Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
chloramphenicol ophthalmic ziftomenib
Applies to: chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic and ziftomenib
After using chloramphenicol ophthalmic, some of the medication may be absorbed into the bloodstream and may increase the risk of side effects that affect your bone marrow function, resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. Using chloramphenicol ophthalmic together with ziftomenib may further increase those risks. You may be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems or infections due to low blood cell counts. Although serious side effects are not very common with medications administered to the eyes, ears, or vagina because only limited amounts of the medication generally get absorbed into the bloodstream, they can sometimes occur. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. You should seek medical attention if you develop paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination. 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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Major food/lifestyle interactions
Major:
ziftomenib Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: ziftomenib
High-fat content meals may significantly increase the blood level and effects of ziftomenib. It is recommended that ziftomenib be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Grapefruit juice may also increase the blood levels of ziftomenib, which can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). Increased levels of ziftomenib may also increase the risk of developing a serious and potentially life-threatening condition called differentiation syndrome. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome include fever, joint or bone pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, cough, chest pain, rapid weight gain and/or swelling, rash, and decreased urinary output. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms and/or symptoms of QT prolongation such as sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with ziftomenib. The risk and/or severity of other side effects may also increase, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or infections. You may need additional monitoring if grapefruit or grapefruit juice are consumed during treatment with ziftomenib. Talk to a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns. 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.
Disease interactions
9 potential interactions Applies to: 9 conditions, including Heart Failure, Eye Conditions, Cataract, Liver Disease, and Long QT Syndrome.
Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts
Major:
chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic
The chloramphenicol ophthalmic in chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic has a major potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.
Chloramphenicol may cause bone marrow depression and other hematologic toxicities, which can be irreversible or reversible. The former type is independent of dose and results in aplastic anemia with a high rate of mortality, generally from hemorrhage or infection. It has been reported following both systemic and topical administration of chloramphenicol and has an estimated incidence of 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 40,000 courses of therapy. Bone marrow aplasia or hypoplasia may occur after a single dose but more often develops weeks or months after the drug has been discontinued. A reversible myelosuppression occurs much more frequently and is characterized by anemia, vacuolation of red blood cells, decreased reticulocyte count, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, increased serum iron concentrations, and increased serum iron-binding capacity. It is dose-dependent, occurring regularly at chloramphenicol dosages exceeding 4 g/day (in adults) or at plasma drug concentrations >= 25 mcg/mL, and usually responds to withdrawal of the drug. Therapy with chloramphenicol should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients with preexisting blood dyscrasias and/or bone marrow depression. Complete blood counts and differential reticulocyte counts should be performed in all patients prior to initiating therapy and approximately every 2 days during therapy. Marked depression of blood counts and/or development of other hematologic abnormalities may be indication for withdrawal of chloramphenicol therapy.
Cataract
Major:
chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic
The hydrocortisone ophthalmic in chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic has a major potential interaction with Cataract.
Prolonged use of corticosteroids may cause posterior subcapsular cataracts and elevated intraocular pressure, the latter of which may lead to glaucoma and/or damage to the optic nerves. Therapy with ophthalmic corticosteroids should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of cataracts, glaucoma, or increased intraocular pressure. If these agents are used for more than 10 days, the manufacturers recommend that intraocular pressure be routinely monitored, including in children. The equatorial and posterior subcapsular portions of the lens should be examined for changes.
Electrolyte Abnormalities
Moderate:
ziftomenib
Ziftomenib has a moderate potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.
Ziftomenib can cause QT (QTc) interval prolongation. Patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval may require more frequent ECG monitoring. Perform an ECG and correct electrolyte abnormalities prior to starting treatment; do not initiate if QTcF is greater than 480 msec. Monitor ECG at least once weekly for the first 4 weeks of therapy, and at least monthly thereafter.
Eye Conditions
Major:
chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic
The hydrocortisone ophthalmic in chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic has a major potential interaction with Eye Conditions.
The use of ophthalmic corticosteroids is contraindicated in most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva, including epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, and varicella; fungal diseases of ocular structures; mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis, of the eye; and any acute, purulent, untreated ocular infections. Corticosteroids may decrease host resistance to infectious agents, thus prolonging the course and/or exacerbating the severity of the infection while encouraging the development of new or secondary infection. In addition, administration of ophthalmic corticosteroids in severe ocular disease, especially acute herpes simplex keratitis, may lead to excessive corneal and scleral thinning, increasing the risk for perforation. In less serious ocular infections, therapy with ophthalmic corticosteroids may be administered but only with caution and accompanied by appropriate antimicrobial agents. Besides compromising host immune response, corticosteroids may also mask the symptoms of infection, thus hindering the recognition of potential ineffectiveness of the antibiotic therapy. If infection does not improve or becomes worse during administration of an ophthalmic corticosteroid, the drug should be discontinued and other appropriate therapy initiated.
Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension
Major:
chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic
The hydrocortisone ophthalmic in chloramphenicol / hydrocortisone / polymyxin b ophthalmic has a major potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.
Prolonged use of corticosteroids may cause posterior subcapsular cataracts and elevated intraocular pressure, the latter of which may lead to glaucoma and/or damage to the optic nerves. Therapy with ophthalmic corticosteroids should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of cataracts, glaucoma, or increased intraocular pressure. If these agents are used for more than 10 days, the manufacturers recommend that intraocular pressure be routinely monitored, including in children. The equatorial and posterior subcapsular portions of the lens should be examined for changes.
