Disease interactions

11 potential interactions Applies to: 11 conditions, including Peripheral Neuropathy, Hypotension, Heart Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, and Liver Disease.

Coagulation Defects and Disorders

Moderate:

haemophilus b conjugate (prp-t) vaccine

haemophilus b conjugate (PRP-T) vaccine has a moderate potential interaction with Coagulation Defects and Disorders.

In patients with thrombocytopenia or coagulation disorders, IM injections may produce bleeding and hematomas. Patients with a platelet count less than 50,000/mm3 are at an increased risk. Caution is advised if the vaccine (e.g., plague vaccine; hepatitis A and B vaccines; aluminum-adsorbed DTaP, DTP, DT, or Td) must be administered IM. The risk of bleeding may be minimized by vaccination immediately after the administration of replacement factor, use of a 23-gauge (or smaller) needle, and immediate application of direct pressure to the vaccination site for at least 2 minutes.

Dehydration

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

There was an incidence of 8% of hypotension in patients receiving bortezomib therapy. Caution should be used when treating patients with history of hypotension, syncope, dehydration, or taking antihypertensive medication.

Diabetes Mellitus

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia was reported during clinical trials in diabetic patients in treatment with oral hypoglycemics and receiving bortezomib. Patients on oral antidiabetic agents may require close monitoring of their blood glucose levels and adjustment of the dose of their antidiabetic medication when using bortezomib.

Heart Disease

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Disease.

Acute development or exacerbation of congestive heart failure and new onset of decreased left ventricular ejection fraction have occurred during treatment with bortezomib, including in patients with no risk factors. Patients with risk factors for, or existing heart disease should be closely monitored. There have also been isolated cases of QT interval prolongation but causality has not been established.

Hypotension

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Hypotension.

There was an incidence of 8% of hypotension in patients receiving bortezomib therapy. Caution should be used when treating patients with history of hypotension, syncope, dehydration, or taking antihypertensive medication.

Immunodeficiency

Moderate:

haemophilus b conjugate (prp-t) vaccine

haemophilus b conjugate (PRP-T) vaccine has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.

The expected antibody responses may not be obtained when live attenuated vaccines and/or toxoids are administered to immunosuppressed persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Caution and close monitoring is advised.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Cases of acute liver failure and other hepatic reactions such as hepatitis, increases in liver enzymes, and hyperbilirubinemia have been reported in patients receiving bortezomib. Monitoring is recommended and caution should be used when using bortezomib in patients with hepatic impairment. The exposure of bortezomib is increased in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, and starting dose should be reduced in those patients.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Peripheral Neuropathy.

Bortezomib can cause peripheral neuropathy that is predominantly sensory; however cases of severe sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy have been also reported. Patients with preexisting symptoms (numbness, pain or burning feeling in hands or feet) may experience worsening symptoms during treatment. Patients should be monitored for symptoms of neuropathy, and a dose adjustment might be required in those patients that experience them.

Pulmonary Heart or Vascular Disease

Moderate:

bortezomib

Bortezomib has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Heart or Vascular Disease.

There have been reports of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease of unknown etiology in patients receiving bortezomib. Additionally, there have been reports of pulmonary hypertension associated with bortezomib administration in the absence of left heart failure or significant pulmonary disease. Treatment interruption should be considered in the event of new or worsening cardiopulmonary symptoms until a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is conducted. Caution should be exercised when using bortezomib in patients with cardiopulmonary pathologies.

Thrombocytopathy

Moderate:

haemophilus b conjugate (prp-t) vaccine

haemophilus b conjugate (PRP-T) vaccine has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombocytopathy.

In patients with thrombocytopenia or coagulation disorders, IM injections may produce bleeding and hematomas. Patients with a platelet count less than 50,000/mm3 are at an increased risk. Caution is advised if the vaccine (e.g., plague vaccine; hepatitis A and B vaccines; aluminum-adsorbed DTaP, DTP, DT, or Td) must be administered IM.
