Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with panobinostat may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2D6. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 2D6 activity by panobinostat. When a single 60 mg dose of dextromethorphan, a CYP450 2D6 probe substrate, was coadministered with panobinostat (20 mg once per day on days 3, 5, and 8) in 14 patients with advanced cancer, dextromethorphan peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 20% to 200% (median 80%) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 20% to 130% (median 60%) compared to administration of dextromethorphan alone.

MANAGEMENT: Given the high interpatient variability with respect to magnitude of interaction, concomitant use of panobinostat with sensitive CYP450 2D6 substrates (e.g., atomoxetine, desipramine, dextromethorphan, metoprolol, nebivolol, perphenazine, tolterodine, venlafaxine) or CYP450 2D6 substrates that have a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., pimozide, thioridazine) should generally be avoided. Caution is advised when panobinostat is used with other drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 2D6.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

panobinostat food

Applies to: panobinostat

Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, star fruit, pomegranate, or pomegranate juice during treatment with panobinostat. Doing so can increase blood levels of the medication. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; loss of appetite; fatigue; swelling in the arms or legs; heart problems (e.G., chest pain, heart failure, irregular heartbeat); liver problems; and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells, which can increase the risk of anemia, bleeding problems, and infections. Talk to your doctor 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.

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
