Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

diclofenac topical panobinostat

Applies to: diclofenac / fluorouracil topical and panobinostat

MONITOR: Systemically and topically administered nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may potentiate the risk of bleeding in patients treated with anticoagulants and other drugs that affect hemostasis such as platelet inhibitors, thrombin inhibitors, thrombolytic agents, or agents that commonly cause thrombocytopenia. The pharmacologic effects of NSAIDs that contribute to this interaction include prolongation of prothrombin time and inhibition of platelet adhesion and aggregation.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if NSAIDs are used in combination with other drugs that affect hemostasis. Close clinical and laboratory observation for hematologic complications is recommended. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs of bleeding to their doctor, including pain, swelling, headache, dizziness, weakness, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual flow, vaginal bleeding, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bleeding or bruising, red or brown urine, or red or black stools.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

panobinostat food

Applies to: panobinostat

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of panobinostat. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Increased exposure to panobinostat may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, peripheral edema, cardiotoxicity, ECG abnormalities, electrolyte disturbances, bleeding complications, hepatotoxicity, and myelosuppression.

Food may delay the rate of absorption of panobinostat, but does not significantly affect the overall extent of absorption. When a single oral dose of panobinostat was administered to 36 patients with advanced cancer 30 minutes after a high-fat meal, panobinostat peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were approximately 44% and 16% lower, respectively, compared to administration under fasting conditions. The median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was prolonged by 2.5 hours.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with panobinostat. The manufacturer also recommends avoiding star fruit, Seville oranges, pomegranate, and pomegranate juice. Panobinostat may be administered with or without food.

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.
