Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Minor

pantoprazole bortezomib

Applies to: Protonix IV (pantoprazole) and bortezomib

Coadministration with bortezomib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2C19 isoenzyme. The clinical significance is unknown, as bortezomib is considered a weak inhibitor of CYP450 2C19 in vitro.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

bortezomib food

Applies to: bortezomib

GENERALLY AVOID: Data from in vitro and animal (mice) studies suggest that green tea may antagonize the cytotoxic effects of bortezomib. Polyphenols in green tea such as (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) have been shown to block the proteasome inhibitory action of bortezomib in multiple myeloma and glioblastoma cancer cell lines. The mechanism appears to involve a direct chemical reaction between the boronic acid moiety of bortezomib and the 1,2-benzenediol groups present in certain polyphenols leading to inactivation of bortezomib. However, one group of investigators reported that no antagonism of bortezomib was observed in preclinical in vivo experiments where EGCG plasma concentrations are commensurate with dietary or supplemental intake.

MANAGEMENT: Until more data are available, it may be advisable to avoid or limit consumption of green tea and green tea products during treatment with bortezomib. The interaction has not been demonstrated for other, non-boronic acid proteasome inhibitors.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
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.
