RIMEGEPANT Drug Interactions: What You Need to Know

INTERACTIONS

• Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant administration. ( 7.1 )
• Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Avoid another dose within 48 hours when administered with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. ( 7.1 )
• Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant administration. ( 7.2 )
• Potent Inhibitors of P-gp: Avoid another dose of NURTEC ODT within 48 hours when administered with a potent P-gp inhibitor. ( 7.3 )

7.1 CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 results in a significant increase in rimegepant exposure. Avoid concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> . Concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 may result in increased exposure of rimegepant. Avoid another dose of NURTEC ODT within 48 hours when it is concomitantly administered with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> .

7.2 CYP3A Inducers Concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A can result in a significant reduction in rimegepant exposure, which may lead to loss of efficacy of NURTEC ODT. Avoid concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with strong or moderate inducers of CYP3A <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> . 7.3 P-gp Inhibitors Concomitant administration of NURTEC ODT with potent inhibitors of P-gp (e.g., amiodarone, cyclosporine, lapatinib, quinidine, ranolazine) may result in increased exposure of rimegepant. Avoid another dose of NURTEC ODT within 48 hours when it is concomitantly administered with potent inhibitors of P-gp <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> .

NURTEC ODT is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to rimegepant, NURTEC ODT, or any of its components. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and delayed serious hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to rimegepant, NURTEC ODT, or to any of its components. ( 4 )

AND PRECAUTIONS

• Hypersensitivity Reactions: If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue NURTEC ODT and initiate appropriate therapy. Severe hypersensitivity reactions have included anaphylaxis, dyspnea, and rash, and can occur days after administration. ( 5.1 )
• Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur. ( 5.2 )
• Raynaud’s Phenomenon: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur. ( 5.3 )

5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis , dyspnea, and rash, have occurred in patients treated with NURTEC ODT. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration, and delayed serious hypersensitivity has occurred. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue NURTEC ODT and initiate appropriate therapy <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Contraindications (4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1 , 6.2) ]</span>.

5.2 Hypertension Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of CGRP antagonists, including NURTEC ODT, in the postmarketing setting. Some of the patients who developed new-onset hypertension had risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring initiation of pharmacological treatment for hypertension and, in some cases, hospitalization. Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment, but was most frequently reported within 7 days of therapy initiation. NURTEC ODT was discontinued in many of the reported cases. Monitor patients treated with NURTEC ODT for new-onset hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of NURTEC ODT is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology or blood pressure is inadequately controlled.

5.3 Raynaud’s Phenomenon Development of Raynaud’s phenomenon and recurrence or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon have been reported in the postmarketing setting following the use of CGRP antagonists, including NURTEC ODT. In reported cases with small molecule CGRP antagonists, symptom onset occurred a median of 1.5 days following dosing. Many of the cases reported serious outcomes, including hospitalizations and disability, generally related to debilitating pain. In most reported cases, discontinuation of the CGRP antagonist resulted in resolution of symptoms. NURTEC ODT should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon develop, and patients should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if symptoms do not resolve. Patients with a history of Raynaud’s phenomenon should be monitored for, and informed about the possibility of, worsening or recurrence of signs and symptoms.
