Moderate

daclizumab milnacipran

Applies to: Zinbryta (daclizumab) and milnacipran

MONITOR: Coadministration of daclizumab with other agents known to induce hepatotoxicity may increase the risk of liver injury. Serious drug-related hepatic injury, including liver failure and autoimmune hepatitis, has been reported across controlled and open-label studies in 1.7% of daclizumab-treated patients and may occur at any time during treatment and up to 5 months after treatment cessation. Fatal cases have occurred. In addition, cases of hepatic injury have occurred in patients taking daclizumab concomitantly with other hepatotoxic drugs; however, the contributory role of these other medicines has not been established.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if daclizumab is used with other potentially hepatotoxic agents, including non-prescription products and herbal supplements. Patients treated with daclizumab should have serum transaminase levels and total bilirubin measured prior to initiation of treatment and monthly during treatment in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and the dosing adjusted or interrupted as necessary. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience potential signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity such as fever, rash, itching, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, malaise, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, pale stools, and jaundice.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

milnacipran food

Applies to: milnacipran

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of milnacipran in conjunction with chronic alcohol consumption may potentiate the risk of liver injury. Milnacipran alone can increase serum transaminase levels. In placebo-controlled fibromyalgia trials, increases in ALT were more frequently observed in patients treated with milnacipran 100 mg/day (6%) and 200 mg/day (7%) compared to patients treated with placebo (3%). One patient receiving milnacipran 100 mg/day (0.2%) had an increase in ALT greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) but did not exceed 10 times the ULN. Increases in AST were also more frequently observed in patients treated with milnacipran 100 mg/day (3%) and 200 mg/day (5%) than in patients treated with placebo (2%). There have been reported cases of increased liver enzymes and severe liver injury, including fulminant hepatitis, from foreign postmarketing experience with milnacipran. Significant underlying clinical conditions and/or use of multiple concomitant medications were present in the cases of severe liver injury.

MANAGEMENT: Due to the risk of liver injury, patients prescribed milnacipran should be counseled to avoid excessive use of alcohol. Milnacipran should generally not be prescribed to patients with substantial alcohol use.

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.
