzacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. 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. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with fat-containing food may increase the oral bioavailability of vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor. Administration with a fat containing meal increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 4- (low-fat meal) to 6- (high-fat meal) fold. While deutivacaftor AUC increased approximately 3- (low-fat meal) to 4- (high-fat meal) fold, relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, vanzacaftor -containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit. To improve absorption, patients should be advised to take vanzacaftor and/or deutivacaftor containing medications with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products at approximately the same time of the day. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.
