Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ceritinib vimseltinib

Applies to: ceritinib and vimseltinib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with vimseltinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, involves decreased clearance due to inhibition of P-gp by vimseltinib. Based on model-informed drug interaction studies, coadministration of the P-gp substrate dabigatran with vimseltinib (30 mg twice weekly) is predicted to increase the systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of dabigatran by 2 to 3-fold. However, if dabigatran is administered 4 hours after vimseltinib (30 mg twice weekly), the AUC and Cmax are predicted to increase by only up to 1.3-fold. Clinical data are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of vimseltinib with P-gp substrates should generally be avoided. If coadministration is considered necessary, vimseltinib should be taken at least 4 hours prior to the P-gp substrate. The individual product labeling of the P-gp substrate should be consulted for further guidance.

Drug and food interactions

Major

ceritinib food

Applies to: ceritinib

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with ceritinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of ceritinib to dangerous levels, increasing the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. Other, more common side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may also increase. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with ceritinib. Food may also increase the blood levels of ceritinib. Therefore, you should take ceritinib on an empty stomach, meaning no food should be eaten for at least two hours before or after taking ceritinib. 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 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.
