Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

crizotinib landiolol

Applies to: crizotinib and Rapiblyk (landiolol)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Crizotinib can cause bradycardia and may have additive effects with other drugs that also slow the heart rate. Bradycardia with a heart rate less than 50 beats per minute occurred in 10% to 14% of patients treated with crizotinib in two clinical studies.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of crizotinib with other agents known to cause bradycardia such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, cholinesterase inhibitors, clonidine, and digoxin should generally be avoided whenever possible. Otherwise, heart rate and blood pressure should be monitored closely. If Grade 2 or 3 symptomatic bradycardia occurs, crizotinib should be withheld, the use of concomitant medications re-evaluated, and the dosage of crizotinib adjusted accordingly. Crizotinib should be permanently discontinued for Grade 4 bradycardia. In patients who develop Grade 4 bradycardia associated with concomitant medications known to cause bradycardia or hypotension, crizotinib should be withheld until Grade 1 or less, and if concomitant medications can be discontinued, crizotinib may be restarted at 250 mg once daily with frequent monitoring.

Drug and food interactions

Major

crizotinib food

Applies to: crizotinib

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with crizotinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of crizotinib to dangerous levels and cause an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or fast or pounding heartbeats during treatment with crizotinib. You may take crizotinib with or without food, but take it the same time each day. 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.
