How relacorilant is dosed
From the FDA label for Lifyorli (Copackaged) (application NDA220641). Other relacorilant products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.
The recommended dosage of LIFYORLI is 150 mg orally once on the day before, the day of, and the day after each nab-paclitaxel infusion. ( 2 ) 2.1 Important Dosage and Administration Information LIFYORLI Follow LIFYORLI dosing instructions provided on the blister card. Take LIFYORLI with food. Swallow capsules whole. Do not crush, chew, dissolve, or split the capsules. If a dose of LIFYORLI is missed by less than 12 hours, take the missed dose. If a dose of LIFYORLI is missed by 12 hours or more, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Do not take 2 doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If vomiting occurs after taking LIFYORLI, do not take an additional dose. Nab-Paclitaxel The recommended dosage and dosage modifications for nab-paclitaxel when administered in combination with LIFYORLI differ from those for other nab-paclitaxel indications [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 and 2.3 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Do not substitute with other paclitaxel formulations. 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of LIFYORLI is 150 mg orally once on the day before, the day of, and the day after each nab-paclitaxel infusion until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The recommended dosage for nab-paclitaxel is 80 mg/m 2 administered as an intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle…
Relacorilant side effects
The following adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling: Neutropenia and Severe Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Adrenal Insufficiency [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Exacerbation of Conditions Treated with Glucocorticoids [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Most common adverse reactions (incidence > 20%), including laboratory abnormalities, that occurred in patients treated with LIFYORLI in combination with nab-paclitaxel were decreased hemoglobin, decreased neutrophils, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, decreased platelets, rash, and decreased appetite.

The safety of LIFYORLI in combination with nab-paclitaxel was evaluated in patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer in ROSELLA [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Patients received LIFYORLI (150 mg orally on the day before, the day of, and the day after each administration of…
Who shouldn’t take relacorilant
LIFYORLI is contraindicated in patients receiving systemic glucocorticoids for lifesaving purposes (e.g., immunosuppression after organ transplantation) because LIFYORLI antagonizes the effect of glucocorticoids [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Concurrent systemic glucocorticoid therapy for a lifesaving indication. ( 4 )
Relacorilant drug interactions
Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid coadministration with LIFYORLI in combination with nab-paclitaxel. ( 7.1 ) CYP2C8 Inducers and Moderate CYP3A Inducers : Monitor for reduced effectiveness for LIFYORLI in combination with nab-paclitaxel. ( 7.1 ) CYP2C8 Inhibitors : Monitor for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage for adverse reactions as recommended. ( 7.1 ) CYP3A Substrates : Avoid coadministration unless otherwise recommended. ( 7.2 ) Certain CYP2C8 Substrates : Avoid coadministration unless otherwise recommended. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on LIFYORLI in Combination with Nab-Paclitaxel Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid coadministration of LIFYORLI plus nab-paclitaxel with strong CYP3A inducers. Both relacorilant and paclitaxel are CYP3A substrates. Coadministration of strong CYP3A inducers can decrease concentrations of relacorilant and paclitaxel, which may reduce their effectiveness [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . CYP2C8 Inducers and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Monitor for reduced effectiveness of LIFYORLI plus nab-paclitaxel with CYP2C8 inducers and moderate CYP3A inducers. Paclitaxel is a substrate of CYP2C8 and CYP3A and relacorilant is a CYP3A substrate. Coadministration of CYP2C8 inducers and moderate CYP3A inducers can decrease concentrations of paclitaxel and relacorilant, which may reduce their effectiveness. CYP2C8 Inhibitors Monitor for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage for adverse reactions as recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . Paclitaxel is a substrate of CYP2C8. Coadministration of CYP2C8 inhibitors may increase concentrations of paclitaxel, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. 7.2 Effect of LIFYORLI on Other Drugs CYP3A Substrates Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP3A substrates. Relacorilant is a strong CYP3A inhibitor. Relacorilant increases exposure of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may increase the risk for adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain CYP2C8 Substrates Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP2C8 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to reduced effectiveness. Relacorilant is a weak CYP2C8 inducer. Relacorilant decreases exposure of CYP2C8 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may decrease the effectiveness related to these substrates. 7.3 Potential for Reduced Effectiveness of Glucocorticoids or LIFYORLI with Coadministration LIFYORLI is contraindicated in patients receiving systemic glucocorticoids for lifesaving purposes (e.g., immunosuppression in organ transplantation) [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. Avoid coadministration in patients with other medical conditions requiring systemic glucocorticoids when possible. If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor patients for reduced effectiveness of LIFYORLI and glucocorticoids. LIFYORLI is a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, which may make systemic glucocorticoids less effective. Coadministration of systemic glucocorticoids may make LIFYORLI less effective.
Every relacorilant product we track (1)
Same active ingredient — different manufacturer, form, price and FDA recall record. That last one is what our independent score measures.
Only one: Lifyorli (Copackaged).
Can you crush or split relacorilant?
At least one relacorilantproduct is labelled to be swallowed whole — crushing an extended-release tablet releases the whole day’s dose at once. Which applies depends on the form you were given.
What each relacorilant label says about crushing, splitting and chewingWhat people report to the FDA about relacorilant
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 3 reports naming relacorilant, and the FDA flagged 33% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- abdominal discomfort1 reports
- breath odour1 reports
- eructation1 reports
- hernia1 reports
- nausea1 reports
- nephrolithiasis1 reports
- product odour abnormal1 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean relacorilant caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
What is relacorilant?
LIFYORLI (relacorilant) is a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist antineoplastic agent.
Can you take relacorilant with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run relacorilant against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What forms does relacorilant come in?
Across the brands we track, relacorilant is currently marketed as kit, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic relacorilant?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled relacorilant product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
