Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ibuprofen oxaliplatin

Applies to: Actiprofen (ibuprofen) and Eloxatin (oxaliplatin)

MONITOR: Theoretically, coadministration with drugs that are nephrotoxic may delay and/or decrease the clearance of oxaliplatin, which is primarily eliminated unchanged by the kidney. However, formal studies have not been conducted.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if oxaliplatin is used in patients who have recently received or are receiving treatment with potentially nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides; polypeptide, glycopeptide, and polymyxin antibiotics; amphotericin B; adefovir; cidofovir; tenofovir; foscarnet; cisplatin; deferasirox; gallium nitrate; lithium; mesalamine; certain immunosuppressants; intravenous bisphosphonates; intravenous pentamidine; high intravenous dosages of methotrexate; high dosages and/or chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents). The potential for increased toxicity of oxaliplatin such as peripheral sensory neuropathies and neutropenia should be considered. Renal function should be closely monitored during therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ibuprofen food

Applies to: Actiprofen (ibuprofen)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

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.
