Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ustekinumab abrocitinib

Applies to: Steqeyma (ustekinumab) and abrocitinib

MONITOR: The use of ustekinumab with other immunosuppressive or myelosuppressive agents may increase the risk of infections. Serious bacterial, fungal, and viral infections have been observed during clinical trials with ustekinumab, and the risk may theoretically increase when coadministered with other immunosuppressive therapy. Agents that may be significantly myelo- or immunosuppressive include antineoplastic agents, radiation, zidovudine, linezolid, some antirheumatic agents, high dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents (greater than 10 mg/day to 1 mg/kg/day, whichever is less, of prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 weeks), and long-term topical or inhaled corticosteroids.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if ustekinumab must be used in patients who have recently received or are receiving treatment with other immunosuppressive or myelosuppressive drugs, and vice versa. Close clinical and laboratory monitoring for the development of severe hematologic adverse effects is recommended both during and after discontinuation of therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

abrocitinib food

Applies to: abrocitinib

MONITOR: Smoking during treatment with abrocitinib may increase the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the risk of developing malignancies. During abrocitinib clinical studies, current or past smokers had an additional increased risk of overall malignancies. Also, abrocitinib may increase patients' risk of MACE, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death.

Administration of abrocitinib with high-fat, high-calorie food increased abrocitinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 29% and 26%, respectively, and prolonged the time to reach Cmax by 2 hours. These changes are not considered clinically relevant.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if abrocitinib is prescribed to current or past smokers. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and the steps to take if they occur. The manufacturer recommends discontinuing abrocitinib in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke. Abrocitinib may be taken with or without food.

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.
