Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

enoxaparin SUNItinib

Applies to: enoxaparin and sunitinib

MONITOR: The concomitant use of anticoagulants may theoretically increase the risk of sunitinib-induced bleeding. Severe and life-threatening tumor hemorrhage, hemoptysis, and pulmonary hemorrhage, and nonserious epistaxis have occurred during treatment with sunitinib.

MANAGEMENT: Monitoring for clinical and laboratory signs of bleeding is recommended during concomitant therapy, including INR/PT and complete blood counts. Patients should be advised to promptly report any potential signs of bleeding to their doctor, including nosebleeds, pain, swelling, or headache.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

SUNItinib food

Applies to: sunitinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during sunitinib therapy may increase the plasma concentrations of sunitinib. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism by certain compounds present in grapefruit.

MANAGEMENT: Although clinical data are lacking, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during sunitinib therapy.
