Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
lansoprazole fedratinib
Applies to: lansoprazole and fedratinib
Lansoprazole may increase the blood levels of fedratinib in some patients.
This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as:
- Wernicke's encephalopathy, a potentially fatal condition of the brain associated with thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency
- low blood cell counts, which can lead to anemia, bleeding, and infections
- severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
- problems in the liver or pancreas
- development of other cancers
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience confusion, memory impairment, drowsiness, problems with balance and movement (e.G., difficulty walking), visual disturbances (e.G., blurred or double vision), or abnormal eye movements during treatment with fedratinib, as these may be signs and symptoms of encephalopathy.
Also let your doctor know if you experience severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or weight loss that are unresponsive to treatment as those symptoms may lead to malnutrition and lower thiamine levels.
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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate:
fedratinib Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: fedratinib
Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of fedratinib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as:
- Wernicke's encephalopathy, a potentially fatal condition of the brain associated with thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency
- low blood cell counts, which can lead to anemia, bleeding, and infections
- severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
- problems in the liver or pancreas
- development of other cancers
You should avoid the consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with fedratinib.
You may take the medication with or without food, but taking it with a high-fat meal may help reduce nausea and vomiting.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. 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.
Disease interactions
14 potential interactions Applies to: 13 conditions, including Osteoporosis, Diarrhea, Anemia, Vitamin B1 Deficiency, and Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.
Anemia
Moderate:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Anemia.
Adverse hematologic effects including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia have been associated with the use of fedratinib. Therapy with fedratinib should only be initiated in patients with a baseline platelet count of at least 50 x 10(9)/L. CBC counts should be monitored at baseline and every 3 months thereafter; treatment should be modified based on platelet levels and active bleeding.
Bleeding Associated with Coagulation Defect
Moderate:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Bleeding Associated with Coagulation Defect.
Adverse hematologic effects including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia have been associated with the use of fedratinib. Therapy with fedratinib should only be initiated in patients with a baseline platelet count of at least 50 x 10(9)/L. CBC counts should be monitored at baseline and every 3 months thereafter; treatment should be modified based on platelet levels and active bleeding.
Bleeding Disorder
Moderate:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.
Adverse hematologic effects including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia have been associated with the use of fedratinib. Therapy with fedratinib should only be initiated in patients with a baseline platelet count of at least 50 x 10(9)/L. CBC counts should be monitored at baseline and every 3 months thereafter; treatment should be modified based on platelet levels and active bleeding.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders
Major:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.
In a major safety study of a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, tofacitinib, in rheumatoid arthritis patients 50 years and older with at least 1 cardiovascular risk factor, higher rates of all-cause mortality (including sudden cardiovascular death) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) were observed with the JAK inhibitor when compared with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers. Patients who were current or past smokers had an additional increased risk. Based on a shared mechanism of action, this risk should be considered for other JAK inhibitors, including baricitinib, upadacitinib, ruxolitinib, fedratinib, ritlecitinib, deuruxolitinib, and pacritinib. Consider the benefits and risks for each individual patient prior and during treatment with JAK inhibitors, especially in patients with other cardiovascular risk factors, history of cardiovascular events, and patients who are current or past smokers. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and what to do if they occur.
Diarrhea
Major:
lansoprazole
Lansoprazole has a major potential interaction with Diarrhea.
Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve. It is recommended that patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Close monitoring is recommended in patients with diarrhea and in those taking antibacterial agents as CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all these agents. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Liver Disease
Moderate:
lansoprazole
Lansoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Lansoprazole is primarily metabolized by the liver. Although the drug is generally well-tolerated, dosage adjustments with cautious titration should be considered in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Magnesium Imbalance
Moderate:
lansoprazole
Lansoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.
Symptomatic and asymptomatic hypomagnesemia has been reported rarely in patients treated with PPIs for at least 3 months, in most cases after a year of therapy. Serious adverse events can include tetany, seizures, and arrhythmias. Caution should be used in patients prone to magnesium imbalances such as patients taking other medications that can cause hypomagnesemia (e.g., diuretics). Regular monitoring is recommended.
