Fever

Moderate:

Ibrance

The palbociclib in Ibrance has a moderate potential interaction with Fever.

The use of palbociclib may cause neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia and neutropenic sepsis. It is recommended to monitor complete blood counts prior to starting treatment and at the beginning of each therapy cycle with palbociclib, as well as on Day 15 of the first 2 cycles, and as clinically indicated thereafter. Dose interruption, dose reduction, or delay in starting treatment cycles is recommended for patients who develop Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia.

Interstitial Lung Disease

Moderate:

Ibrance

The palbociclib in Ibrance has a moderate potential interaction with Interstitial Lung Disease.

The use of certain multikinase inhibitors has been associated with pulmonary toxicity. Serious cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD), including fatal cases and interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis have been reported. Caution is recommended when using these agents in patients with a history of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis or those patients presenting with acute onset of new or progressive unexplained pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever pending diagnostic evaluation. If ILD is confirmed, these agents should be permanently discontinued and appropriate measures should be instituted. Treatment should be immediately withheld in patients diagnosed with ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinued if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis have been identified.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

Ibrance
