Drug interactions
Major drug interactions
Major:
vinorelbine samarium sm 153 lexidronam
Applies to: vinorelbine and Quadramet (samarium sm 153 lexidronam)
Using samarium sm 153 lexidronam together with vinorelbine may increase the risk of side effects that affect your bone marrow function, resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. You should seek medical attention if you develop paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, 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. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. 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 Constipation, Peripheral Neuropathy, Fever, Liver Disease, and Infection.
Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts
Major:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a major potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.
The use of vinorelbine is contraindicated in patients with neutrophil counts < 1000/mm3. Vinorelbine induces dose-dependent myelosuppression, primarily neutropenia. Therapy with vinorelbine should be administered with extreme caution and dosage modification considered in patients whose bone marrow reserve may be depressed by prior chemotherapy or irradiation or whose marrow function is recovering from previous cytotoxic therapy. Patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting bone marrow suppression such as fever, sore throat, local infection, or bleeding. Close clinical monitoring of hematopoietic function is recommended.
Constipation
Moderate:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a moderate potential interaction with Constipation.
Severe and fatal paralytic ileus, constipation, intestinal obstruction, necrosis, and perforation occur in patients receiving vinorelbine injection. Institute a prophylactic bowel regimen to mitigate potential constipation, bowel obstruction and/or paralytic ileus, considering adequate dietary fiber intake, hydration and routine use of stool softeners. Caution and monitoring is advised in patients with history of gastrointestinal issues.
Fever
Major:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a major potential interaction with Fever.
The use of vinorelbine is contraindicated in patients with neutrophil counts < 1000/mm3. Vinorelbine induces dose-dependent myelosuppression, primarily neutropenia. Therapy with vinorelbine should be administered with extreme caution and dosage modification considered in patients whose bone marrow reserve may be depressed by prior chemotherapy or irradiation or whose marrow function is recovering from previous cytotoxic therapy. Patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting bone marrow suppression such as fever, sore throat, local infection, or bleeding. Close clinical monitoring of hematopoietic function is recommended.
Gastrointestinal Obstruction
Moderate:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.
Severe and fatal paralytic ileus, constipation, intestinal obstruction, necrosis, and perforation occur in patients receiving vinorelbine injection. Institute a prophylactic bowel regimen to mitigate potential constipation, bowel obstruction and/or paralytic ileus, considering adequate dietary fiber intake, hydration and routine use of stool softeners. Caution and monitoring is advised in patients with history of gastrointestinal issues.
Infection
Major:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a major potential interaction with Infection.
Vinorelbine induces myelosuppression manifested by neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia. The use of vinorelbine may be contraindicated in patients with known infectious diseases. Patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting infection such as fever, sore throat, or local infection. Close clinical monitoring of hematopoietic function is recommended.
Liver Disease
Major:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Vinorelbine is extensively metabolized by the liver. The pharmacokinetic disposition of vinorelbine in patients with hepatic impairment has not been assessed. Therapy with vinorelbine should be administered cautiously and the dosage reduced in patients with compromised hepatic function.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Moderate:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a moderate potential interaction with Peripheral Neuropathy.
Sensory and motor neuropathies, including severe neuropathies, occur in patients receiving vinorelbine. Monitor patients for new or worsening signs and symptoms of neuropathy, such as paresthesia, hyperesthesia, hyporeflexia and muscle weakness while receiving vinorelbine. Discontinue vinorelbine for CTCAE Grade 2 or greater neuropathy. Therapy with vinorelbine should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to neuropathy.
Pulmonary Impairment
Major:
vinorelbine
Vinorelbine has a major potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.
Acute shortness of breath and bronchospasm, some severe and life-threatening, have been reported with the use of vinca alkaloids. These reactions were observed most often during combination therapy with mitomycin C, occurring within minutes to several hours after administration of the vinca alkaloid or up to 2 weeks following the mitomycin dose. Therapy with vinca alkaloids should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting pulmonary dysfunction. Aggressive treatment may be necessary, including use of supplemental oxygen, bronchodilators, and/or corticosteroids. In patients who develop progressive dyspnea requiring chronic therapy, vinca alkaloid should not be readministered.
