Major drug interactions

Major:

tolterodine mobocertinib

Applies to: tolterodine and mobocertinib

Using mobocertinib together with tolterodine can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a rare side effect.

You may be more susceptible if you have:

  • a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
  • other cardiac diseases
  • conduction abnormalities
  • electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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 medications.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone.

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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Major food/lifestyle interactions

Major:

mobocertinib Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: mobocertinib

You should avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with mobocertinib.

Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of mobocertinib. This may increase the risk of side effects such as:

  • diarrhea
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • rash
  • fatigue
  • musculoskeletal pain
  • mouth sores and inflammation
  • heart failure
  • rare but potentially serious and life-threatening irregular heart rhythm disorders

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.

Disease interactions

20 potential interactions Applies to: 18 conditions, including Heart Failure, Hypokalemia, Myasthenia Gravis, Dementia, and Heart Disease.

Cardiomyopathy

Moderate:

mobocertinib

Mobocertinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiomyopathy.

Mobocertinib can cause cardiac toxicity (including decreased ejection fraction, cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure) resulting in heart failure which can be fatal. Cardiac function (including assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction) should be monitored at baseline and during therapy. Therapy should be withheld, the dose should be reduced, or mobocertinib should be discontinued based on the severity of decreased ejection fraction or heart failure.

Central Nervous System Disorders

Moderate:

tolterodine

Tolterodine has a moderate potential interaction with Central Nervous System Disorders.

Tolterodine is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, dose reduction or drug discontinuation should be considered. Tolterodine should be used with caution in patients with Parkinson's disease and in patients with preexisting dementia treated with cholinesterase inhibitors due to the risk of aggravation of symptoms.

Dementia

Moderate:

tolterodine

Tolterodine has a moderate potential interaction with Dementia.

Tolterodine is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, dose reduction or drug discontinuation should be considered.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

mobocertinib

Mobocertinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

No dosage adjustment of mobocertinib is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin up to the upper limit of normal [ULN] and AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN [1 to 1.5 x ULN] and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to 3 x ULN and any AST) liver dysfunction. The recommended dosage of mobocertinib has not been established for patients with severe liver dysfunction (total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN and any AST); caution is recommended in these patients.

Moderate:

tolterodine

Tolterodine has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Tolterodine undergoes biotransformation in the liver of extensive metabolizers to an active metabolite. Poor metabolizers have a greater concentration of active parent and less active metabolite, however the net activity of tolterodine is expected to be the same. The pharmacokinetic disposition of tolterodine can be significantly altered in patients with hepatic dysfunction. Therapy with tolterodine should be administered cautiously in patients with severe hepatic impairment and dosage should be reduced to no greater than 1 mg twice daily.

Long QT Syndrome

Moderate:

tolterodine

Tolterodine has a moderate potential interaction with Long QT Syndrome.

Tolterodine has been associated with QT prolongation. The effect on QT interval correlates with plasma concentration of tolterodine. Caution is recommended when prescribing this agent to patients with a known history of QT prolongation or to patients who are taking Class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications.

Major:

mobocertinib

Mobocertinib has a major potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.

Mobocertinib can cause life-threatening QTc prolongation, including torsades de pointes, which can be fatal, and requires monitoring of QTc and electrolytes. QTc and electrolytes should be assessed at baseline and abnormalities in sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium should be corrected before starting mobocertinib. QTc and electrolytes should be monitored periodically during therapy. Monitoring frequency should be increased in patients with risk factors for QTc prolongation (such as patients with congenital long QT syndrome, heart disease, or electrolyte abnormalities); caution is recommended in these patients. Therapy should be withheld, the dose should be reduced, or mobocertinib should be discontinued based on the severity of QTc prolongation.

Myasthenia Gravis

Moderate:

tolterodine

Tolterodine has a moderate potential interaction with Myasthenia Gravis.

Tolterodine acts as a competitive antagonist of acetylcholine at postganglionic muscarinic receptors. Caution is recommended when using this agent in patients with myasthenia gravis, a disease characterized by decreased cholinergic activity at the neuromuscular junction.

Pulmonary Impairment

Moderate:

mobocertinib

Mobocertinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.

Mobocertinib can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Care should be exercised when using this drug in patients with preexisting pulmonary impairment. Mobocertinib should be immediately withheld in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinued if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed. Patients should be monitored for new/worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

mobocertinib

Mobocertinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

No dosage adjustment of mobocertinib is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation). The recommended dosage of mobocertinib has not been established for patients with severe renal dysfunction (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2); caution is recommended in these patients.

Moderate:

The renal elimination of tolterodine and active metabolite is limited and a prolonged half-life is not anticipated in patients with renal impairment. However, the pharmacokinetic disposition of tolterodine has not been evaluated in patients with renal impairment and it is recommended that tolterodine be administered cautiously in patients with compromised renal function.

Urinary Retention

Major:

tolterodine

Tolterodine has a major potential interaction with Urinary Retention.

The use of tolterodine is contraindicated in patients with GI obstruction, ileus, or obstructive uropathy. Tolterodine exerts anticholinergic activity by competitive antagonism of muscarinic receptors.

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.
