Interactions between your drugs
samarium sm 153 lexidronam niraparib
Applies to: samarium sm 153 lexidronam and Akeega (abiraterone / niraparib)
GENERALLY AVOID: Theoretical concerns exist that chemotherapeutic agents and other bone marrow depressants may potentiate the myelosuppressive effects of samarium sm 153 lexidronam. In clinical trials, white blood cell and platelet counts decreased to a nadir of approximately 40% to 50% of baseline in 95% of patients within three to five weeks after administration of samarium sm 153 lexidronam, and tended to return to pretreatment levels by eight weeks. The potential for additive bone marrow toxicity with myelotoxic treatments including chemotherapy or external beam radiation has not been studied.
MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends avoiding concomitant use of samarium sm 153 lexidronam with chemotherapy or external beam radiation therapy unless benefits are anticipated to outweigh the risks. Moreover, samarium sm 153 lexidronam should not be given after either of these treatments until there has been time for adequate marrow recovery. Caution and close monitoring of bone marrow function are advisable if coadministration with other myelotoxic agents is required. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they develop signs and symptoms of myelosuppression such as pallor, dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, fainting, unusual bleeding or bruising, or signs of infection such as fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination.

Drug and food interactions
abiraterone food
Applies to: Akeega (abiraterone / niraparib)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may significantly increase the oral bioavailability of some formulations of abiraterone acetate. Compared to administration in the fasted state, abiraterone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were approximately 7- and 5-fold higher, respectively, when a single dose of abiraterone acetate was administered with a low-fat meal (7% fat; 300 calories) and approximately 17- and 10-fold higher, respectively, when it was administered with a high-fat meal (57% fat; 825 calories). Given the normal variation in the content and composition of meals, taking abiraterone acetate with meals has the potential to result in increased and highly variable exposures. The safety of these increased exposures during multiple dosing has not been assessed. However, the abiraterone acetate 125 mg tablet, commonly marketed as Yonsa, was found to have an approximately 6.5-fold higher Cmax and 4.4-fold higher AUC when a single dose of 500 mg (4 tablets) was administered with a high-fat meal (56% - 60% fat, 900 - 1000 calories) compared to overnight fasting in healthy volunteers. These differences were not considered clinically significant for this formulation.
MANAGEMENT: Some formulations of abiraterone acetate must be taken on an empty stomach. No food should be consumed for at least two hours before and one hour after the abiraterone acetate dose. However, the abiraterone acetate 125 mg tablet, commonly marketed as Yonsa, can be taken with or without food. The manufacturer's product labeling should be consulted for specific guidance.
