DRUG INTERACTIONS
Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of dihydrocodeine with cinacalcet may increase dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, dihydromorphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of dihydrocodeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of cinacalcet could decrease dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations and increase dihydromorphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If cinacalcet is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Dihydrocodeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to dihydromorphine, and by CYP3A4. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Acetaminophen; Chlorpheniramine; Dextromethorphan: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Acetaminophen; Chlorpheniramine; Dextromethorphan; Phenylephrine: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure.

Acetaminophen; Chlorpheniramine; Dextromethorphan; Pseudoephedrine: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Acetaminophen; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with cinacalcet may increase codeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of cinacalcet could decrease codeine plasma concentrations and increase morphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If cinacalcet is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Acetaminophen; Dextromethorphan: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Acetaminophen; Dextromethorphan; Doxylamine: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Acetaminophen; Dextromethorphan; Guaifenesin; Phenylephrine: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Acetaminophen; Dextromethorphan; Guaifenesin; Pseudoephedrine: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure.

Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Acetaminophen; Hydrocodone: (Moderate) Concomitant use of hydrocodone with cinacalcet may increase hydrocodone plasma concentrations and prolong opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. It is recommended to avoid this combination when hydrocodone is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage reduction of hydrocodone until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of cinacalcet could decrease hydrocodone plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy, and potentially lead to a withdrawal syndrome in those with physical dependence to hydrocodone. If cinacalcet is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider increasing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Hydrocodone is a substrate for CYP2D6. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Amiodarone: (Moderate) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Therefore, caution is recommended when coadministering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors, such as amiodarone.
Amoxapine: (Major) Because most cyclic antidepressants are partially metabolized by CYP2D6, caution is advisable during co-administration of amoxapine and potent CYP2D6 inhibitors such as cinacalcet. Elevated plasma concentrations of amoxapine may result in more pronounced anticholinergic effects and the risk of seizures may be increased.
Amoxicillin; Clarithromycin; Omeprazole: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Subjects being treated with 200 mg ketoconazole twice daily for 7 days received a single 90 mg cinacalcet dose on day 5 of therapy. The AUC and Cmax for cinacalcet increased 2.3 to 2.2 times, respectively, compared to 90 mg cinacalcet given alone. Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include clarithromycin. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Amphetamines: (Moderate) Warn patients that there are potentially serious drug interactions between cinacalcet and prescription amphetamine therapy or illicit amphetamine use. The risk of amphetamine toxicity may be increased during concurrent use of potent CYP2D6 inhibitors such as cinacalcet. Amphetamines are partially metabolized by CYP2D6 and have serotonergic properties; inhibition of amphetamine metabolism may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome or other toxicity. If serotonin syndrome occurs, both the amphetamine and CYP2D6 inhibitor should be discontinued and appropriate medical treatment should be implemented.
Anagrelide: (Moderate) Anagrelide has been shown to inhibit CYP1A2. In theory, coadministration of anagrelide with substrates of CYP1A2, including cinacalcet, could lead to increases in the serum concentrations of cinacalcet and, thus, adverse effects. Monitor patients for an increase in toxicity of cinacalcet if anagrelide is coadministered.
Aprepitant, Fosaprepitant: (Moderate) Use caution if cinacalcet and aprepitant, fosaprepitant are used concurrently and monitor for an increase in cinacalcet-related adverse effects for several days after administration of a multi-day aprepitant regimen. Cinacalcet is a CYP3A4 substrate. Aprepitant, when administered as a 3-day oral regimen (125 mg/80 mg/80 mg), is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor and inducer and may increase plasma concentrations of cinacalcet. For example, a 5-day oral aprepitant regimen increased the AUC of another CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam (single dose), by 2.3-fold on day 1 and by 3.3-fold on day 5. After a 3-day oral aprepitant regimen, the AUC of midazolam (given on days 1, 4, 8, and 15) increased by 25% on day 4, and then decreased by 19% and 4% on days 8 and 15, respectively. As a single 125 mg or 40 mg oral dose, the inhibitory effect of aprepitant on CYP3A4 is weak, with the AUC of midazolam increased by 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively. After administration, fosaprepitant is rapidly converted to aprepitant and shares many of the same drug interactions. However, as a single 150 mg intravenous dose, fosaprepitant only weakly inhibits CYP3A4 for a duration of 2 days; there is no evidence of CYP3A4 induction. Fosaprepitant 150 mg IV as a single dose increased the AUC of midazolam (given on days 1 and 4) by approximately 1.8-fold on day 1; there was no effect on day 4. Less than a 2-fold increase in the midazolam AUC is not considered clinically important.
