Interactions between your drugs

Major

dasatinib encorafenib

Applies to: dasatinib and encorafenib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of dasatinib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When a single morning dose of dasatinib was administered to 20 healthy subjects following 8 days of continuous evening dosing of 600 mg rifampin, a potent CYP450 3A4 inducer, mean dasatinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 81% and 82%, respectively, compared to dasatinib administered alone. Loss of therapeutic efficacy may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of dasatinib with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided. Alternative therapeutic agents with less enzyme induction potential should be considered whenever possible during treatment with dasatinib. If coadministration is required, a dosage increase for dasatinib may be necessary depending on patient tolerability. Close monitoring for toxicities (e.g., myelosuppression, bleeding complications, fluid retention, QT prolongation) is recommended if the dosage of dasatinib is increased. The dosage should be reduced to the indicated dosage following discontinuation of the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer.

Drug and food interactions

Major

dasatinib food

Applies to: dasatinib

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with dasatinib. Grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels and effects of dasatinib, which may result in excessive slowing of heart rate or other conduction disturbances and it may affect your bone marrow function, resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, paleness, fatigue, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, blood in phlegm, weight loss, pain or burning during urination, red or inflamed skin, or body sores during treatment with dasatinib. 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.

You should preferably avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking encorafenib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of encorafenib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as bleeding complications, eye and vision problems, liver problems, irregular heart rhythm, and development of new skin cancers. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.

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.
