Major drug interactions

Major:

mycophenolate mofetil influenza virus vaccine, H1N1, live

Applies to: Myhibbin (mycophenolate mofetil) and influenza virus vaccine, h1n1, live

If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with mycophenolate mofetil, you should let your doctor know before receiving influenza virus vaccine, H1N1, live. Depending on the dose and length of time you have been on mycophenolate mofetil, you may be at risk for developing an infection from the vaccine or have a reduced response to the vaccine. In some situations, your doctor may want to delay vaccination to give your body time to recover from the effects of mycophenolate mofetil therapy. Conversely, if you have recently been vaccinated with influenza virus vaccine, H1N1, live, your doctor may choose to postpone treatment with mycophenolate mofetil for a few weeks. 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

No alcohol/food interactions were found. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.

Disease interactions

8 potential interactions Applies to: 8 conditions, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Peptic Ulcer, Liver Disease, Neutropenia, and Renal Dysfunction.

Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage.

Gastrointestinal, rectal, and duodenal hemorrhage, hemorrhagic pancreatitis and rarely, large-intestine perforation have occurred in patients receiving mycophenolate. These events occurred primarily at dosages of mycophenolate >2 grams per day. Therapy with mycophenolate should be administered cautiously in patients with active gastrointestinal disease.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Gastrointestinal, rectal, and duodenal hemorrhage, hemorrhagic pancreatitis and rarely, large-intestine perforation have occurred in patients receiving mycophenolate. These events occurred primarily at dosages of mycophenolate >2 grams per day. Therapy with mycophenolate should be administered cautiously in patients with active gastrointestinal disease.

Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome.

Mycophenolate mofetil is an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor; therefore it should be avoided in patients with hereditary deficiencies of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HGPRT) such as Lesch-Nyhan and Kelley-Seegmiller syndromes because it may cause an exacerbation of disease symptoms characterized by the overproduction and accumulation of uric acid leading to symptoms associated with gout such as acute arthritis, tophi, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis and renal disease including renal failure.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Mycophenolate mofetil (inactive) undergoes complete presystemic metabolism to active MPA , further metabolism to inactive forms, some of which undergo enterohepatic circulation producing a second peak of MPA. Alcoholic cirrhosis (parenchymal cell damage) does not appear to affect the metabolism of MPA to inactive forms. Hepatic disease/dysfunction due to other etiologies may induce different effects.

Neutropenia

Major:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a major potential interaction with Neutropenia.

Severe neutropenia has occurred in up to 2% of patients administered mycophenolate. Therapy with mycophenolate should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to neutropenia. Mycophenolate should be discontinued or the dose reduced in patients who develop neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <1300/mm3). Clinical monitoring of hematopoietic function is recommended. Complete blood counts should be performed weekly during the first month, two times a month during the second and third months, and monthly for the remainder of the first year of treatment.

Peptic Ulcer

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Peptic Ulcer.

Gastrointestinal, rectal, and duodenal hemorrhage, hemorrhagic pancreatitis and rarely, large-intestine perforation have occurred in patients receiving mycophenolate. These events occurred primarily at dosages of mycophenolate >2 grams per day. Therapy with mycophenolate should be administered cautiously in patients with active gastrointestinal disease.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Mycophenolate undergoes complete presystemic metabolism to its active form, MPA . Less than 1% of MPA is excreted in the urine. In a single-dose study, the area under the curve (AUC) for MPA in patients with severe chronic renal impairment (creatinine clearance <25 mL/min) was approximately 75% greater than those of healthy volunteers (creatinine clearance >80 mL/min). The AUC for the inactive metabolite was 3 to 6 times higher. Multiple dose studies have not been performed. No data are available for cardiac transplant patients with severe renal impairment and when benefit outweighs risk, therapy with mycophenolate should be administered with extreme caution.

Vaccination

Moderate:

Myhibbin

The mycophenolate mofetil in Myhibbin has a moderate potential interaction with Vaccination.

During treatment with mycophenolate mofetil, the use of live attenuated vaccines should be avoided and patients should be advised that vaccinations may be less effective. Advise patients to discuss with the physician before seeking any immunizations.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