Aripiprazole: (Major) Because aripiprazole is partially metabolized by CYP2D6, the manufacturer recommends that the oral aripiprazole dose be reduced to one-half of the usual dose in patients receiving potent inhibitors of CYP2D6 such as cinacalcet. If these agents are used in combination, the patient should be carefully monitored for aripiprazole-related adverse reactions. In adults receiving 300 mg or 400 mg of Abilify Maintena, dose reductions to 200 mg or 300 mg, respectively, are recommended if a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor is used for more than 14 days. Adults receiving 662 mg or 882 mg of Aristada every 4 weeks should have their Aristada dose reduced to the next lower strength if a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor is used for more than 14 days. For patients receiving Aristada 882 mg every 6 weeks or 1,064 mg every 2 months, reduce the dose to 441 mg every 4 weeks. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients taking 441 mg of Aristada, if tolerated. Because aripiprazole is also metabolized by CYP3A4, patients receiving a combination of a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitor should have their oral aripiprazole dose reduced to one-quarter (25%) of the usual dose with subsequent adjustments based upon clinical response. Adults receiving a combination of a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitor for more than 14 days should have their Abilify Maintena dose reduced from 400 mg/month to 200 mg/month or from 300 mg/month to 160 mg/month, respectively. Avoid use of combination therapy with a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor for more than 14 days in patients receiving 662 mg, 882 mg, or 1,064 mg of Aristada; no dosage adjustment is necessary in patients taking 441 mg of Aristada, if tolerated. Avoid concurrent use of Aristada Initio and strong CYP2D6 inhibitors because the dose of Aristada Initio cannot be modified.
Artemether; Lumefantrine: (Moderate) Lumefantrine is an inhibitor and cinacalcet is a substrate/inhibitor of the CYP2D6 isoenzyme; therefore, coadministration may lead to increased cinacalcet concentrations. Concomitant use warrants caution due to the potential for increased side effects.
Aspirin, ASA; Butalbital; Caffeine; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with cinacalcet may increase codeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of cinacalcet could decrease codeine plasma concentrations and increase morphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If cinacalcet is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Aspirin, ASA; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of dihydrocodeine with cinacalcet may increase dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, dihydromorphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of dihydrocodeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of cinacalcet could decrease dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations and increase dihydromorphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If cinacalcet is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Dihydrocodeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to dihydromorphine, and by CYP3A4. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Aspirin, ASA; Carisoprodol; Codeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of codeine with cinacalcet may increase codeine plasma concentrations, but decrease the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, morphine, resulting in reduced efficacy or symptoms of opioid withdrawal. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage increase of codeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of cinacalcet could decrease codeine plasma concentrations and increase morphine plasma concentrations resulting in prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If cinacalcet is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider reducing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Atazanavir: (Moderate) Caution is warranted when atazanavir is administered with cinacalcet as there is a potential for elevated cinacalcet concentrations. Cinacalcet is a CYP3A4 substrate. Atazanavir is an inhibitor of CYP3A4.
Atazanavir; Cobicistat: (Moderate) Caution is warranted when atazanavir is administered with cinacalcet as there is a potential for elevated cinacalcet concentrations. Cinacalcet is a CYP3A4 substrate. Atazanavir is an inhibitor of CYP3A4. (Moderate) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with cobicistat; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; cobicistat is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration of another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the AUC and Cmax of cinacalcet by 127% and 116%, respectively.
