Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

PONATinib rucaparib

Applies to: ponatinib and rucaparib

MONITOR: Coadministration with rucaparib may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to rucaparib-mediated inhibition of CYP450 3A4. In a clinical study, rucaparib increased midazolam Cmax and AUC by 1.13- and 1.38-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if rucaparib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever rucaparib is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

PONATinib food

Applies to: ponatinib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice is likely to increase the plasma concentrations of ponatinib, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, the interaction has not been studied. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.

MANAGEMENT: The consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit extract should be avoided during treatment with ponatinib.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
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.
