There were no interactions found between avatrombopag and Privigen. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

avatrombopag Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: avatrombopag

Taking avatrombopag with food helps ensure consistent absorption of the medication into the blood stream.

You should take each dose of avatrombopag with food at the same time everyday.

Disease interactions

13 potential interactions Applies to: 10 conditions, including Diabetes Mellitus, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder, Hyponatremia, Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders, and Sepsis.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Thrombosis has been reported after treatment with immune globulin products. In general, patients at greatest risk of thromboembolic events are those of advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors; therefore, it is recommended that patients treated with these agents should be monitored for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk. Consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity.

Diabetes Mellitus

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Thrombosis has been reported after treatment with immune globulin products. In general, patients at greatest risk of thromboembolic events are those of advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors; therefore, it is recommended that patients treated with these agents should be monitored for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk. Consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity.

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Renal abnormalities such as acute tubular necrosis, proximal tubular nephropathy, osmotic nephrosis, including acute renal dysfunction/failure and death have been reported after immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products. Cases of renal dysfunction and acute renal failure occur more commonly in patients receiving IGIV products containing sucrose as a stabilizer. Ensure that patients are not volume-depleted before administering these agents and assess renal function, including measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine, before initiating the infusion and at appropriate intervals thereafter. If renal function deteriorates, consider discontinuation of the product. Periodic monitoring of renal function and urine output is important in patients at increased risk of developing acute renal failure. Administer these agents at the minimum dose and rate of infusion practicable in patients at risk for renal dysfunction or failure.

Fructose Intolerance

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with Fructose Intolerance.

The immune globulin intravenous (human) injection, Flebogamma 10% DIF and Gammaplex contain sorbitol and should not be administered to patients with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI).

History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.

Thrombosis has been reported after treatment with immune globulin products. In general, patients at greatest risk of thromboembolic events are those of advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors; therefore, it is recommended that patients treated with these agents should be monitored for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk. Consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity.

Moderate:

avatrombopag

Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.

Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).

Hyponatremia

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with Hyponatremia.

Thrombosis has been reported after treatment with immune globulin products. In general, patients at greatest risk of thromboembolic events are those of advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors; therefore, it is recommended that patients treated with these agents should be monitored for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk. Consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity.

Polycythemia

Major:

Privigen

The immune globulin intravenous in Privigen has a major potential interaction with Polycythemia.

Thrombosis has been reported after treatment with immune globulin products. In general, patients at greatest risk of thromboembolic events are those of advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors; therefore, it is recommended that patients treated with these agents should be monitored for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk. Consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity.

Protein C Deficiency

Moderate:

avatrombopag

Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Protein C Deficiency.

Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).