Atomoxetine: (Major) Dosage reduction of atomoxetine is recommended in patients receiving cinacalcet due to the potential for increased atomoxetine exposure and related adverse effects. In children and adolescents up to 70 kg receiving cinacalcet, atomoxetine should be initiated at 0.5 mg/kg/day and only increased to the usual target dose of 1.2 mg/kg/day if symptoms fail to improve after 4 weeks and the initial dose is well tolerated. In children and adolescents over 70 kg and adults receiving cinacalcet, atomoxetine should be initiated at 40 mg/day and only increased to the usual target dose of 80 mg/day if symptoms fail to improve after 4 weeks and the initial dose is well tolerated. inacalcet is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor; atomoxetine is a CYP2D6 substrate. Coadministration of a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor and atomoxetine in extensive metabolizers of CYP2D6, increased atomoxetine steady-state plasma concentrations by approximately 6 to 8-fold. This increase is similar to exposures observed in poor metabolizers. Concurrent use of a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor with atomoxetine in poor metabolizers is not expected to increase atomoxetine exposure.
Barbiturates: (Moderate) Coadministration of cinacalcet with a CYP3A4 enzyme inducer, such as a barbiturate, may result in a decreased effect of cinacalcet.
Boceprevir: (Moderate) Close clinical monitoring is advised when administering cinacalcet with boceprevir due to an increased potential for cinacalcet-related adverse events. If cinacalcet dose adjustments are made, re-adjust the dose upon completion of boceprevir treatment. Although this interaction has not been studied, predictions about the interaction can be made based on the metabolic pathway of cinacalcet. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; boceprevir inhibits this isoenzyme. Coadministration may result in elevated cinacalcet plasma concentrations.
Bosentan: (Moderate) Co-administration of cinacalcet with bosentan, a CYP3A4 enzyme inducer, may result in a decreased effect of cinacalcet. Monitor parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium, and serum phosphorous levels during coadministration.
Brexpiprazole: (Major) Because brexpiprazole is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, the manufacturer recommends that the brexpiprazole dose be reduced to one-half of the usual dose in patients receiving a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor and one-quarter (25%) of the usual dose in patients receiving a moderate to strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 in combination with a moderate to strong inhibitor of CYP2D6. Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6. If these agents are used in combination, the patient should be carefully monitored for brexpiprazole-related adverse reactions. It should be noted that no dosage adjustment is needed in patients taking a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor who are receiving brexpiprazole as adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder because CYP2D6 considerations are already factored into general dosing recommendations.
Brimonidine; Timolol: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including timolol.

Carbamazepine: (Moderate) Co-administration of cinacalcet with a CYP3A4 enzyme inducer may result in a decreased effect of cinacalcet. Agents that may significantly induce the CYP3A4 metabolism of cinacalcet include carbamazepine. Since these medications may increase the metabolism of cinacalcet, intact parathyroid hormone, serum calcium and serum phosphorous levels may need to be monitored.
Carbinoxamine; Dextromethorphan; Pseudoephedrine: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.

Cinacalcet is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Carvedilol: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including carvedilol.
Celecoxib; Tramadol: (Moderate) Coadministration of cinacalcet, a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, with tramadol, a CYP2D6 substrate, may decrease tramadol metabolism. This interaction may result in decreased tramadol efficacy and/or increased tramadol-induced risks of serotonin syndrome or seizures. The analgesic activity of tramadol is due to the activity of both the parent drug and the O-desmethyltramadol metabolite (M1), and M1 formation is dependent on CYP2D6. Therefore, use of tramadol with a CYP2D6-inhibitor may alter tramadol efficacy. In addition, inhibition of CYP2D6 metabolism is expected to result in reduced metabolic clearance of tramadol. This in turn may increase the risk of tramadol-related adverse events including serotonin syndrome and seizures. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by rapid development of hyperthermia, hypertension, myoclonus, rigidity, autonomic instability, mental status changes (e.g., delirium or coma), and in rare cases, death.
