| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Bortezomib/Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Vitamin C can form a complex with the boronic acid moiety of the bortezomib molecule, preventing its absorption into cells.(1-4) This may protect normal tissue in the body, which may have higher levels of Vitamin C.(5) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent administration of Vitamin C may result in decreased bortezomib activity.(1-4) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Instruct patients receiving bortezomib therapy not to begin taking vitamin C supplements without consulting their oncologist first. Patients who are instructed to take vitamin C should follow their oncologist's instructions on how to separate dosages and should be carefully monitored for bortezomib efficacy. DISCUSSION: An in vitro study with human plasma and multiple myeloma cells found that high levels of vitamin C (following 1 gram/day of ascorbic acid for 4 days) decreased bortezomib effectiveness by 26%. An in vivo study in mice found that vitamin C administration with bortezomib completely blocked the response of bortezomib.(6) An in vitro study in rat Schwann cells and myeloma cells(4) and an in vivo study in mice(7) found that delayed administration of vitamin C had no effect on bortezomib effects. In an in vivo study in multiple myeloma patients, concurrent ascorbic acid, arsenic trioxide, bortezomib, and high-dose melphalan in which ascorbic acid was administered close to bortezomib, the combination was safe and well tolerated, but produced no changes in response rates.(8) In another in vivo study in multiple myeloma patients, a regimen of ascorbic acid, bortezomib, and melphalan in which bortezomib was administered in the morning and ascorbic acid in the evening was found to be safe and efficacious, with 74% of patients responding to therapy.(9) |

| Oral Iron Supplements/Antacids and Selected Minerals SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Some antacids may bind to iron, preventing its absorption. Alterations in gastric pH by antacids may also play a role. Iron may bind to other minerals such as calcium, manganese, tin, and zinc in the GI tract. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of an antacid or minerals may decrease the absorption of orally administered iron. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The interaction with some combinations may be affected by the presence or absence of food. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Iron supplements should not be taken within 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids, calcium, manganese, or zinc.(1) Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of calcium and/or magnesium salts with antacid properties to interact as well. DISCUSSION: Magnesium hydroxide has been shown to inhibit the absorption of elemental iron,(2) although other studies have shown conflicting results.(3,4) Sodium bicarbonate has been shown to decrease the absorption of iron by 50%.(3) In a study in 61 healthy subjects, calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate inhibited iron absorption when taken with food. However, in the fasted state, calcium carbonate had no effect on iron absorption. In the fasted state, calcium citrate and calcium phosphate decreased iron absorption by 49% and 62%, respectively,(6) In a study in 23 healthy subjects, calcium acetate and calcium carbonate decreased the area-under-curve (AUC) of elemental iron (65 mg) by 27% and 19%, respectively.(7) In a study, manganese decreased iron absorption. A ratio of 5:1 of zinc:iron decreased iron absorption by 56%.(8) In a study, inorganic iron decreased zinc absorption.(9) In another study, ferrous sulfate decreased the absorption of zinc sulfate in a concentration dependent manner; however, heme chloride had no effect on zinc sulfate.(10) In a study in premature infants, administration of liquid zinc and iron supplements between feedings decreased iron uptake; however, no effect was seen when the supplements were mixed with feedings.(11) One or more of the drug pairs linked to this monograph have been included in a list of interactions that could be considered for classification as "non-interruptive" in EHR systems. This DDI subset was vetted by an expert panel commissioned by the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology. |

| Coumarin Anticoagulants/Glucosamine and-or Chondroitin SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The exact mechanism is unknown, but may be the result of additive or synergistic effects on coagulation. Glucosamine is a component of heparin(1) and chondroitin is a component of danaparoid.(2) Glucosamine has been shown not to inhibit CYP2C9,(3) thus inhibition of warfarin metabolism is thought to be unlikely. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of glucosamine-chondroitin may result in increased effects on coagulation, including elevated International Normalized Ratio (INR) and bleeding. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Use caution with adding or discontinuing glucosamine-chondroitin to warfarin therapy. Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy closely for elevated INR and signs of bleeding. Patients who discontinue glucosamine-chondroitin may need their warfarin dosage adjusted to maintain therapeutic INRs. If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory test (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. The time of highest risk for a coumarin-type drug interaction is when the precipitant drug is initiated or discontinued. Contact the prescriber before initiating, altering the dose or discontinuing either drug. DISCUSSION: There have been numerous reports of increased INR following the addition of glucosamine, glucosamine-chondroitin, or chondroitin alone to warfarin therapy, including 20 from the United States Food Drug Administration (US FDA), 22 from the World Health Organization (WHO), 3 from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA), and 2 published reports. INR values typically increased between two and 20 days after the addition of glucosamine and/or chondroitin to warfarin therapy. In most cases, patients were asymptomatic; however, there were at least two reports of bleeding.(4-8) There has also been one report involving glucosamine and acenocoumarol.(9) |

| Bictegravir/Polyvalent Cations; Sucralfate SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Polyvalent cations and sucralfate may bind to bictegravir in the GI tract, preventing its absorption.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Polyvalent cations and sucralfate may reduce levels and clinical effectiveness of bictegravir.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Bictegravir must be taken 2 hours before or 6 hours after polyvalent cations or sucralfate. Medicines containing calcium can be taken together with bictegravir if taken with food.(1) Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of polyvalent cations to interact as well. DISCUSSION: Simultaneous administration of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide (20 ml) in a fasted state with bictegravir (50 mg single dose) decreased bictegravir maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by 80% and 79%, respectively.(1) Administration of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide (20 ml) 2 hours after bictegravir (50 mg single dose) in a fasted state decreased bictegravir Cmax and AUC by 7% and 13%, respectively.(1) Administration of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide (20 ml) 2 hours before bictegravir (50 mg single dose) in a fasted state decreased bictegravir Cmax and AUC by 58% and 52%, respectively.(1) Simultaneous administration of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide (20 ml) in a fed state with bictegravir (50 mg single dose) decreased bictegravir Cmax and AUC by 49% and 47%, respectively.(1) Simultaneous administration of calcium carbonate (1200 mg single dose) in a fasted state with bictegravir (50 mg single dose) decreased bictegravir Cmax and AUC by 42% and 33%, respectively.(1) Simultaneous administration of calcium carbonate (1200 mg single dose) in a fed state with bictegravir (50 mg single dose) decreased bictegravir Cmax by 10% and increased AUC 3%, respectively.(1) Simultaneous administration of ferrous fumarate (324 mg single dose) in a fasted state with bictegravir (50 mg single dose) decreased bictegravir Cmax and AUC by 71% and 63%, respectively.(1) Simultaneous administration of ferrous fumarate (324 mg single dose) in a fed state with bictegravir (50 mg single dose) decreased bictegravir Cmax and AUC by 25% and 16%, respectively.(1) |
