How we grade severity & evidence

Severity levels

  • Contraindicated: These should generally not be used together.
  • Major: Potentially serious — often needs a change or close monitoring.
  • Moderate: Can be significant — usually manageable with monitoring.
  • Minor: Usually limited clinical impact.

Evidence grades

  • Established: Well documented — supported by controlled studies or strong clinical data.
  • Probable: Good supporting evidence, though not definitively proven.
  • Suspected: Some evidence suggests this interaction, but it is not well established.
  • Possible: Limited or conflicting evidence; the interaction may occur.
  • Theoretical: Predicted from the drugs' pharmacology; not yet confirmed in people.

Ratings come from the documented interaction literature and are reviewed by a pharmacist. They describe the documented risk of the combination, not what will necessarily happen to you — your dose, timing, and health picture all matter.

Of 129 documented Alogliptin interactions, 81 are rated major — including this one.

What happens

Increased mavorixafor exposure and an increased risk of mavorixafor-related adverse effects

Interaction Deep Dive

Coadministration of mavorixafor (P-gp substrate) with a P-gp inhibitor may increase mavorixafor exposure and may increase the risk of mavorixafor related adverse reactions. Monitor more frequently for mavorixafor adverse reactions and reduce the mavorixafor daily dosage by steps of 100 mg, if necessary, but not to a dose less than 200 mg1.

Why it happens (mechanism)

Inhibition of P-gp-mediated efflux transport of mavorixafor

Literature reports

1 report — tap to read

a) In a drug interaction study in healthy subjects, the systemic exposure of mavorixafor (CYP3A4 substrate and P-gp substrate) following concomitant administration of a single dose of mavorixafor 200 mg (0.5 times the recommended dosage for adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older weighing over 50 kg) with 200 mg itraconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor and P-gp inhibitor) dosed to steady state was similar to the mavorixafor systemic exposure from a single dose of mavorixafor 400 mg administered alone. These results suggest an approximate increase in mavorixafor exposure by 2-fold due to itraconazole 1.
