Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

digoxin mitapivat

Applies to: digoxin and mitapivat

MONITOR: Coadministration with mitapivat may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Mitapivat is a P-gp inhibitor in vitro. However, clinical data are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when mitapivat is used concomitantly with medications that are substrates of P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever mitapivat is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

GENERALLY AVOID: Theoretically, the coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of mitapivat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. The extent and clinical significance are unknown. 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. Moreover, pharmacokinetic alterations associated with interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability.

MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid or limit consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during therapy with mitapivat if possible. If concomitant use is unavoidable, close monitoring of hemoglobin levels and for the development of adverse effects such as atrial fibrillation, gastroenteritis, rib fracture, musculoskeletal pain, arthralgia, increased urate levels, and in males, for decreased estrone and estradiol levels, is recommended. The product labeling should be consulted for dose adjustments of mitapivat in the event of the development of adverse reaction or hemoglobin levels above normal.

digoxin food

Applies to: digoxin

Administration of digoxin with a high-fiber meal has been shown to decrease its bioavailability by almost 20%. Fiber can sequester up to 45% of the drug when given orally. Patients should be advised to maintain a regular diet without significant fluctuation in fiber intake while digoxin is being titrated.

Grapefruit juice may modestly increase the plasma concentrations of digoxin. The mechanism is increased absorption of digoxin due to mild inhibition of intestinal P-glycoprotein by certain compounds present in grapefruits. In 12 healthy volunteers, administration of grapefruit juice with and 30 minutes before, as well as 3.5, 7.5, and 11.5 hours after a single digoxin dose (0.5 mg) increased the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of digoxin by just 9% compared to administration with water. Moreover, P-glycoprotein genetic polymorphism does not appear to influence the magnitude of the effects of grapefruit juice on digoxin. Thus, the interaction is unlikely to be of clinical significance.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
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.
