Drug interaction overview
- Eliglustat inhibits P-gp and CYP2D6; coadministration with P-gp or CYP2D6 substrates may result in increased concentrations of the concomitant drug
- Use of eliglustat is contraindicated, to be avoided, or may require dosage adjustment depending on the concomitant drug and CYP2D6 metabolizer status (ie, EM, IM, PM)
- CYP2D6 and CYP3A substrate; drugs that inhibit CYP2D6 and CYP3A metabolism may significantly increase eliglustat systemic exposure and result in prolongation of the PR, QTc, and/or QRS cardiac intervals

Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Available data on use in pregnant women includes 20 pregnancies that occurred during the clinical development program and a small number of postmarketing case reports
These data are not sufficient to assess drug-associated risks major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Animal studies
- In animal reproduction studies in pregnant rats administered oral eliglustat during organogenesis, a spectrum of various developmental abnormalities were observed at doses 6 times the recommended human dose
Disease-associated risk
- Women with Gaucher disease type 1 have an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, especially if disease symptoms are not treated and controlled preconception and during a pregnancy
- Pregnancy may exacerbate existing Gaucher disease type 1 symptoms or result in new disease manifestations
- Gaucher disease type 1 manifestations may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes including, hepatosplenomegaly which can interfere with the normal growth of a pregnancy and thrombocytopenia which can lead to increased bleeding and possible hemorrhage
Lactation
There are no human data available on the presence of eliglustat in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production
Eliglustat and its metabolites were present in the milk of lactating rats
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Gaucher disease is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid β-glucosidase (ie, glucocerebrosidase), which catalyzes the conversion of the sphingolipid glucocerebroside into glucose and ceramide
The enzymatic deficiency causes an accumulation of glucosylceramide (GL-1), primarily in the lysosomal compartment of macrophages, giving rise to foam cells or "Gaucher cells"
Eliglustat is a specific inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase, thereby reducing production of glucosylceramide

ELIGLUSTAT - ORAL
(EL-i-GLOO-stat)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Cerdelga
USES: This medication is used for long-term treatment of a certain rare genetic problem (Gaucher's disease). Eliglustat works by decreasing the amount of a certain natural fatty substance (glucosylceramide) that builds up due to this condition. This can improve symptoms of Gaucher's disease, such as bruising, tiredness, pain in the joints/bones, and a swollen liver/spleen.
HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking eliglustat and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. The manufacturer directs to swallow the capsules whole, preferably with water, and not to open, crush, or dissolve the capsules before swallowing. However, other similar drugs (immediate-release capsules) can be opened, and the contents may be sprinkled on or mixed in food. Follow your doctor's directions on how to take this medication. If you are also using enzyme replacement treatment (such as imiglucerase, velaglucerase alfa, or taliglucerase alfa), you may take this medication 24 hours after your dose of the enzyme replacement treatment.Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this medication unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with this medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, laboratory tests, and other medications you may be taking.
