Drug Interactions

Acetaminophen; Aspirin, ASA; Caffeine: (Minor) Beverages containing caffeine or ethanol may aggravate bladder symptoms and counteract the effectiveness of fesoterodine to some degree. Patients may wish to limit their intake of caffeinated drugs, dietary supplements (e.g., guarana), or beverages (e.g., green tea, other teas, coffee, colas) and alcoholic beverages.
Acetaminophen; Caffeine: (Minor) Beverages containing caffeine or ethanol may aggravate bladder symptoms and counteract the effectiveness of fesoterodine to some degree. Patients may wish to limit their intake of caffeinated drugs, dietary supplements (e.g., guarana), or beverages (e.g., green tea, other teas, coffee, colas) and alcoholic beverages.
Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Monitor patients for signs of urinary retention or reduced gastric motility when fesoterodine, an anticholinergic drug for overactive bladder is used with opiate agonists. The concomitant use of these drugs together may increase risk of urinary retention and/or severe constipation, which may lead to paralytic ileus. Opiates increase the tone and decrease the propulsive contractions of the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. Prolongation of the gastrointestinal transit time may be the mechanism of the constipating effect. Both agents may also cause drowsiness or blurred vision, and patients should use care in driving or performing other hazardous tasks until the effects of the drugs are known.

Mechanism Of Action

Fesoterodine and its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine, are competitive muscarinic receptor antagonists. Fesoterodine is rapidly hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine, which is responsible for the therapeutic action of the drug. Actions on the bladder include inhibition of bladder contraction and a decrease in detrusor pressure. A urodynamic study revealed that administration of fesoterodine increased the volume at first detrusor contraction as well as bladder capacity. Other antimuscarinic effects may include constipation, blurred vision, and xerostomia.

Pharmacokinetics

Fesoterodine is administered orally. After an oral dose, it is rapidly hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine, which is responsible for the therapeutic action of the drug. The steady-state volume of distribution in adults is 169 L. Protein-binding is about 50%. Hepatic CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 are involved in the metabolism of 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine to carboxy, carboxy-N-desisopropyl, and N-desisopropyl metabolites which do not significantly contribute to the anticholinergic effects of the drug. The Cmax and AUC of 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine are increased 1.7- and 2-fold, respectively, in poor metabolizers of CYP2D6 compared to extensive metabolizers of the isoenzyme. The half-life in adults is approximately 7 hours. About 70% of a dose is excreted renally as 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine (16%), carboxy metabolite (34%), carboxy-N-desisopropyl metabolite (18%), and N-desisopropyl metabolite (1%). About 7% is excreted in the feces.
 
Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes: CYP2D6, CYP3A4
Fesoterodine is rapidly hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine, which is metabolized via hepatic CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. At therapeutic concentrations, 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 and does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 in vitro. According to the FDA-approved product label, no dosage adjustments are recommended during concurrent use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers.

Oral Route

Maximum plasma concentrations of 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine are attained approximately 5 hours after oral administration in adults. Plasma concentrations of fesoterodine are not detectable due to the rapid conversion of the drug to the active metabolite. Administration with food does not affect the pharmacokinetics of fesoterodine. Bioavailability of 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine is 52%.

Pregnancy And Lactation
Pregnancy

There are no data with the use of fesoterodine during human pregnancy to inform a drug associated risk for birth defects or miscarriage. There are no studies of fesoterodine in pregnant women. The drug should be avoided during pregnancy unless the benefit of therapy outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of fesoterodine to pregnant mice and rabbits during organogenesis resulted in fetotoxicity at maternal exposures that were 6 and 3 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg/day based on AUC.

There is no information on the presence of fesoterodine in human milk, the effects on the breast-fed child, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breast-feeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for fesoterodine and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition. Anticholinergic medications may inhibit milk production during the period of trying to establish lactation. If a breast-feeding infant experiences an adverse effect related to a maternally administered drug, healthcare providers are encouraged to report the adverse effect to the FDA.
