Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

trimipramine dacomitinib

Applies to: trimipramine and dacomitinib

MONITOR: Coadministration with dacomitinib may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2D6 isoenzyme. The mechanism is reduced clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 2D6 by dacomitinib. When dextromethorphan, a probe substrate for CYP450 2D6, was coadministered with a single 45 mg dose of dacomitinib, dextromethorphan peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 9.7- and 9.6-fold, respectively. The interaction may be particularly important for sensitive CYP450 2D6 substrates or those that demonstrate a narrow therapeutic index.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if dacomitinib is used in combination with CYP450 2D6 substrates. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever dacomitinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Avoid concomitant use with dacomitinib where minimal increases in concentration of the CYP450 2D6 substrate may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

trimipramine food

Applies to: trimipramine

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of ethanol and a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) may result altered TCA plasma levels and efficacy, and additive impairment of motor skills, especially driving skills. Acute ethanol ingestion may inhibit TCA metabolism, while chronic ingestion of large amounts of ethanol may induce hepatic TCA metabolism.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during TCA therapy. Alcoholics who have undergone detoxification should be monitored for decreased TCA efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be required.

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.
