Interactions between your drugs
tacrolimus palbociclib
Applies to: Prograf (tacrolimus) and palbociclib
Palbociclib may increase the blood levels of tacrolimus. In some cases, this can increase the risk of serious side effects such as kidney problems, diabetes, nervous system disorders, hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood), high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, heart failure, infections, and various types of malignancies including lymphoma and skin cancer. You may need a dose adjustment if you have been taking tacrolimus and are starting treatment with palbociclib. Contact your doctor if you develop signs and symptoms of infection such as fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination. Also seek medical attention if you experience frequent urination, increased hunger or thirst, loss of appetite, confusion, tremor, numbness or tingling, seizures, vision changes, sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and chest pain. 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.
Drug and food interactions
tacrolimus food
Applies to: Prograf (tacrolimus)
Tacrolimus should be taken on a consistent schedule before or after you eat at the same times each day. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase the amount of tacrolimus in your body. This can lead to potentially dangerous side effects and should be avoided. If you are already consuming grapefruit products, do not increase or decrease the amount of these products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.
palbociclib food
Applies to: palbociclib
Palbociclib oral capsules (Ibrance) should be taken with food to help with its absorption. Palbociclib oral tablets (Ibrance) may be taken with or without food. Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with palbociclib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with palbociclib and increase the levels of palbociclib in your body. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; loss of appetite; mouth sores; hair loss; weakness; pain, numbness, or tingling in the hands and feet; and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells, which can increase the risk of anemia, bleeding problems, and infections. 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.