Ceritinib: (Major) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with ceritinib; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; ceritinib is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

Clarithromycin: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Subjects being treated with 200 mg ketoconazole twice daily for 7 days received a single 90 mg cinacalcet dose on day 5 of therapy. The AUC and Cmax for cinacalcet increased 2.3 to 2.2 times, respectively, compared to 90 mg cinacalcet given alone. Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include clarithromycin. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Clozapine: (Moderate) Caution is advisable during concurrent use of cinacalcet and clozapine. Cinacalcet is an inhibitor of CYP2D6, one of the isoenzymes responsible for the metabolism of clozapine. Treatment with clozapine has been associated with QT prolongation, torsade de pointes (TdP), cardiac arrest, and sudden death. Elevated plasma concentrations of clozapine occurring through CYP inhibition may potentially increase the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias, sedation, anticholinergic effects, seizures, orthostasis, or other adverse effects. According to the manufacturer, patients receiving clozapine in combination with a CYP2D6 inhibitor should be monitored for adverse reactions. Consideration should be given to reducing the clozapine dose if necessary. If the inhibitor is discontinued after dose adjustments are made, monitor for lack of clozapine effectiveness and consider increasing the clozapine dose if necessary.
Cobicistat: (Moderate) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with cobicistat; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; cobicistat is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

Erythromycin: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Subjects being treated with 200 mg ketoconazole twice daily for 7 days received a single 90 mg cinacalcet dose on day 5 of therapy. The AUC and Cmax for cinacalcet increased 2.3 to 2.2 times, respectively, compared to 90 mg cinacalcet given alone. Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include erythromycin. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Erythromycin; Sulfisoxazole: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme.

Discontinue cinacalcet at least 7 days prior to starting etelcalcetide, and initiate etelcalcetide treatment at 5 mg IV 3 times weekly. Ensure corrected serum calcium is at or above lower limit of normal prior to etelcalcetide initiation. Concurrent use of etelcalcetide with another oral calcium-sensing receptor agonist may result in severe, life-threatening, hypocalcemia.
Flecainide: (Major) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme. Caution is recommended when administering cinacalcet with other CYP2D6 substrates that have a narrow therapeutic range or where large increases in serum concentrations may be associated with significant adverse reactions.

Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include fluconazole. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Fluoxetine: (Moderate) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, such as fluoxetine.
Fosphenytoin: (Moderate) Co-administration of cinacalcet with a CYP3A4 enzyme inducer may result in a decreased effect of cinacalcet. Agents that may significantly induce the CYP3A4 metabolism of cinacalcet include phenytoin and fosphenytoin (which is metabolized to phenytoin). Since these medications may increase the metabolism of cinacalcet, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium and serum phosphorous levels may need to be monitored.
Gefitinib: (Moderate) Monitor for an increase in gefitinib-related adverse reactions if coadministration with cinacalcet is necessary; the risk is increased in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. Based on in vitro data, gefitinib is metabolized to O-desmethyl gefitinib by CYP2D6 and cinacalcet is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor. In healthy CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, the concentration of O-desmethyl gefitinib was not measurable and mean exposure to gefitinib was 2-fold higher compared to extensive metabolizers. The impact of CYP2D6 inhibitors on gefitinib pharmacokinetics has not been evaluated; however, the manufacturer recommends precautions based on exposure in patients with poor CYP2D6 metabolism.
Grapefruit juice: (Major) Grapefruit juice contains a compound that inhibits the CYP3A4 isozyme in the gut wall. Co-administration can potentially decrease hepatic metabolism and increase the serum concentration of cinacalcet. Since the extent to which this interaction occurs is not known, patients should be counseled to avoid grapefruit juice while taking cinacalcet.

Mirabegron: (Moderate) Mirabegron is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor. Exposure of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 isoenzymes such as cinacalcet may be increased when co-administered with mirabegron. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary.
Mitotane: (Moderate) Use caution if mitotane and cinacalcet are used concomitantly, and monitor for decreased efficacy of cinacalcet and a possible change in dosage requirements. Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium and serum phosphorous levels may need to be monitored. Mitotane is a strong CYP3A4 inducer and cinacalcet is a CYP3A4 substrate in vitro; coadministration may result in decreased plasma concentrations of cinacalcet.
