Relevance: 03.07.2019 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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 may interfere with the absorption of ixazomib, which may lead to lower blood levels of the medication and possibly reduced effectiveness. You should take ixazomib at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. On days when you take both ixazomib and dexamethasone, make sure you do not take them at the same time, since ixazomib should be taken on an empty stomach while dexamethasone should be taken with food to prevent irritation and injury to the stomach.

Professional:

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral bioavailability of ixazomib. A food effect study found that administration of a single 4 mg dose of ixazomib with a high-fat meal decreased ixazomib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 69% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 28%.

MANAGEMENT: Ixazomib should be taken at least one hour before or two hours after eating. On days when both ixazomib and dexamethasone are administered, advise patients to separate dosing times, since dexamethasone should be taken with food while ixazomib should be taken on an empty stomach.
