Disease interactions
12 potential interactions Applies to: 10 conditions, including Seizures, Head Injury, Liver Disease, Brain Tumor, and Heart Block.
Brain Tumor
Moderate:
enzalutamide
Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Brain Tumor.
Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.
CNS Infection
Moderate:
enzalutamide
Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with CNS Infection.
Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.
Head Injury
Moderate:
enzalutamide
Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Head Injury.
Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.
Heart Block
Major:
Asperflex Max
The lidocaine topical in Asperflex Max has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.
Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.
History - Cerebrovascular Disease
Moderate:
enzalutamide
Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with History - Cerebrovascular Disease.
Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.
Liver Disease
Major:
Asperflex Max
The lidocaine topical in Asperflex Max has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is rapidly and extensively metabolized by the liver. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Several inactive and two active forms (MEGX and GX) have been identified. MEGX and GX exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. The pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine is altered by changes in hepatic function, including hepatic blood flow. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for patients with compromised hepatic function.
Renal Dysfunction
Major:
Asperflex Max
The lidocaine topical in Asperflex Max has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Two active metabolites (MEGX and GX) have been identified that exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. Serum concentrations of lidocaine and the active metabolites are increased and the half-life prolonged in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for repeated doses in patients with compromised renal function.
Moderate:
enzalutamide
Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Enzalutamide has not been assessed in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. Caution is advised if used on these patients. No initial dosage adjustment is required on patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
Seizures
Major:
Asperflex Max
The lidocaine topical in Asperflex Max has a major potential interaction with Seizures.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Seizures can occur as a result of accumulation of active metabolites. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously to patients with or predisposed to seizure disorders.
Moderate:
enzalutamide
Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.
Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.
Shock
Major:
Asperflex Max
The lidocaine topical in Asperflex Max has a major potential interaction with Shock.
Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.
Teething Syndrome
Major:
Asperflex Max
The lidocaine topical in Asperflex Max has a major potential interaction with Teething Syndrome.
Topical lidocaine is not recommended to be used in teething infants and young children, as its ingestion is dangerous and potentially fatal. Ingestion of the drug has shown to result in seizures, severe brain injury, and heart problems in children.