Nebivolol: (Major) Avoid the concomitant use of nebivolol and cinacalcet. Nebivolol is metabolized by CYP2D6. Although data are lacking, CYP2D6 inhibitors, such as cinacalcet, could potentially increase nebivolol plasma concentrations via CYP2D6 inhibition; the clinical significance of this potential interaction is unknown, but an increase in adverse effects is possible. If these drugs are coadministered, patients should be monitored for increased toxicity as well as increased therapeutic effect.
Nebivolol; Valsartan: (Major) Avoid the concomitant use of nebivolol and cinacalcet. Nebivolol is metabolized by CYP2D6. Although data are lacking, CYP2D6 inhibitors, such as cinacalcet, could potentially increase nebivolol plasma concentrations via CYP2D6 inhibition; the clinical significance of this potential interaction is unknown, but an increase in adverse effects is possible. If these drugs are coadministered, patients should be monitored for increased toxicity as well as increased therapeutic effect.
Nefazodone: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Subjects being treated with 200 mg ketoconazole twice daily for 7 days received a single 90 mg cinacalcet dose on day 5 of therapy. The AUC and Cmax for cinacalcet increased 2.3 to 2.2 times, respectively, compared to 90 mg cinacalcet given alone. Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include nefazodone. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Nevirapine: (Moderate) Coadministration of cinacalcet with a CYP3A4 enzyme inducer, such as nevirapine, may result in a decreased effect of cinacalcet.

Oliceridine: (Moderate) Monitor patients closely for respiratory depression and sedation at frequent intervals and base subsequent doses on the patient's severity of pain and response to treatment if concomitant administration of oliceridine and cinacalcet is necessary; less frequent dosing of oliceridine may be required. Concomitant use of oliceridine and cinacalcet may increase the plasma concentration of oliceridine, resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects. If cinacalcet is discontinued, consider increasing the oliceridine dose until stable drug effects are achieved and monitor for evidence of opioid withdrawal. Oliceridine is a CYP2D6 substrate and cinacalcet is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor.
Ombitasvir; Paritaprevir; Ritonavir: (Moderate) Concurrent administration of cinacalcet with ritonavir may result in elevated plasma concentrations of cinacalcet. Cinacalcet is a substrate of CYP3A4; ritonavir is a potent inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are administered together.
Oritavancin: (Moderate) Cinacalcet is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6; oritavancin is a weak CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inducer. Plasma concentrations and efficacy of cinacalcet may be reduced if these drugs are administered concurrently. Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium, and serum phosphorous levels may need to be monitored.
Paroxetine: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including paroxetine.
Pazopanib: (Moderate) Pazopanib is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4. Coadministration of pazopanib and cinacalcet, a CYP3A4 substrate, may cause an increase in systemic concentrations of cinacalcet. Use caution when administering these drugs concomitantly.
Peginterferon Alfa-2b: (Moderate) Monitor for adverse effects associated with increased exposure to cinacalcet if peginterferon alfa-2b is coadministered. Peginterferon alfa-2b is a CYP1A2 and CYP2D6 inhibitor, while cinacalcet is a CYP1A2 and CYP2D6 substrate.

Perphenazine; Amitriptyline: (Moderate) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, such as perphenazine.
Phenytoin: (Moderate) Co-administration of cinacalcet with a CYP3A4 enzyme inducer may result in a decreased effect of cinacalcet. Agents that may significantly induce the CYP3A4 metabolism of cinacalcet include phenytoin and fosphenytoin (which is metabolized to phenytoin). Since these medications may increase the metabolism of cinacalcet, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium and serum phosphorous levels may need to be monitored.
Pimozide: (Contraindicated) Coadministration of pimozide and cinacalcet is contraindicated due to the potential for increased pimozide exposure. Elevated concentrations of pimozide can lead to QT prolongation, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death. Cinacalcet is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor; pimozide is a CYP2D6 substrate. Coadministration of pimozide with another strong CYP2D6 inhibitor increased the pimozide AUC by 151%.
