Drug interactions
Major drug interactions
Major:
halothane panobinostat
Applies to: halothane and panobinostat
Using panobinostat together with halothane 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). Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. 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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate:
panobinostat Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: panobinostat
Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, star fruit, pomegranate, or pomegranate juice during treatment with panobinostat. Doing so can increase blood levels of the medication. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; loss of appetite; fatigue; swelling in the arms or legs; heart problems (e.G., chest pain, heart failure, irregular heartbeat); liver problems; and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells, which can increase the risk of anemia, bleeding problems, and infections. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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: 12 conditions, including Arrhythmia, Hypotension, Anemia, Pseudotumor Cerebri, and Liver Disease.
Anemia
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Anemia.
Panobinostat causes myelosuppression. Cases of severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia have been reported with the use of panobinostat. It is recommended to obtain a baseline CBC and monitor the CBC frequently as clinically indicated. Dose modifications are recommended for myelosuppression.
Arrhythmia
Major:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a major potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Severe and fatal cardiac ischemic events, as well as severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving panobinostat. Panobinostat may prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval). Do not initiate treatment with panobinostat in patients with a QTcF >450 msec or clinically significant baseline ST-segment or T-wave abnormalities. If during treatment, the QTcF increases to >=480 msec, interrupt treatment. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. It is recommended to obtain ECG at baseline and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated. Monitor patient hydration status and electrolyte blood levels, including potassium, magnesium and phosphate, at baseline and frequently as clinically indicated during therapy and correct to prevent dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. If QT prolongation does not resolve, permanently discontinue treatment with panobinostat.
Moderate:
halothane
Halothane has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Inhalation anesthetics causes hypotension, frequently decreases pulse rate and induces supraventricular arrhythmias, and increase cerebral spinal fluid. Ventricular arrhythmia has occurred during administration of halothane due to sensitization of myocardial conduction tissue to epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therapy with inhalation anesthetics should be administered cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disorders including hemodynamic impairment or conduction disorders, significantly increased intracranial pressure, or impaired cerebral circulation.
Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.
Panobinostat causes myelosuppression. Cases of severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia have been reported with the use of panobinostat. It is recommended to obtain a baseline CBC and monitor the CBC frequently as clinically indicated. Dose modifications are recommended for myelosuppression.
Cerebral Vascular Disorder
Moderate:
halothane
Halothane has a moderate potential interaction with Cerebral Vascular Disorder.
Inhalation anesthetics causes hypotension, frequently decreases pulse rate and induces supraventricular arrhythmias, and increase cerebral spinal fluid. Ventricular arrhythmia has occurred during administration of halothane due to sensitization of myocardial conduction tissue to epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therapy with inhalation anesthetics should be administered cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disorders including hemodynamic impairment or conduction disorders, significantly increased intracranial pressure, or impaired cerebral circulation.
Electrolyte Abnormalities
Major:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a major potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.
Severe and fatal cardiac ischemic events, as well as severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving panobinostat. Panobinostat may prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval). Do not initiate treatment with panobinostat in patients with a QTcF >450 msec or clinically significant baseline ST-segment or T-wave abnormalities. If during treatment, the QTcF increases to >=480 msec, interrupt treatment. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities.
