Folotyn Disease Interactions

The safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of pralatrexate have not been evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment. Additionally, this drug can cause hepatotoxicity and liver function test abnormalities, which might require dose modification or discontinuation. Caution and monitoring is advised.

Patients with moderate to severe renal function impairment may be at greater risk of toxicity due to increased exposure. Patients should be monitored for renal function and toxicity and dosage should be adjusted accordingly. For patients with severe renal impairment (GFR 15 to <30), the recommended dose of pralatrexate is 15 mg/m2. Avoid the use of pralatrexate in patients with ESRD undergoing dialysis, unless the potential effect justifies the potential risk.
