Interactions between your drugs

Major

carBAMazepine lazertinib

Applies to: carbamazepine and Lazcluze (lazertinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate to potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly reduce the plasma levels and effects of lazertinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a phase 1 study of healthy adult participants, concomitant use of the strong CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin reduced the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of lazertinib by 72% and 83%, respectively. Likewise, a pharmacokinetic model predicted that concomitant use with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer efavirenz would decrease lazertinib's steady state Cmax and AUC by at least 32% and 44%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends avoiding concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer due to a potential reduction in the efficacy of lazertinib. Consider use of an alternative concomitant medication with no potential to induce CYP450 3A4.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

carBAMazepine food

Applies to: carbamazepine

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of carbamazepine. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

In a small, randomized, crossover study, the administration of carbamazepine with grapefruit juice (compared to water) increased plasma drug concentrations by approximately 40%. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving carbamazepine should be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Given the drug's narrow therapeutic index, patients receiving carbamazepine therapy should preferably avoid the regular consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice to prevent any undue fluctuations in plasma drug levels. Patients should be advised to report signs of carbamazepine toxicity (nausea, visual disturbances, dizziness, or ataxia) to their physicians.

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.
