Interactions between your drugs

Major

calcium carbonate selpercatinib

Applies to: Nephro Calci (calcium carbonate) and selpercatinib

By reducing the acidity level in the stomach, medications like calcium carbonate may interfere with the absorption of selpercatinib into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. It is generally best to avoid using these medications together when possible. However, if you have no other alternatives for treatment, it is recommended that you take selpercatinib 2 hours before or 2 hours after calcium carbonate to help minimize the impact of the interaction. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications may also contain antacids or other agents that can neutralize acid. You should check the ingredients of all medications you take to see if they may contain antacids. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Moderate

calcium carbonate food

Applies to: Nephro Calci (calcium carbonate)

Calcium absorption may be increased by taking it with food. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption. Calcium may be taken with food to increase absorption. Consider spacing calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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 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.
