Interactions between your drugs

Major

omacetaxine ruxolitinib

Applies to: Synribo (omacetaxine) and Jakafi (ruxolitinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of omacetaxine and drugs that interfere with platelet function or coagulation may potentiate the risk of bleeding complications. Treatment with omacetaxine is associated with a high frequency of thrombocytopenia. In one study, the overall incidence of grade 3 and 4 thrombocytopenia was 85% and 88%. Fatal cerebral hemorrhages occurred in 2% of patients receiving omacetaxine and nonfatal gastrointestinal hemorrhages occurred in 2%.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of other medications that interfere with platelet function or coagulation should be avoided if the patient's platelet count is less than 50,000 per microliter. Close clinical and laboratory observation for bleeding complications is recommended during therapy. The CBC and platelet count should be monitored according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Patients should be advised to immediately report signs of hemorrhage including unusual bleeding, bruising, blood in the urine or feces, confusion, blurry vision, or slurred speech.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ruxolitinib food

Applies to: Jakafi (ruxolitinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ruxolitinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ruxolitinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. Ruxolitinib may be administered with or without food.

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.
