Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

PACLitaxel protein-bound selpercatinib

Applies to: Abraxane (paclitaxel protein-bound) and selpercatinib

Selpercatinib may increase the blood levels of PACLitaxel protein-bound. This can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, muscle pain or weakness, nerve damage, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. Contact your doctor if you experience paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, pain or burning during urination, vision problems, and/or numbness, burning or tingling in your hands and feet. You may need a dose adjustment and/or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug and food interactions

Major

selpercatinib food

Applies to: selpercatinib

You should limit or avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with selpercatinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of selpercatinib. High levels of selpercatinib can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). The risk and/or severity of other side effects may also increase, including nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, rash, muscle and joint pain, swelling of arms or legs, liver problems, high blood pressure, and bleeding complications. Talk to your doctor if you experience intolerable or troublesome side effects, or you have other questions or concerns. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with selpercatinib. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
