Interaction entre Exénatide et Répaglinide

• Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin: Patients taking an insulin secretagogue or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia.

Reduction in the dose of insulin secretagogues or insulin may be necessary.

If there is worsening glycemic control or failure to achieve target glycemic control, consider alternative antidiabetic therapy.

Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin Patients receiving BYETTA in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia including severe hypoglycemia [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Drug Interactions (7) ] .

The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogue) or insulin.

Factors which may increase the risk of hypoglycemia include changes in meal pattern (e.g., macronutrient content), changes in level of physical activity, changes to co-administered medication [see Drug Interactions (7) ] , and concomitant use with other antidiabetic agents.

Drugs That May Decrease the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of Repaglinide Tablets Intervention: Repaglinide tablets dose increases and increased frequency of glucose monitoring may be required when co-administered.

CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 Inducers and Drugs That May Decrease the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of repaglinide tablets : Co-administration may require repaglinide tablets dose increases and increased frequency of glucose monitoring ( 7 )

Examples: Antidiabetic agents, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), pentoxifylline, pramlintide, propoxyphene, salicylates, somatostatin analogs (e.g., octreotide), and sulfonamide antibiotics.
