Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

dabrafenib momelotinib

Applies to: dabrafenib and momelotinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and/or 1B3 may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of momelotinib, which is a substrate of the hepatic uptake transporters. Clinical studies have demonstrated that concomitant use with a single dose of the OATP1B1/B3 inhibitor rifampin increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of momelotinib by 40% and 57% respectively. The Cmax and AUC of the active metabolite of momelotinib, M21, was also increased, by 6% and 12%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if momelotinib is used in combination with inhibitors of OATP1B1 and/or 1B3. Dosage adjustments of momelotinib may be required. Patients should be advised to report any momelotinib-related adverse reactions such as bacterial or viral infection, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, hepatotoxicity, thrombosis, and adverse cardiovascular events.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

dabrafenib food

Applies to: dabrafenib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce as well as delay the absorption of dabrafenib. In study subjects, administration of dabrafenib with a high-fat meal decreased peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 51% and 31%, respectively, and delayed median Tmax by approximately 3.6 hours compared to administration in the fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: Dabrafenib should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

Therapeutic duplication warnings

Therapeutic duplication is the use of more than one medicine from the same drug category or therapeutic class to treat the same condition. This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit. It can also be unintentional in cases where a patient has been treated by more than one doctor, or had prescriptions filled at more than one pharmacy, and can have potentially adverse consequences.

Duplication

Multikinase inhibitors

Therapeutic duplication

The recommended maximum number of medicines in the 'multikinase inhibitors' category to be taken concurrently is usually one. Your list includes two medicines belonging to the 'multikinase inhibitors' category:

  • dabrafenib
  • momelotinib

Note: In certain circumstances, the benefits of taking this combination of drugs may outweigh any risks. Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your medications or dosage.

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.
