Disease interactions

9 potential interactions Applies to: 9 conditions, including Seizures, Head Injury, Liver Disease, Brain Tumor, and Noninfectious Colitis.

Biliary Obstruction

Major:

troleandomycin

Troleandomycin has a major potential interaction with Biliary Obstruction.

Troleandomycin is primarily excreted by the liver and may accumulate in patients with impaired hepatic function. In addition, the use of troleandomycin has been associated with an allergic type of cholestatic hepatitis, particularly in patients receiving the drug for more than 2 weeks or given repeated courses. Therapy with troleandomycin should be administered cautiously in patients with liver and/or biliary disease. Liver function tests should be monitored during prolonged or repeated courses of therapy, and the drug discontinued if abnormalities develop.

Brain Tumor

Moderate:

enzalutamide

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Brain Tumor.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.

CNS Infection

Moderate:

enzalutamide

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with CNS Infection.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.

Head Injury

Moderate:

enzalutamide

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Head Injury.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.

History - Cerebrovascular Disease

Moderate:

enzalutamide

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with History - Cerebrovascular Disease.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.

Liver Disease

Major:

troleandomycin

Troleandomycin has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Troleandomycin is primarily excreted by the liver and may accumulate in patients with impaired hepatic function. In addition, the use of troleandomycin has been associated with an allergic type of cholestatic hepatitis, particularly in patients receiving the drug for more than 2 weeks or given repeated courses. Therapy with troleandomycin should be administered cautiously in patients with liver and/or biliary disease. Liver function tests should be monitored during prolonged or repeated courses of therapy, and the drug discontinued if abnormalities develop.

Noninfectious Colitis

Major:

troleandomycin

Troleandomycin has a major potential interaction with Noninfectious Colitis.

Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), formerly pseudomembranous colitis, has been reported with almost all antibacterial drugs and may range from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. The most common culprits include clindamycin and lincomycin. Antibacterial therapy alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C difficile, whose toxins A and B contribute to CDAD development. Morbidity and mortality are increased with hypertoxin-producing strains of C difficile; these infections can be resistant to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea after antibacterial use. Since CDAD has been reported to occur more than 2 months after antibacterial use, careful medical history is necessary. Therapy with broad-spectrum antibacterials and other agents with significant antibacterial activity should be administered cautiously in patients with history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis; pseudomembranous colitis (generally characterized by severe, persistent diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps, and sometimes associated with the passage of blood and mucus), if it occurs, may be more severe in these patients and may be associated with flares in underlying disease activity. Antibacterial drugs not directed against C difficile may need to be stopped if CDAD is suspected or confirmed. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C difficile, and surgical evaluation should be started as clinically indicated.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

enzalutamide

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Enzalutamide has not been assessed in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. Caution is advised if used on these patients. No initial dosage adjustment is required on patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.

Seizures

Moderate:

enzalutamide

Enzalutamide has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

Seizures occurred in 0.5% of patients receiving enzalutamide in clinical trials. Patients with predisposing factors for seizures were generally excluded. Caution is advised if using in patients with possible predisposing factors such as history of seizures, history of trauma or head injury, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, Alzheimer's disease, meningioma or brain tumor or infection, and any unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 12 months. Enzalutamide should be discontinued permanently in any patient who develops a seizure during treatment.
