Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

carBAMazepine selinexor

Applies to: Epitol (carbamazepine) and selinexor

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may decrease the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of selinexor, which is metabolized by the isoenzyme along with multiple UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). However, data are unavailable and so the clinical significance of this interaction is unknown. The extent to which other, less potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may interact with selinexor is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring for reduced therapeutic efficacy are recommended with the concomitant use of selinexor with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

carBAMazepine food

Applies to: Epitol (carbamazepine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of carbamazepine. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

In a small, randomized, crossover study, the administration of carbamazepine with grapefruit juice (compared to water) increased plasma drug concentrations by approximately 40%. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving carbamazepine should be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Given the drug's narrow therapeutic index, patients receiving carbamazepine therapy should preferably avoid the regular consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice to prevent any undue fluctuations in plasma drug levels. Patients should be advised to report signs of carbamazepine toxicity (nausea, visual disturbances, dizziness, or ataxia) to their physicians.

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.
