Interactions between your drugs

Major

PACLitaxel protein-bound ublituximab

Applies to: paclitaxel protein-bound and Briumvi (ublituximab)

Using ublituximab together with PACLitaxel protein-bound may increase the risk of serious infections. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Of particular concern is an infection known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which is a rare but serious viral infection of the brain that may lead to disability and death. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. Let your doctor know if you develop signs and symptoms of infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss; yellow skin, severe fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, body aches; and pain or burning during urination. Also, seek immediate medical attention if you experience progressive weakness on one side of the body, clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, confusion, or changes in thinking, memory, and personality, as these may be early symptoms of PML. 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.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

PACLitaxel protein-bound food

Applies to: paclitaxel protein-bound

Grapefruits and grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels and effects of PACLitaxel protein-bound. This can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, muscle pain or weakness, nerve damage, 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. Contact your doctor if you experience paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, pain or burning during urination, vision problems, and/or numbness, burning or tingling in your hands and feet. You may need a dose adjustment and/or more frequent monitoring by your doctor 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.
