Can you take Chlorotrianisene with Imatinib?

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, and neutropenia occur with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting bone marrow suppression. A complete blood count should be performed every 1 to 2 weeks for the first month of therapy and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. To manage myelosuppression, withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Cardiovascular events (including arterial vascular occlusive events, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and ischemic cerebrovascular events) have been reported in patients receiving BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if acute signs or symptoms of cardiovascular events occur. Cardiovascular status should be evaluated, and cardiovascular risk factors should be monitored and actively managed during treatment.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Gastritis/Duodenitis.

Imatinib has been sometimes associated with GI irritation, and it should be taken with food and a large glass of water to minimize this problem. There have been rare reports, including fatalities, of gastrointestinal perforation. Caution should be used in patients with history of GI disorders.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Perforation.

Imatinib has been sometimes associated with GI irritation, and it should be taken with food and a large glass of water to minimize this problem. There have been rare reports, including fatalities, of gastrointestinal perforation. Caution should be used in patients with history of GI disorders.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Patients with severe hepatic impairment tend to have higher exposure to both imatinib and its metabolite than patients with normal hepatic function, and dose might need to be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, there have been reports of hepatotoxicity both with short and long term use of imatinib. Liver function should be monitored before initiation of treatment and regularly during therapy. Dose reduction or interruption might be needed if laboratory abnormalities are found.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pleural Effusion.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The mean exposure to imatinib is increased in patients with renal impairment compared to those with normal renal function. Dose reductions are necessary in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment.

Imatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Underactive Thyroid.

Hypothyroidism cases have been reported in thyroidectomy patients undergoing levothyroxine replacement therapy during treatment with imatinib. Caution should be used in these patients and TSH levels should be monitored closely.
