Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

tamoxifen brentuximab vedotin

Applies to: Genox (tamoxifen) and brentuximab

Tamoxifen may increase the blood levels of brentuximab vedotin in some patients. This may increase the risk and/or severity of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, nerve damage, liver problems, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. Let your doctor know if you develop paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, fever, chills, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination. Also seek immediate medical attention if you experience potential signs and symptoms of liver damage such as fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, light colored stools, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. 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.
