Can you take Cannabidiol with Tepotinib?

Cannabidiol has a moderate potential interaction with Depression.

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical studies involving the use of 11 different AEDs showed that patients receiving AEDs had approximately twice the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients receiving placebo. AEDs should be administered cautiously in patients with depression or other psychiatric disorders; phentermine-topiramate should be avoided in patients with history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation. The risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior should be carefully assessed against the risk of untreated illness, bearing in mind that epilepsy and many other conditions for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients, caregivers, and families should be alert to the emergence or worsening of signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts or behavior. If patients have symptoms of suicidal ideation or behavior, a dosage reduction or treatment discontinuation should be considered.

Cannabidiol has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Because of the risk of hepatocellular injury, serum transaminases (ALT and AST) and total bilirubin levels should be measured in all patients prior to starting treatment with cannabidiol. Cannabidiol causes dose-related elevations of liver transaminases, and in controlled studies 13% of patients receiving treatment had elevations above 3 times the ULN. Caution and monitoring is advised in patients with hepatic impairment, which can be at increased risk. Dose adjustment is recommended in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment or severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment. It may be necessary to have slower dose titration in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment than in patients without hepatic impairment. If a patient develops clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction (e.g., unexplained nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia, or jaundice and/or dark urine), promptly measure serum transaminases and total bilirubin and interrupt or discontinue treatment with cannabidiol, as appropriate.

Tepotinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of tepotinib may cause hepatotoxicity, sometimes resulting in fatalities. No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild (Child-Pugh A) or moderate (Child-Pugh B) liver dysfunction. Care should be exercised when using tepotinib in patients with severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh C) as its pharmacokinetics and safety have not been studied in this patient population. It is recommended to monitor liver function tests (including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of therapy, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months of therapy, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop increased transaminases or bilirubin. Tepotinib should be withheld, the dose should be reduced, or therapy should be permanently discontinued based on the severity of the adverse reaction.

Cannabidiol has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical studies involving the use of 11 different AEDs showed that patients receiving AEDs had approximately twice the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients receiving placebo. AEDs should be administered cautiously in patients with depression or other psychiatric disorders; phentermine-topiramate should be avoided in patients with history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation. The risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior should be carefully assessed against the risk of untreated illness, bearing in mind that epilepsy and many other conditions for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients, caregivers, and families should be alert to the emergence or worsening of signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts or behavior. If patients have symptoms of suicidal ideation or behavior, a dosage reduction or treatment discontinuation should be considered.

Tepotinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.

The use of tepotinib may cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis, sometimes resulting in fatalities. Care should be exercised when using this drug in patients with preexisting pulmonary impairment. Tepotinib should be immediately withheld in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinued if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified. Patients should be monitored for new/worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis.

Tepotinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Care should be exercised when using tepotinib in patients with severe renal dysfunction (CrCl less than 30 mL/min) as the recommended dosage has not been established in this patient population. No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal dysfunction (CrCl 30 to 89 mL/min).
