Interactions between your drugs
promazine ritlecitinib
Applies to: promazine and Litfulo (ritlecitinib)
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of ritlecitinib with other immunosuppressive agents may potentiate the risk of infections as well as malignancies, including non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Serious infections have been reported in patients who have received ritlecitinib. The most common serious infections reported with ritlecitinib included appendicitis, pneumonia, COVID-19, and sepsis. Herpes virus reactivation (e.g., herpes zoster) was also reported during clinical studies with ritlecitinib, as well as malignancies including NMSC.
MANAGEMENT: The safety and efficacy of ritlecitinib in combination with immunosuppressive agents has not been evaluated. It is recommended that the concomitant use of ritlecitinib with other Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, cyclosporine, or other potent immunosuppressants be avoided. Some authorities recommend avoiding ritlecitinib with all systemic immunosuppressive agents. Patients receiving ritlecitinib should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment, including the possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy. If a serious infection develops, ritlecitinib therapy should be interrupted until the infection is controlled.

Drug and food interactions
promazine food
Applies to: promazine
GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent use of ethanol and phenothiazines may result in additive CNS depression and psychomotor impairment. Also, ethanol may precipitate dystonic reactions in patients who are taking phenothiazines. The two drugs probably act on different sites in the brain, although the exact mechanism of the interaction is not known.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during phenothiazine therapy.