Osteoporosis
Moderate:
lansoprazole
Lansoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Osteoporosis.
Various published observational studies have reported that PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis related fractures of the hip, wrist or spine. The risk was increased in patients who received high doses (multiple daily doses), and long term treatment (a year or longer). Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Caution should be used in patients at risk for osteoporosis related fractures and should be managed according to established treatment guidelines.
Pseudomembranous Colitis
Major:
lansoprazole
Lansoprazole has a major potential interaction with Pseudomembranous Colitis.
Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve. It is recommended that patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Close monitoring is recommended in patients with diarrhea and in those taking antibacterial agents as CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all these agents. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Due to potential increase of exposure, patients with preexisting-existing moderate renal impairment require more intensive safety monitoring, and if necessary, dose modifications based on adverse reactions when treated with fedratinib. Reduce fedratinib dose when administered to patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 15 mL/min to 29 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault). No modification of the starting dose is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30 mL/min to 89 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault).
Smoking
Major:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a major potential interaction with Smoking.
Malignancies (including lymphomas and solid tumors) have been reported in patients treated with tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, deuruxolitinib and other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk of malignancies. Based on a shared mechanism of action, this risk should be considered for other JAK inhibitors, including ruxolitinib, pacritinib, and fedratinib. Before starting or continuing therapy, the benefits and risks for the individual patient should be considered, especially in patients with a known malignancy (other than successfully treated nonmelanoma skin cancer), patients who develop a malignancy during therapy, and patients who are current or past smokers. Periodic skin examination is recommended for patients who are at increased risk for skin cancer.
Major:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a major potential interaction with Smoking.
In a major safety study of a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, tofacitinib, in rheumatoid arthritis patients 50 years and older with at least 1 cardiovascular risk factor, higher rates of all-cause mortality (including sudden cardiovascular death) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) were observed with the JAK inhibitor when compared with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers. Patients who were current or past smokers had an additional increased risk. Based on a shared mechanism of action, this risk should be considered for other JAK inhibitors, including baricitinib, upadacitinib, ruxolitinib, fedratinib, ritlecitinib, deuruxolitinib, and pacritinib. Consider the benefits and risks for each individual patient prior and during treatment with JAK inhibitors, especially in patients with other cardiovascular risk factors, history of cardiovascular events, and patients who are current or past smokers. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and what to do if they occur.
Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder
Major:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a major potential interaction with Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.
Thrombosis (including deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and arterial thrombosis) has occurred in patients treated for inflammatory conditions with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, including baricitinib, tofacitinib, deuruxolitinib and upadacitinib. Many of these adverse events were serious and some resulted in death. Based on a shared mechanism of action, this risk should be considered for other JAK inhibitors, including ruxolitinib, fedratinib, and pacritinib. In general, JAK inhibitors should be avoided in patients who may be at increased risk of thrombosis. Tofacitinib should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration needed to achieve/maintain therapeutic response when treating ulcerative colitis. If symptoms of thrombosis occur in any patients receiving JAK inhibitors, treatment should be discontinued and patients should be evaluated promptly and treated appropriately.
Vitamin B1 Deficiency
Major:
fedratinib
Fedratinib has a major potential interaction with Vitamin B1 Deficiency.
Serious and fatal encephalopathy, including Wernicke's disease, has occurred in patients treated with fedratinib. Wernicke's encephalopathy is a neurologic emergency. Assess thiamine levels in all patients prior to starting treatment, periodically during treatment, and as clinically indicated. Do not start fedratinib in patients with thiamine deficiency; replete thiamine prior to treatment initiation. If encephalopathy is suspected, immediately discontinue fedratinib and initiate parenteral thiamine. Patients who develop any change in their mental status during treatment, including confusion or memory impairment, should be evaluated for potential encephalopathy (e.g., neurologic examination, thiamine level assessment, imaging). Monitor until symptoms resolve or improve and thiamine levels normalize.
