Interactions between your drugs

Major

interferon alfa-2b loncastuximab tesirine

Applies to: interferon alfa-2b / ribavirin and loncastuximab tesirine

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of loncastuximab tesirine with antineoplastic, immune-modulating, immuno- or myelosuppressive therapies may potentiate the risk of severe infections, myelosuppression, and/or other unintended additive immunosuppressive effects. Serious and fatal infections, including opportunistic infections, as well as myelosuppression, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia have been reported with the use of loncastuximab tesirine. Concomitant use may potentiate these risks. However, clinical data are not available.

MANAGEMENT: The safety and efficacy of loncastuximab tesirine use in combination with other immuno- or myelosuppressive agents have not been evaluated. Patients receiving loncastuximab tesirine should be monitored closely for the development of signs and symptoms of infection and/or myelosuppression. The manufacturers' recommendations and institutional protocols for dosage, treatment regimens, monitoring, and management of toxicities should be consulted.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ribavirin food

Applies to: interferon alfa-2b / ribavirin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of ribavirin. Administration of a single oral dose of ribavirin following a high-fat meal delayed absorption (Tmax was doubled) but increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by up to 70% compared to administration in the fasting state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, ribavirin should be administered with or immediately after a meal.

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.
