Interactions between your drugs
medroxyPROGESTERone lorlatinib
Applies to: medroxyprogesterone and lorlatinib
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of medroxyprogesterone, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Aminoglutethimide, a CYP450 3A4 inducer, has been shown to significantly decrease the serum levels of medroxyprogesterone by 50% or more when administered at 250 mg two to four times daily to women with breast cancer receiving high-dose medroxyprogesterone orally. The decrease was accompanied by an increase in serum cortisol level, which suggests diminished adrenal suppressive effect of medroxyprogesterone. The interaction has not been studied with depot formulations of medroxyprogesterone. Because the clearance of medroxyprogesterone is approximately equal to the rate of hepatic blood flow, drugs that induce CYP450 3A4 are not expected to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of medroxyprogesterone administered parenterally. In one study, no interaction was reported when medroxyprogesterone was administered intravenously with aminoglutethimide.
MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to medroxyprogesterone should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the dosage adjusted as necessary. When administered as the depot formulation for contraception, no dosage adjustment for medroxyprogesterone is currently recommended during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. However, consideration may be given to decreasing the dosing interval (e.g., from one injection every 12 weeks to every 10 weeks) if an interaction is suspected.
Drug and food interactions
lorlatinib food
Applies to: lorlatinib
Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with lorlatinib. Grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels and effects of lorlatinib, which may result in a greater risk of side effects. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.
