Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Major

naproxen cabozantinib

Applies to: Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan) and cabozantinib

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of cabozantinib and drugs that interfere with platelet function or coagulation may potentiate the risk of bleeding complications. Treatment with cabozantinib is associated with severe, sometimes fatal hemorrhage including hemoptysis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In clinical trials, the incidence of Grade 3 hemorrhagic events was higher in patients receiving cabozantinib compared with placebo (3% vs. 1%).

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of other medications that interfere with platelet function or coagulation should be considered cautiously in patients treated with cabozantinib. Close clinical and laboratory observation for bleeding complications is recommended during therapy. The INR should be monitored more frequently during coadministration of warfarin. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs of bleeding to their physician, including pain, swelling, headache, dizziness, weakness, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual flow, vaginal bleeding, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bleeding or bruising, red or brown urine, or red or black stools.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cabozantinib food

Applies to: cabozantinib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may alter the oral bioavailability of cabozantinib. When healthy subjects were given a single 140 mg oral dose with a high-fat meal, cabozantinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 41% and 57%, respectively, relative to administration under fasting conditions. In clinical studies, patients were administered cabozantinib without food.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice is likely to increase the plasma concentrations of cabozantinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, the interaction has not been studied. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.

MANAGEMENT: Cabozantinib should be administered at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. The consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit extract should be avoided.

Moderate

naproxen food

Applies to: Treximet (naproxen / sumatriptan)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

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.
