- acetaminophen/tramadol
- encorafenib
Interactions between your drugs
acetaminophen encorafenib
Applies to: acetaminophen / tramadol and encorafenib
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with encorafenib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic cation transporter (OCT2), organic anion transporter (OAT1, OAT3), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP1B1, OATP1B3), or uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1. In in vivo studies, encorafenib has been shown to be an inhibitor of OATP1B1, 1B3, and BCRP. In vitro studies have demonstrated it to be an inhibitor of OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, and P-gp at expected clinical concentrations as well as a potent, reversible inhibitor of UGT1A1. Administration of a single dose of rosuvastatin, an OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and BCRP substrate, after repeated administration of encorafenib 450 mg once daily and binimetinib 45 mg twice daily, resulted in increased systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of rosuvastatin by approximately 1.6 fold and 2.7 fold respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if encorafenib must be used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of the affected transporters or UGT1A1, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever encorafenib is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

traMADol encorafenib
Applies to: acetaminophen / tramadol and encorafenib
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of tramadol, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4 and 2D6. Reduced opioid efficacy can occur, including opioid withdrawal in physically dependent patients. After discontinuing a CYP450 3A4 inducer, the tramadol plasma concentration will increase, which could increase and/or prolong opioid efficacy and adverse reactions, including seizures, serotonin syndrome, and respiratory depression. In addition, when two or more medications with similar adverse effect profiles are given concurrently, the likelihood of experiencing these adverse reactions may be increased. For example, coadministration with other agents that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., apalutamide, encorafenib, enzalutamide) may result in additive effects and an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias like torsade de pointes.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tramadol is used with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Patients should be monitored for opioid efficacy and signs of withdrawal. If the CYP450 3A4 inducer also carries a risk of prolonging the QT interval, then obtaining more frequent electrocardiograms (ECGs) to monitor the QT interval may be advisable. Patients should be counseled to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, and/or shortness of breath. If a CYP450 3A4 inducer is discontinued, monitor for seizures, serotonin syndrome, sedation, and respiratory depression. The prescribing information for the concomitant CYP450 3A4 inducers should be consulted for specific recommendations.

Drug and food interactions
encorafenib food
Applies to: encorafenib
You should preferably avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking encorafenib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of encorafenib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as bleeding complications, eye and vision problems, liver problems, irregular heart rhythm, and development of new skin cancers. 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.
acetaminophen food
Applies to: acetaminophen / tramadol
Ask your doctor before using acetaminophen together with ethanol. This can cause serious side effects that affect your liver. Call your doctor immediately if you experience a fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, excessive tiredness or weakness, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash or itching, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or the whites of your eyes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. 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.
traMADol food
Applies to: acetaminophen / tramadol
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of traMADol such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with traMADol. Do not use more than the recommended dose of traMADol, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
