Can you take Pralsetinib with Take Action?

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a major potential interaction with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

The use of contraceptives is contraindicated when there is an undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding. Adequate diagnostic measures should be undertaken to rule out the presence of any malignancy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Asthma.

Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a major potential interaction with Breast Cancer.

The use of progestogens is considered by manufacturers to be contraindicated in patients with existing or suspected malignancy of the breast. Some supportive data are available for medroxyprogesterone. Specifically, medroxyprogesterone treatment may be associated with breast cancer, primarily when the drug is administered intramuscularly. A pooled analysis of two case-control studies, one from the World Health Organization and the other from New Zealand, revealed a small overall relative risk of breast cancer in women who have ever used intramuscular medroxyprogesterone acetate. The relative risk was higher in the subgroup of women who had initiated therapy within the previous 5 years. Thus, an increased risk (approximately 2-fold) is associated with intramuscular medroxyprogesterone use in the first 5 years. A more recent U.S. study also found a statistically significant increase in breast cancer risk among recent users (defined as last use within the past five years) who used depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate for 12 months or longer.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Cerebral Vascular Disorder.

The use of levonorgestrel requires careful assessment and caution in conditions of arterial disease, including stroke and myocardial infarction, and also, in patients with increased blood pressure and coagulopathies.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Depression.

The use of oral contraceptives has been associated with an increased incidence of depression. It is uncertain whether this effect is related to the estrogenic or the progestogenic component of the contraceptive, although excess progesterone activity is associated with depression. Patients with a history of depression receiving estrogen and/or progestogen therapy should be followed closely. The manufacturer of medroxyprogesterone recommends monitoring patients who have a history of depression and to not re- administer medroxyprogesterone if depression recurs.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Impaired glucose tolerance has been observed in some patients administered oral contraceptives and appears to be related primarily to the estrogen dose. However, progestogens can increase insulin secretion and produce insulin resistance to varying degrees, depending on the agent. Caution and close monitoring are recommended in patients with diabetes mellitus during therapy with estrogens and/or progestogens, and adjustments made accordingly in their antidiabetic regimen.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a major potential interaction with Hepatic Tumor.

The use of oral contraceptives is contraindicated in patients with liver tumors. An increased risk of benign hepatic adenomas and hepatocellular carcinomas has been associated with long-term, oral estrogen- progestin contraceptive use of at least 4 years and 8 years, respectively. Although these tumors are rare and have not been reported with other types of estrogen or progestogen therapies, any preparation containing estrogens and/or progestogens should probably be avoided in patients with existing tumors of the liver. Hepatic hemangiomas and nodular hyperplasia of the liver have been reported with isolated estrogen therapy.

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Hypertension has been reported in patients in treatment with pralsetinib. This drug should not be initiated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Caution and close monitoring is advised.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with High Cholesterol.

Some progestogenic agents may elevate plasma LDL levels and/or lower HDL levels, although data have been inconsistent. Patients with preexisting hyperlipidemia may require closer monitoring during progestogen therapy, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.

The use of levonorgestrel requires careful assessment and caution in conditions of arterial disease, including stroke and myocardial infarction, and also, in patients with increased blood pressure and coagulopathies.

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Hypocalcemia.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of progestogens, in general, is contraindicated in patients with impaired hepatic function or liver disease. There are little or no data concerning the pharmacokinetic disposition of the different progestogens in patients with hepatic disease. However, most hormones, including progestational hormones, are known to be extensively metabolized by the liver. Medroxyprogesterone should not be used by women with significant liver disease and should be discontinued if jaundice or disturbances of liver function occur.

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Additionally, clinical trials reported hepatotoxicity in some patients receiving treatment. Caution and close monitoring is advised if administering in patients with hepatic impairment.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.

QT prolongation was reported in clinical trials in patients that received pralsetinib. Use with caution in patients with history of arrhythmias, QT prolongation or taking medications that can prolong the QT interval (e.g., strong CYP450 3A4 inhibitors). Monitor QT interval and serum electrolytes before initiation and regularly during treatment. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia should be corrected prior and during treatment.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Migraine.

Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

Pralsetinib has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. Caution is advised if administering in these patients.

Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.

The use of levonorgestrel requires careful assessment and caution in conditions of arterial disease, including stroke and myocardial infarction, and also, in patients with increased blood pressure and coagulopathies.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a moderate potential interaction with Thyroid Disease.

When administering estrogen and/or progestogen therapy in patients with thyroid disorders, clinicians should be aware that these hormones may affect thyroid function tests. Patients on thyroid replacement therapy may require higher doses of thyroid hormone and appropriate monitoring. Changes have mostly been reported with the use of combination oral contraceptives. Specifically, thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) may be increased, resulting in elevated circulating total thyroid hormone, as measured by PBI (protein-bound iodine), T4 by column or radioimmunoassay, or T3 by radioimmunoassay. Free T3 resin uptake may be decreased. On the contrary, a decrease in TBG and, consequently, thyroxine concentration, has been reported by the manufacturers of the progestin-only (norethindrone) oral contraceptives.

The levonorgestrel in Take Action has a minor potential interaction with Weight Loss.

Progestogens can cause weight gain, which may be significant (as is the case with parenteral medroxyprogesterone) and undesirable in obese patients attempting to lose weight.
