Interactions between your drugs
amprenavir pomalidomide
Applies to: amprenavir and Pomalyst (pomalidomide)
Talk to your doctor before using pomalidomide together with amprenavir. Combining these medications may increase the blood levels and effects of pomalidomide. This can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, confusion, nerve damage, blood clots, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. Contact your doctor if you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising; pain, numbness, burning, or tingling in your hands and feet; or potential signs and symptoms 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. You should also seek immediate medical attention if you experience potential signs and symptoms of blood clots such as chest pain; shortness of breath; coughing up blood; blood in the urine; sudden loss of vision; and pain, redness, or swelling in your arm or leg. 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.