Pitolisant: (Major) Initiate pitolisant at 8.9 mg once daily in patients taking cinacalcet; increase pitolisant after 7 days to a maximum dosage of 17.8 mg once daily. If cinacalcet is initiated in a patient on a stable dose of pitolisant, reduce the pitolisant dose by half. Pitolisant is a CYP2D6 substrate; cinacalcet is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor. Coadministration of strong CYP2D6 inhibitors increases pitolisant exposure by 2.2-fold.
Posaconazole: (Moderate) Posaconazole and cinacalcet should be coadministered with caution due to an increased potential for cinacalcet-related adverse events. Posaconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, an isoenzyme partially responsible for the metabolism of cinacalcet. These drugs used in combination may result in elevated cinacalcet plasma concentrations, causing an increased risk for cinacalcet related adverse events.
Promethazine; Dextromethorphan: (Moderate) Use of dextromethorphan with cinacalcet may result in increased dextromethorphan exposure. Cinacalcet inhibits CYP2D6 and dextromethorphan is a CYP2D6 substrate. Monitor for dextromethorphan-related side effects, such as drowsiness, nausea or vomiting, sweating, restlessness, or tremor.
Propafenone: (Major) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme. Caution is recommended when administering cinacalcet with other CYP2D6 substrates that have a narrow therapeutic range or where large increases in serum concentrations may be associated with significant adverse reactions. Patients should be monitored for toxicity if cinacalcet is administered with strong CYP2D6 substrates. Other affected CYP2D6 substrates may include propafenone.
Propranolol: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including propranolol.
Propranolol; Hydrochlorothiazide, HCTZ: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including propranolol.
Ranolazine: (Moderate) Ranolazine is metabolized mainly by CYP3A and to a lesser extent by CYP2D6. Cinacalcet is a known CYP2D6 inhibitor; coadministration with ranolazine may result in increased plasma concentrations of ranolazine. The manufacturer specifies that no dosage adjustment of ranolazine is necessary when coadministering CYP2D6 inhibitors. Until further data are available, it is prudent to cautiously monitor the concurrent use of ranolazine and significant CYP2D6 inhibitors since potential increases in plasma concentrations of ranolazine may result in adverse effects.
Ribociclib: (Moderate) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with ribociclib; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; ribociclib is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration of another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the AUC and Cmax of cinacalcet by 127% and 116%, respectively.
Ribociclib; Letrozole: (Moderate) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with ribociclib; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; ribociclib is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration of another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the AUC and Cmax of cinacalcet by 127% and 116%, respectively.
Risperidone: (Major) Initiate risperidone at a reduced dose in patients receiving cinacalcet as increased plasma concentrations of risperidone and toxicity may occur. Do not exceed 8 mg PO per day of risperidone if these drugs are coadministered. For the long-acting risperidone injection, the current adult dosage should be closely monitored when cinacalcet is initiated or discontinued. An adjustment of the dose may be required. Risperidone is a CYP2D6 substrate; cinacalcet is a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor.
Ritonavir: (Moderate) Concurrent administration of cinacalcet with ritonavir may result in elevated plasma concentrations of cinacalcet. Cinacalcet is a substrate of CYP3A4; ritonavir is a potent inhibitor of this enzyme. Caution and close monitoring are advised if these drugs are administered together.
Rolapitant: (Major) Use caution if cinacalcet and rolapitant are used concurrently, and monitor for cinacalcet-related adverse effects. Cinacalcet is a CYP2D6 substrate and rolapitant is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor; the inhibitory effect of rolapitant is expected to persist beyond 28 days for an unknown duration. Exposure to another CYP2D6 substrate, following a single dose of rolapitant increased about 3-fold on Days 8 and Day 22. The inhibition of CYP2D6 persisted on Day 28 with a 2.3-fold increase in the CYP2D6 substrate concentrations, the last time point measured.
Simeprevir: (Moderate) Simeprevir, a mild CYP1A2 and a mild intestinal CYP3A4 inhibitor, may increase the side effects of cinacalcet, which is a CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 substrate. Monitor PTH and calcium concentrations.
