Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nintedanib capmatinib

Applies to: nintedanib and capmatinib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or dual inhibitors of P-gp and CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of nintedanib, which is a substrate of the efflux transporter and a minor substrate of the isoenzyme. In a dedicated drug interaction study, administration of nintedanib with the potent P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole, increased nintedanib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 83% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 61%. No data are available for use with other, less potent inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if nintedanib is prescribed with potent P-gp inhibitors or dual P-gp and CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Pharmacologic response to nintedanib should be monitored more closely whenever one of these inhibitors is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the nintedanib dosing adjusted or interrupted as necessary in accordance with the product labeling. Patients should be closely monitored for increased adverse effects such as liver enzyme and bilirubin elevations, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal perforation, bleeding, and arterial thromboembolic events (e.g., myocardial infarction).

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nintedanib food

Applies to: nintedanib

Grapefruit juice and Seville orange juice can increase the blood levels of nintedanib. This may increase the risk and/or severity of side effects such as liver problems, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach or intestinal wall perforation, bleeding, and cardiovascular problems such as heart attack, chest pain, or stroke. It is best to avoid or minimize the consumption of Seville oranges, Seville orange juice, grapefruit, and grapefruit juice during treatment. You should take nintedanib with food and swallow it whole with water. Taking nintedanib with food may help with absorption of the medication and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. 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.

Therapeutic duplication warnings

Therapeutic duplication is the use of more than one medicine from the same drug category or therapeutic class to treat the same condition. This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit. It can also be unintentional in cases where a patient has been treated by more than one doctor, or had prescriptions filled at more than one pharmacy, and can have potentially adverse consequences.

Multikinase inhibitors

Therapeutic duplication

The recommended maximum number of medicines in the 'multikinase inhibitors' category to be taken concurrently is usually one. Your list includes two medicines belonging to the 'multikinase inhibitors' category:
