Daunorubicin liposomal Disease Interactions

There are 3 disease interactions with daunorubicin liposomal.

Major

Daunorubicin (applies to daunorubicin liposomal) congestive heart failure

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Daunorubicin can cause myocardial toxicity leading to congestive heart failure. Patients with preexisting heart disease or prior anthracycline therapy are at increased risk of congestive heart failure. The benefit-to-risk ratio of daunorubicin therapy in such patients should be weighed before starting treatment. The incidence of drug-induced congestive heart failure in adults is increased when the total cumulative dose of daunorubicin exceeds 550/mg/m2. An electrocardiogram and/or determination of systolic ejection fraction prior to each course of therapy is recommended.

Major

Daunorubicin (applies to daunorubicin liposomal) infections

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Infection - Bacterial/Fungal/Protozoal/Viral

Daunorubicin can induce severe myelosuppression at therapeutic doses. The use of daunorubicin may be contraindicated in patients with known infectious diseases. All patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting infection such as fever, sore throat, or local infection during therapy with daunorubicin. Close clinical monitoring of hematopoietic function is recommended.

Daunorubicin liposomal (applies to daunorubicin liposomal) myelosuppression

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Bleeding, Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts, Fever

Daunorubicin hydrochloride is a potent bone marrow suppressant. Suppression will occur in all patients given a therapeutic dose of this drug. Therapy with daunorubicin hydrochloride should not be started in patients with preexisting-existing drug-induced bone marrow suppression unless the benefit from such treatment warrants the risk. Persistent, severe myelosuppression may result in superinfection or hemorrhage.

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.
