Administered at least 2 hours before or after the administration of orlistat to limit effects on oral absorption. [27971] Alogliptin: (Minor) Weight-loss may affect glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. In many patients, glycemic control may improve. A reduction in dose of oral hypoglycemic medications may be required in some patients taking orlistat. Monitor blood glucose and glycemic control and adjust therapy as clinically indicated. [25616] [27971] [60877] [62881] Alogliptin; metFORMIN: (Minor) Weight-loss may affect glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. In many patients, glycemic control may improve. A reduction in dose of oral hypoglycemic medications may be required in some patients taking orlistat. Monitor blood glucose and glycemic control and adjust therapy as clinically indicated. [25616] [27971] [60877] [62881] Alogliptin; Pioglitazone: (Minor) Weight-loss may affect glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. In many patients, glycemic control may improve. A reduction in dose of oral hypoglycemic medications may be required in some patients taking orlistat. Monitor blood glucose and glycemic control and adjust therapy as clinically indicated. [25616] [27971] [60877] [62881] Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors: (Minor) Weight-loss may affect glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. In many patients, glycemic control may improve. A reduction in dose of oral hypoglycemic medications may be required in some patients taking orlistat. Monitor blood glucose and glycemic control and adjust therapy as clinically indicated. [25616] [27971] [60877] [62881] Amiodarone: (Moderate) Monitor for a decrease in amiodarone efficacy during concomitant use of amiodarone and orlistat. Concomitant use may decrease amiodarone exposure. In a pharmacokinetic study of healthy volunteers, administration of orlistat 120 mg three times daily with a single dose of 1,200 mg amiodarone on day 4 resulted in a 23% to 27% reduction in the systemic exposure to amiodarone and its metabolite desethylamiodarone. The effect of initiating treatment with orlistat in patients stable on amiodarone therapy has not been studied. [27971] Apixaban: (Moderate) Patients on chronic stable doses of anticoagulants, like apixaban, should be monitored closely for changes in coagulation parameters when orlistat is prescribed. Reports of decreased prothrombin, increased INR, and unbalanced anticoagulant treatment resulting in change of hemostatic parameters have
