Interactions between your drugs

Major

dimethyl fumarate deucravacitinib

Applies to: dimethyl fumarate and Sotyktu (deucravacitinib)

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of deucravacitinib with other immunosuppressive agents may potentiate the risk of infections as well as lymphoma and other malignancies. Serious infections have been reported in patients with psoriasis who received deucravacitinib. The most common serious infections reported with deucravacitinib included pneumonia and COVID-19. Herpes zoster and herpes simplex viral reactivation were also reported during clinical studies with deucravacitinib, as well as malignancies including lymphoma.

MANAGEMENT: The safety and efficacy of deucravacitinib in combination with immunosuppressive agents has not been evaluated. The manufacturer recommends that the concomitant use of deucravacitinib with potent immunosuppressants (e.g., azathioprine, cyclosporine) should be avoided. Patients receiving deucravacitinib should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment, including the possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy. If a serious infection develops, deucravacitinib should be interrupted until the infection is controlled.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

dimethyl fumarate food

Applies to: dimethyl fumarate

Food does not significantly affect the oral bioavailability of dimethyl fumarate. Administration of dimethyl fumarate with a high-fat, high-calorie meal did not affect the systemic exposure (AUC) to its active metabolite, monomethyl fumarate (MMF), but decreased its peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 40% and prolonged the time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) from 2.0 hours to 5.5 hours. In the study, the incidence of flushing was reduced by approximately 25% in the fed state. Dimethyl fumarate may be taken with or without food; however, taking it with food may help reduce flushing.

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.
