IDArubicin gadobenate dimeglumine

Applies to: Idamycin (idarubicin) and Multihance (gadobenate dimeglumine)

MONITOR: Gadobenate dimeglumine may compete with other substrates of the canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter, also known as cMOAT or MRP2, which is an endogenous transporter protein that works in coordination with the conjugation process to facilitate drug excretion. In solid tumor cells, overexpression of MRP2 confers resistance to a wide variety of anticancer chemotherapeutic agents. Substrates of MRP2 include anthracyclines, protease inhibitors, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, cisplatin, etoposide, methotrexate, and tamoxifen. Theoretically, competition for MRP2 transport may interfere with the clearance of these drugs and/or gadobenate dimeglumine. In patients with tumor cell lines that express MRP2, the interaction may also result in enhanced pharmacologic response to some chemotherapeutic agents.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during concomitant use of gadobenate dimeglumine and other substrates of MRP2. Patients should be monitored for potentially increased pharmacologic effects of gadobenate dimeglumine as well as the coadministered drug(s).

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.
