Here is a passage from the AKEEGA PATIENT INFORMATION AND PRESCRIBING INFORMATION which may be helpful to address your question:

Does AKEEGA interact with food and other medicines?

• Take AKEEGA on an empty stomach. Do not eat food 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking AKEEGA. Taking AKEEGA with food may cause more of the medicine to be absorbed by the body than is needed and this may cause side effects.¹
• Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.¹
• AKEEGA may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how AKEEGA works.¹
• Certain medicines may decrease AKEEGA levels in the body, which may reduce the effectiveness of AKEEGA.¹
• AKEEGA may increase the levels of other medications in the body, which may increase the risk of side effects related to these medications.¹
• Your healthcare provider may change your dose, temporarily stop, or permanently stop treatment with AKEEGA if you have certain side effects.¹
• Take AKEEGA and prednisone exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.¹
• Do not change or stop taking your prescribed dose of AKEEGA or prednisone without talking with your healthcare provider first.¹
• You should start or continue a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog therapy during your treatment with AKEEGA unless you have had a surgery to lower the amount of testosterone in your body (surgical castration).¹
