Interactions between your drugs

Major

ibuprofen tovorafenib

Applies to: Motrin Cold and Flu (ibuprofen / pseudoephedrine) and tovorafenib

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of tovorafenib and drugs that interfere with platelet function or coagulation may potentiate the risk of bleeding complications. Major hemorrhagic events, such as tumor hemorrhage, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, intracranial tumor hemorrhage, and hemoptysis have been reported during tovorafenib therapy. In the safety evaluation of tovorafenib monotherapy in 137 patients with pediatric low-grade glioma harboring a BRAF alteration, serious bleeding events (Grade 3 or 4) were reported in 5% of patients, including a Grade 5 tumor hemorrhage in one patient.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of other medications that interfere with platelet function or coagulation should be considered cautiously in patients treated with tovorafenib. Close clinical and laboratory observation for bleeding complications is recommended during therapy. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs and symptoms of bleeding to their physician. Refer to the product labeling for guidance on tovorafenib dosage adjustments in patients with Grade 2 to 4 hemorrhage.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ibuprofen food

Applies to: Motrin Cold and Flu (ibuprofen / pseudoephedrine)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

Moderate

pseudoephedrine food

Applies to: Motrin Cold and Flu (ibuprofen / pseudoephedrine)

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.
