Can you take Alemtuzumab with Prasugrel?

Prasugrel has a major potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.

Prasugrel is contraindicated in patients with active pathological bleeding such as peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage, as this agent increases the risk of fatal bleeding.

Alemtuzumab has a major potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Severe, including fatal, autoimmune anemia and thrombocytopenia, and prolonged myelosuppression have been reported in patients receiving alemtuzumab. It is recommended to withhold therapy for severe cytopenias and to discontinue therapy for autoimmune cytopenias or recurrent/persistent severe cytopenias (except lymphopenia). It is recommended to monitor complete blood counts (CBC) at weekly intervals during therapy and more frequently if worsening anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia occurs and to assess CD4+ counts after treatment until recovery to >= 200 cells/µL.

Prasugrel has a major potential interaction with Cerebrovascular Insufficiency.

Prasugrel is contraindicated in patients with a history of prior transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. Patients who experience a stroke or TIA while on prasugrel generally should have therapy discontinued. The risk of bleeding is increased in patients receiving prasugrel who undergo coronary artery bypass graft. If possible, prasugrel should be discontinued at least 7 days prior to the procedure.

Alemtuzumab has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Disease.

The use of alemtuzumab can cause severe infusion reactions, including pyrexia, chills/rigors, nausea, hypotension, urticaria, dyspnea, rash, emesis, and bronchospasm. Caution should be taken in patients with a history of pulmonary disease, heart disease as they may require dose-escalation and additional pre-infusion medications to manage complications as appropriate.

Alemtuzumab has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

Alemtuzumab should be used with caution in patients at risk of opportunistic infections, as therapy could result in severe and prolonged lymphopenia. It is recommended to administer prophylaxis against Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) and herpes viral during and for a minimum of 2 months after completion of therapy or until the CD4+ count is >=200 cells/µL. Routinely monitor patients for CMV infection during therapy and withhold therapy for serious infections and during antiviral treatment for CMV infection or confirmed CMV viremia.

Prasugrel has a major potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.

Prasugrel is contraindicated in patients with a history of prior transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. Patients who experience a stroke or TIA while on prasugrel generally should have therapy discontinued. The risk of bleeding is increased in patients receiving prasugrel who undergo coronary artery bypass graft. If possible, prasugrel should be discontinued at least 7 days prior to the procedure.

Prasugrel has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Caution should be exercised in patients with end-stage renal disease and those with severe hepatic disease as such patients are generally at higher risk of bleeding.

Alemtuzumab has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.

The use of alemtuzumab can cause severe infusion reactions, including pyrexia, chills/rigors, nausea, hypotension, urticaria, dyspnea, rash, emesis, and bronchospasm. Caution should be taken in patients with a history of pulmonary disease, heart disease as they may require dose-escalation and additional pre-infusion medications to manage complications as appropriate.

Prasugrel has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Caution should be exercised in patients with end-stage renal disease and those with severe hepatic disease as such patients are generally at higher risk of bleeding.
