Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

tbo-filgrastim trifluridine

Applies to: tbo-filgrastim and Lonsurf (tipiracil / trifluridine)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The safety and efficacy of hematopoietic growth factors such as colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF and GM-CSF) and stem cell factors (SCF) given simultaneously with cancer chemotherapy have not been established. Theoretical concerns exist regarding their concomitant administration because hematopoietic growth factors stimulate myeloid cell proliferation while antineoplastic agents primarily target rapidly dividing cells.

MANAGEMENT: Because of the potential sensitivity of rapidly dividing myeloid cells to cancer chemotherapy, hematopoietic growth factors should not be used within 24 hours before or 24 hours after administration of antineoplastic agents.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

trifluridine food

Applies to: Lonsurf (tipiracil / trifluridine)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of trifluridine-tipiracil with a standardized high-fat, high-calorie meal has been shown to decrease trifluridine peak plasma concentration (Cmax) as well as tipiracil Cmax and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 40% compared to administration in a fasting state in patients with cancer given a single 35 mg/m2 dose. No change in trifluridine AUC was observed.

MANAGEMENT: Based on the observed correlation between increases in the Cmax of trifluridine and decreases in neutrophil counts, trifluridine-tipiracil should be taken within one hour after completion of the morning and evening meals.

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.
