Drug and food interactions

Moderate

pomalidomide food

Applies to: Pomalyst (pomalidomide)

MONITOR: Cigarette smoking may reduce pomalidomide exposure due to induction of CYP450 1A2, the isoenzyme that is responsible for the metabolic clearance of pomalidomide along with CYP450 3A4.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised that smoking may reduce the efficacy of pomalidomide therapy. Pomalidomide should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal.

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent use of ethanol and phenothiazines may result in additive CNS depression and psychomotor impairment. Also, ethanol may precipitate dystonic reactions in patients who are taking phenothiazines. The two drugs probably act on different sites in the brain, although the exact mechanism of the interaction is not known.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during phenothiazine therapy.
