Interactions between your drugs
atorvastatin tarlatamab
Applies to: Lipitor (atorvastatin) and tarlatamab
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with tarlatamab may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 isoenzymes. Initiation of tarlatamab treatment causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 isoenzymes, although the potential for interaction has not been studied. According to the manufacturer, the highest drug-drug interaction risk would be during and for up to 14 days after the occurrence of cytokine release syndrome.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tarlatamab is coadministered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 isoenzymes, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range, where minimal changes to concentration may lead to significant adverse reactions, such as carbamazepine, colchicine, cyclosporine, disopyramide, phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, warfarin, macrolide immunosuppressants, vinca alkaloids, and some narcotic analgesics. Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring are recommended, particularly during and after cytokine release syndrome, and individual product labeling for the CYP450 substrate(s) should be consulted for specific dosage adjustment recommendations.
Drug and food interactions
atorvastatin food
Applies to: Lipitor (atorvastatin)
Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of atorvastatin. This can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage and a rare but serious condition called rhabdomyolysis that involves the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue. In some cases, rhabdomyolysis can cause kidney damage and even death. You should limit your consumption of grapefruit juice to no more than 1 quart per day during treatment with atorvastatin. Let your doctor know immediately if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness during treatment, especially if these symptoms are accompanied by fever or dark colored urine. You should also seek immediate medical attention if you develop fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage. 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.
