Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

epiRUBicin fezolinetant

Applies to: Ellence (epirubicin) and fezolinetant

MONITOR: The concomitant or sequential use of epirubicin with agents known to induce hepatotoxicity may potentiate the risk of liver injury. Epirubicin undergoes elimination through the hepatobiliary system.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical and laboratory monitoring for signs of liver injury are advisable before, during, or after use of epirubicin with other agents that are potentially hepatotoxic.

Drug and food interactions

Major

fezolinetant food

Applies to: fezolinetant

CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 such as caffeine may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of fezolinetant, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. The interaction has not been studied with caffeine but has been reported for other CYP450 1A2 inhibitors. Consumption of caffeine-containing food or beverages (e.g., chocolate, coffee, cola drinks, energy drinks, tea) could result in an interaction with fezolinetant. In clinical drug interaction studies, fezolinetant was coadministered with fluvoxamine, mexiletine, and cimetidine (potent, moderate, and weak CYP450 1A2 inhibitors, respectively). Fezolinetant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 80%, 40%, and 30%, respectively, while its systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 840%, 360%, and 100%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of fezolinetant with CYP450 1A2 inhibitors such as caffeine, including caffeine-containing food or beverages, is considered contraindicated.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
