- chloramphenicol ophthalmic
- fedratinib
Interactions between your drugs
chloramphenicol ophthalmic fedratinib
Applies to: chloramphenicol ophthalmic and fedratinib
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 fedratinib 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.
Drug and food interactions
fedratinib food
Applies to: fedratinib
Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of fedratinib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as Wernicke's encephalopathy, a potentially fatal condition of the brain associated with thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency; low blood cell counts, which can lead to anemia, bleeding, and infections; severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting; problems in the liver or pancreas; and development of other cancers. You should avoid the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with fedratinib. You may take the medication with or without food, but taking it with a high-fat meal may help reduce nausea and vomiting. 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.
