Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
lidocaine topical adagrasib
Applies to: benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical and adagrasib
Talk to your doctor before suing adagrasib together with lidocaine topical. Combining these medication may increase the blood levels and effects of lidocaine topical. This may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, trembling, numbness, slow heartbeat, or low blood pressure. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. There may be alternative medications that do not interact, or your doctor may recommend a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Major food/lifestyle interactions
Major:
adagrasib Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: adagrasib
You should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during approximately the first 8 days of treatment with adagrasib. During this time, grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of adagrasib. This may increase the risk of side effects such as diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, renal impairment, and an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with adagrasib. 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.

Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version.
Disease interactions
8 potential interactions Applies to: 8 conditions, including Seizures, Liver Disease, Long QT Syndrome, Heart Block, and Shock.
Heart Block
Major:
benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical
The lidocaine topical in benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.
Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.
Liver Disease
Major:
benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical
The lidocaine topical in benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is rapidly and extensively metabolized by the liver. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Several inactive and two active forms (MEGX and GX) have been identified. MEGX and GX exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. The pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine is altered by changes in hepatic function, including hepatic blood flow. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for patients with compromised hepatic function.
Long QT Syndrome
Moderate:
adagrasib
Adagrasib has a moderate potential interaction with Long QT Syndrome.
Adagrasib can cause QTc prolongation, which increases the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias or sudden death. Use should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, in patients with concurrent QTc prolongation, and patients taking other medicines known to prolong the QTc interval. Monitor ECG and electrolytes prior to starting treatment and as indicated during therapy.
Pulmonary Impairment
Moderate:
adagrasib
Adagrasib has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.
Adagrasib can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis which can be fatal. Patients should be monitored for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis during treatment. Caution is advised in patients with pulmonary impairment.
Renal Dysfunction
Major:
benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical
The lidocaine topical in benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Two active metabolites (MEGX and GX) have been identified that exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. Serum concentrations of lidocaine and the active metabolites are increased and the half-life prolonged in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for repeated doses in patients with compromised renal function.
Seizures
Major:
benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical
The lidocaine topical in benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical has a major potential interaction with Seizures.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Seizures can occur as a result of accumulation of active metabolites. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously to patients with or predisposed to seizure disorders.
Shock
Major:
benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical
The lidocaine topical in benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical has a major potential interaction with Shock.
Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.
Teething Syndrome
Major:
benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical
The lidocaine topical in benzethonium chloride / lidocaine topical has a major potential interaction with Teething Syndrome.
Topical lidocaine is not recommended to be used in teething infants and young children, as its ingestion is dangerous and potentially fatal. Ingestion of the drug has shown to result in seizures, severe brain injury, and heart problems in children.
