Interactions between your drugs

Major

chloramphenicol givinostat

Applies to: chloramphenicol and givinostat

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of chloramphenicol with other agents that can cause bone marrow depression, aplastic anemia, or agranulocytosis may increase the risk and/or severity of hematologic toxicity. Serious and fatal blood dyscrasias (aplastic anemia, hypoplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia, and bone marrow depression) have been reported after short-term and long-term systemic therapy with chloramphenicol.

MANAGEMENT: Concurrent use of chloramphenicol with other agents that can cause bone marrow depression, aplastic anemia, or agranulocytosis, such as sulfonamides, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, procainamide, phenylbutazone, clozapine, and depot formulations of antipsychotic drugs, should be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

givinostat food

Applies to: givinostat

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the systemic exposure of givinostat. An open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose food effect study conducted in 12 healthy males used givinostat liquid filled capsules. Subjects received a single oral dose of givinostat (100 mg) in the fasting state or after a high-fat standard meal, with a washout period of at least 1 week in between. The high-fat standard meal resulted in an increase in systemic exposure (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of about 40% and 23%, respectively, when compared to the fasted state. Additionally, the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was delayed slightly from 2 to 3 hours.

MANAGEMENT: Givinostat should be administered with food to increase its absorption. In the case of the oral suspension, this can also help mask its bitter taste.

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.
