Interactions between your drugs
DOXOrubicin OXcarbazepine
Applies to: Adriamycin PFS (doxorubicin) and Oxtellar XR (oxcarbazepine)
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of doxorubicin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. One group of investigators reported a nearly 60% increase in the plasma clearance of doxorubicin in patients receiving barbiturates compared to those not receiving barbiturates. Reduced therapeutic effects of doxorubicin may occur.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of doxorubicin with CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided, particularly potent ones like carbamazepine, enzalutamide, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone (partially metabolized to phenobarbital), rifamycins, and St. John's wort. Close monitoring for potentially reduced efficacy of doxorubicin is recommended if coadministration is required.

Drug and food interactions
OXcarbazepine food
Applies to: Oxtellar XR (oxcarbazepine)
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
