Drug and food interactions

Major

ruxolitinib topical food

Applies to: Opzelura (ruxolitinib topical)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR CLOSELY: Smoking during treatment with topical ruxolitinib may increase the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the risk of developing malignancies, including lymphomas. During clinical trials, patients who were current or past smokers and received oral Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors to treat inflammatory conditions had an additional increased risk of overall malignancies. Additionally, oral JAK inhibitors reportedly increase patients' risk of MACE, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke, particularly in patients who are current or past smokers or patients with other cardiovascular risk factors.

MANAGEMENT: The potential risks and benefits of topical ruxolitinib should be carefully weighed prior to initiating therapy, particularly in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, as well as those with a history of malignancy, those who develop a malignancy while on treatment, and/or patients who are current or past smokers. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and the steps to take if they occur. The manufacturer recommends discontinuing topical ruxolitinib in patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke.

Moderate

doxycycline food

Applies to: doxycycline

Iron can bind to doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract, which may prevent their absorption into the bloodstream and possibly reduce their effectiveness. To avoid or minimize the interaction, iron-containing medications and doxycycline should preferably be taken at least three to four hours apart in most cases. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have trouble separating the dosing times. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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.
