Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
dextromethorphan panobinostat
Applies to: Scot-Tussin DM Cough Chasers (dextromethorphan) and panobinostat
Panobinostat may increase the blood levels and effects of dextromethorphan. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty sleeping, or diarrhea. 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
Moderate food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate:
dextromethorphan Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: Scot-Tussin DM Cough Chasers (dextromethorphan)
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of dextromethorphan such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with dextromethorphan. Do not use more than the recommended dose of dextromethorphan, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
Moderate:
panobinostat Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: panobinostat
Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, star fruit, pomegranate, or pomegranate juice during treatment with panobinostat. Doing so can increase blood levels of the medication. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; loss of appetite; fatigue; swelling in the arms or legs; heart problems (e.G., chest pain, heart failure, irregular heartbeat); liver problems; 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. 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
8 potential interactions Applies to: 8 conditions, including Arrhythmia, Anemia, Liver Disease, Infection, and Ischemic Heart Disease.
Anemia
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Anemia.
Panobinostat causes myelosuppression. Cases of severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia have been reported with the use of panobinostat. It is recommended to obtain a baseline CBC and monitor the CBC frequently as clinically indicated. Dose modifications are recommended for myelosuppression.
Arrhythmia
Major:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a major potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Severe and fatal cardiac ischemic events, as well as severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving panobinostat. Panobinostat may prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval). Do not initiate treatment with panobinostat in patients with a QTcF >450 msec or clinically significant baseline ST-segment or T-wave abnormalities. If during treatment, the QTcF increases to >=480 msec, interrupt treatment. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. It is recommended to obtain ECG at baseline and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated. Monitor patient hydration status and electrolyte blood levels, including potassium, magnesium and phosphate, at baseline and frequently as clinically indicated during therapy and correct to prevent dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. If QT prolongation does not resolve, permanently discontinue treatment with panobinostat.
Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.
Panobinostat causes myelosuppression. Cases of severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia have been reported with the use of panobinostat. It is recommended to obtain a baseline CBC and monitor the CBC frequently as clinically indicated. Dose modifications are recommended for myelosuppression.
Electrolyte Abnormalities
Major:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a major potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.
Severe and fatal cardiac ischemic events, as well as severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving panobinostat. Panobinostat may prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval). Do not initiate treatment with panobinostat in patients with a QTcF >450 msec or clinically significant baseline ST-segment or T-wave abnormalities. If during treatment, the QTcF increases to >=480 msec, interrupt treatment. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. It is recommended to obtain ECG at baseline and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated. Monitor patient hydration status and electrolyte blood levels, including potassium, magnesium and phosphate, at baseline and frequently as clinically indicated during therapy and correct to prevent dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. If QT prolongation does not resolve, permanently discontinue treatment with panobinostat.
Infection
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.
Localized and systemic infections, including pneumonia, bacterial infections, invasive fungal infections, and viral infections have been reported in patients taking panobinostat. It is recommended to monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infections during treatment; if a diagnosis of infection is made, institute appropriate anti-infective treatment promptly and consider interruption or discontinuation of therapy. Care should be exercised when prescribing this agent to patients at risk.
Ischemic Heart Disease
Major:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a major potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.
Severe and fatal cardiac ischemic events, as well as severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving panobinostat. Panobinostat may prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval). Do not initiate treatment with panobinostat in patients with a QTcF >450 msec or clinically significant baseline ST-segment or T-wave abnormalities. If during treatment, the QTcF increases to >=480 msec, interrupt treatment. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. It is recommended to obtain ECG at baseline and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated. Monitor patient hydration status and electrolyte blood levels, including potassium, magnesium and phosphate, at baseline and frequently as clinically indicated during therapy and correct to prevent dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. If QT prolongation does not resolve, permanently discontinue treatment with panobinostat.
Liver Disease
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Hepatic impairment can increase panobinostat exposure. It is recommended to reduce the starting dose of panobinostat in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. Avoid the use of panobinostat in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Liver function should be monitored prior to treatment and regularly during treatment. If abnormal liver function tests are observed dose adjustments might be considered and the patient should be followed until values return to normal or to pretreatment levels.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
panobinostat
Panobinostat has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Mild renal impairment to severe renal impairment did not impact the plasma exposure of panobinostat. The use of panobinostat has not been studied in patients with end stage renal disease or patients on dialysis. Care should be exercised when using panobinostat in these patients as the dialyzability of panobinostat is unknown.
