Interactions between your drugs
efavirenz glasdegib
Applies to: efavirenz and glasdegib
Using efavirenz together with glasdegib can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). Additionally, efavirenz may reduce the blood levels of glasdegib, which may make the medication less effective in some cases. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone. 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.

Taking efavirenz with food increases the amount of medicine in your body, which may increase the frequency of side effects.

However, these symptoms may be more severe if efavirenz is used with alcohol or mood-altering (street) drugs. You should avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. 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.

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels and effects of glasdegib.

You should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with glasdegib. Otherwise, you may need a dose adjustment and/or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use this medication.