St. John's Wort, Hypericum perforatum: (Moderate) St. John's wort, Hypericum perforatum, is well documented as a CYP3A4 isoenzyme inducer. However, the effect of an interaction with cinacalcet, CYP3A4 substrate. is not known. Coadministration may theoretically lead to increased hepatic metabolism and a subsequent decrease in intended effect of cinacalcet. Patients should be cautioned to avoid concomitant use of these agents.
Tamoxifen: (Moderate) Monitor for decreased efficacy of tamoxifen if coadministration with cinacalcet is necessary. Tamoxifen is metabolized by CYP2D6 to endoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen, both of which are minor metabolites but have 100-fold greater affinity for the estrogen receptor and 30- to 100-fold greater potency in suppressing estrogen-dependent cell proliferation than tamoxifen. Cinacalcet is a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor. In one study, the mean steady-state endoxifen plasma concentration was significantly reduced in patients taking CYP2D6 inhibitors compared to those not taking concomitant CYP2D6 inhibitors. In another study, the mean steady-state plasma concentration of endoxifen in CYP2D6 normal metabolizers who were not receiving CYP2D6 inhibitors were 3.6-fold higher compared to normal metabolizers who were receiving strong CYP2D6 inhibitors; plasma levels in CYP2D6 normal metabolizers receiving strong CYP2D6 inhibitors were similar to levels observed in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers taking no CYP2D6 inhibitors. Some studies have shown that the efficacy of tamoxifen may be reduced when concomitant drugs decrease the levels of potent active metabolites; however, others have failed to demonstrate such an effect. The clinical significance is not well established.
Tamsulosin: (Moderate) Use caution when administering tamsulosin with a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor such as cinacalcet. Tamsulosin is extensively metabolized by CYP2D6 hepatic enzymes. In clinical evaluation, concomitant treatment with a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor resulted in increases in tamsulosin exposure; interactions with moderate CYP2D6 inhibitors have not been evaluated. If concomitant use in necessary, monitor patient closely for increased side effects.
Telaprevir: (Moderate) Close clinical monitoring is advised when administering cinacalcet with telaprevir due to an increased potential for cinacalcet-related adverse events. If cinacalcet dose adjustments are made, re-adjust the dose upon completion of telaprevir treatment. Although this interaction has not been studied, predictions about the interaction can be made based on the metabolic pathway of cinacalcet. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; telaprevir inhibits this isoenzyme. Coadministration may result in elevated cinacalcet plasma concentrations.
Telithromycin: (Major) Concentrations of cinacalcet may be increased with concomitant use of telithromycin. Cinacalcet is a CYP3A4 substrate and telithromycin is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Patients should be monitored for increased side effects.
Teriflunomide: (Moderate) Use caution when administering teriflunomide and cinacalcet concurrently. In vivo data suggest that teriflunomide is a weak inducer of CYP1A2. Coadministration of teriflunomide with CYP1A2 substrates, such as cinacalcet, may decrease cinacalcet exposure and lead to a reduction in efficacy. Monitor serum calcium concentrations.
Thioridazine: (Contraindicated) Coadministration of cinacalcet, a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, and thioridazine, a CYP2D6 substrate, is contraindicated, as concurrent use may result in increased exposure to thioridazine. Elevated thioridazine concentrations would be expected to augment the prolongation of the QTc interval associated with thioridazine and may increase the risk of serious, potentially fatal, cardiac arrhythmias, such as torsade de pointes.
Timolol: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including timolol.
Tramadol: (Moderate) Coadministration of cinacalcet, a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, with tramadol, a CYP2D6 substrate, may decrease tramadol metabolism. This interaction may result in decreased tramadol efficacy and/or increased tramadol-induced risks of serotonin syndrome or seizures. The analgesic activity of tramadol is due to the activity of both the parent drug and the O-desmethyltramadol metabolite (M1), and M1 formation is dependent on CYP2D6. Therefore, use of tramadol with a CYP2D6-inhibitor may alter tramadol efficacy. In addition, inhibition of CYP2D6 metabolism is expected to result in reduced metabolic clearance of tramadol. This in turn may increase the risk of tramadol-related adverse events including serotonin syndrome and seizures. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by rapid development of hyperthermia, hypertension, myoclonus, rigidity, autonomic instability, mental status changes (e.g., delirium or coma), and in rare cases, death.
