Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

arformoterol revumenib

Applies to: arformoterol and Revuforj (revumenib)

Using arformoterol together with revumenib can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a rare side effect.

You may be more susceptible if you have:

  • a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
  • other cardiac diseases
  • conduction abnormalities
  • electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)

The risk may exist even when arformoterol or similar medications are given by oral inhalation directly into the lungs, and more so if these products are overused. Do not exceed the dose and frequency of use recommended on the product label or prescribed by your doctor.

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.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications.

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

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

revumenib Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: Revuforj (revumenib)

High fat content meals may affect the absorption of revumenib. It is recommended that revumenib be taken while fasting or with a low fat meal (approximately 400 calories, with 25% of calories from fat).

Grapefruit juice may also increase the blood levels of revumenib which can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening.

You may be more susceptible if you have:

  • a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
  • other cardiac diseases
  • conduction abnormalities
  • electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)

Increased levels of revumenib may also increase the risk of developing a serious and potentially life-threatening condition called differentiation syndrome.

Symptoms of differentiation syndrome include:

  • fever
  • cough
  • shortness of breath
  • severe headache
  • confusion
  • dizziness
  • rapid weight gain
  • swelling
  • decreased urination

You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms and/or symptoms of QT prolongation such as sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with revumenib.

The risk and/or severity of other side effects may also increase, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or infections. You may need additional monitoring if grapefruit or grapefruit juice are consumed during treatment with revumenib.

Talk to a healthcare provider 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.

Disease interactions

15 potential interactions Applies to: 13 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Heart Failure, Asthma, Seizures, and Arrhythmia.

Arrhythmia

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG. This drug should not be initiated in patients with QTcF greater than 450 msec. Monitor with ECG during treatment (once a week during the first 4 weeks and then monthly). More frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those taking other medications that can prolong the QTc interval.

Asthma

Major:

arformoterol

Arformoterol has a major potential interaction with Asthma.

Long acting beta- 2 adrenergic antagonists (LABA) increase the risk of asthma related death. Arformoterol inhalation solution is not indicated to treat asthma.

Diabetes Mellitus

Moderate:

arformoterol

Arformoterol has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause increases in blood glucose concentrations. These effects are usually transient and slight, but may be significant with dosages higher than those normally recommended. Large doses of IV albuterol (not commercially available in the U.S.) and terbutaline sulfate have been reported to cause exacerbation of preexisting diabetes mellitus and ketoacidosis. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate. Systemic adverse effects are minimized, but not abolished, by administration of these agents via oral inhalation.

Heart Disease

Moderate:

arformoterol

Arformoterol has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Disease.

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses. High dosages of these agents have been associated with precipitation or aggravation of angina, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

Heart Failure

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG. This drug should not be initiated in patients with QTcF greater than 450 msec. Monitor with ECG during treatment (once a week during the first 4 weeks and then monthly). More frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary in patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those taking other medications that can prolong the QTc interval.

High Blood Pressure

Moderate:

arformoterol

Arformoterol has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses. High dosages of these agents have been associated with precipitation or aggravation of angina, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

Hyperthyroidism

Moderate:

arformoterol

Arformoterol has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses.

Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

Hypokalemia

Moderate:

arformoterol

Arformoterol has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause decreases in serum potassium concentrations, primarily when given by nebulization or intravenous administration. Although this effect is usually transient and does not require supplementation, clinically significant hypokalemia may occur in some patients, with the potential to induce cardiovascular adverse effects. The relevance of these observations to oral or oral aerosol/powder for inhalation therapy is unknown. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to hypokalemia.

Moderate:

Revuforj

The revumenib in Revuforj has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Revumenib can cause QTc interval prolongation. Correct electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment, and perform a baseline ECG.
