Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

armodafinil eslicarbazepine

Applies to: Nuvigil (armodafinil) and eslicarbazepine

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer), which are both partially metabolized by the isoenzyme.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to modafinil or armodafinil should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Dose adjustments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

armodafinil food

Applies to: Nuvigil (armodafinil)

Administration with food may delay the absorption of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer) without significantly affecting their overall bioavailability. According to the product labeling, modafinil's absorption may be delayed by approximately one hour if taken with food. Similarly, the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of armodafinil may be delayed by approximately 2 to 4 hours in the fed state.

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.