Tramadol; Acetaminophen: (Moderate) Coadministration of cinacalcet, a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, with tramadol, a CYP2D6 substrate, may decrease tramadol metabolism. This interaction may result in decreased tramadol efficacy and/or increased tramadol-induced risks of serotonin syndrome or seizures. The analgesic activity of tramadol is due to the activity of both the parent drug and the O-desmethyltramadol metabolite (M1), and M1 formation is dependent on CYP2D6. Therefore, use of tramadol with a CYP2D6-inhibitor may alter tramadol efficacy. In addition, inhibition of CYP2D6 metabolism is expected to result in reduced metabolic clearance of tramadol. This in turn may increase the risk of tramadol-related adverse events including serotonin syndrome and seizures. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by rapid development of hyperthermia, hypertension, myoclonus, rigidity, autonomic instability, mental status changes (e.g., delirium or coma), and in rare cases, death.
Trandolapril; Verapamil: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Subjects being treated with 200 mg ketoconazole twice daily for 7 days received a single 90 mg cinacalcet dose on day 5 of therapy. The AUC and Cmax for cinacalcet increased 2.3 to 2.2 times, respectively, compared to 90 mg cinacalcet given alone. Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include verapamil. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Tricyclic antidepressants: (Moderate) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, such as tricyclic antidepressants.
Tucatinib: (Moderate) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with tucatinib; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; tucatinib is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration of another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the AUC and Cmax of cinacalcet by 127% and 116%, respectively.
Valbenazine: (Major) Consider reducing the dose of valbenazine, based on tolerability, during co-administration with a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor, such as cinacalcet. QT prolongation is not clinically significant at valbenazine concentrations expected with recommended dosing; however, concentrations of the active metabolite of valbenazine may be higher in patients taking a strong CYP2D6 inhibitor and QT prolongation may become clinically significant.
Vemurafenib: (Moderate) Concomitant use of vemurafenib and cinacalcet may result in altered concentrations of cinacalcet. Vemurafenib is an inhibitor of CYP1A2 and CYP2D6 and an inducer of CYP3A4. Cinacalcet is a substrate of CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. Use caution and monitor patients for toxicity and efficacy.
Venlafaxine: (Minor) Cinacalcet, a strong in vitro inhibitor of the CYP2D6 cytochrome P450 enzyme, may theoretically increase serum concentrations of other drugs metabolized by this enzyme, including venlafaxine.
Verapamil: (Major) Cinacalcet is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme.

The AUC and Cmax for cinacalcet increased 2.3 to 2.2 times, respectively, compared to 90 mg cinacalcet given alone. Therefore, caution is recommended when co-administering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors. These agents may include verapamil. If a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor during cinacalcet therapy, the manufacturer recommends that dosage adjustment may be needed with close monitoring of PTH and serum calcium concentrations.
Voriconazole: (Moderate) Dose adjustment of cinacalcet may be required if a patient initiates or discontinues therapy with voriconazole; closely monitor iPTH and serum calcium concentrations. Cinacalcet is partially metabolized by CYP3A4; voriconazole is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration of another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the AUC and Cmax of cinacalcet by 127% and 116%, respectively.
Vortioxetine: (Major) Concurrent use of cinacalcet and vortioxetine may result in increased plasma concentrations of vortioxetine due to CYP2D6 inhibition by cinacalcet. Because the primary isoenzyme involved in the metabolim of vortioxetine is CYP2D6, the manufacturer recommends a reduction in the vortioxetine dose by one-half during co-administration with strong inhibitors of CYP2D6. The vortioxetine dose should be increased to the original level when the CYP2D6 inhibitor is discontinued.
Zafirlukast: (Moderate) Caution is recommended when coadministering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors, such as zafirlukast.
Zileuton: (Moderate) Caution is recommended when coadministering cinacalcet with other CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors, such as zileuton.
