Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

daclizumab nilotinib

Applies to: daclizumab and nilotinib

MONITOR: Coadministration of daclizumab with other agents known to induce hepatotoxicity may increase the risk of liver injury. Serious drug-related hepatic injury, including liver failure and autoimmune hepatitis, has been reported across controlled and open-label studies in 1.7% of daclizumab-treated patients and may occur at any time during treatment and up to 5 months after treatment cessation. Fatal cases have occurred. In addition, cases of hepatic injury have occurred in patients taking daclizumab concomitantly with other hepatotoxic drugs; however, the contributory role of these other medicines has not been established.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if daclizumab is used with other potentially hepatotoxic agents, including non-prescription products and herbal supplements. Patients treated with daclizumab should have serum transaminase levels and total bilirubin measured prior to initiation of treatment and monthly during treatment in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and the dosing adjusted or interrupted as necessary. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience potential signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity such as fever, rash, itching, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, malaise, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, pale stools, and jaundice.

Drug and food interactions

Major

nilotinib food

Applies to: nilotinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of nilotinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the oral bioavailability of nilotinib. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. Compared to the fast state, nilotinib systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 82% when the dose was given 30 minutes after a high-fat meal. Because nilotinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with nilotinib should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and any supplement containing grapefruit extract. In addition, no food should be consumed for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after a nilotinib dose.

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.
