When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug interaction with food or lifestyle.

Consumer:

Food can enhance the levels of pretomanid in your body. Pretomanid should be taken just after eating food. Do not take it on an empty stomach. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Swallow tablets whole. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets.

Professional:

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of pretomanid. The mechanism has not been reported. Compared with the fasted state, oral administration of pretomanid with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively) increased mean systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of pretomanid by 88% and 76%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, pretomanid should be administered with food. Tablets should be swallowed whole.
