Drug interactions
Major drug interactions
Major:
vardenafil revumenib
Applies to: vardenafil and Revuforj (revumenib)
Using vardenafil together with revumenib can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening.
You may be more susceptible if you have:
- a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
- other cardiac diseases
- conduction abnormalities
- electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)
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.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone.
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:
vardenafil Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: vardenafil
Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of certain medications such as vardenafil.
You may want to limit your consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment with vardenafil. However, if you have been regularly consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice with the medication, then it is advisable for you to talk with your doctor before changing the amounts of these products in your diet, as this may alter the effects of your medication.
Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects.
Orange juice is not expected to interact.
Moderate:
revumenib Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: Revuforj (revumenib)
High fat content meals may affect the absorption of revumenib. It is recommended that revumenib be taken while fasting or with a low fat meal (approximately 400 calories, with 25% of calories from fat).
Grapefruit juice may also increase the blood levels of revumenib which can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening.
You may be more susceptible if you have:
- a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
- other cardiac diseases
- conduction abnormalities
- electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)
Increased levels of revumenib may also increase the risk of developing a serious and potentially life-threatening condition called differentiation syndrome.
Symptoms of differentiation syndrome include:
- fever
- cough
- shortness of breath
- severe headache
- confusion
- dizziness
- rapid weight gain
- swelling
- decreased urination
You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms and/or symptoms of QT prolongation such as sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with revumenib.
The risk and/or severity of other side effects may also increase, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or infections. You may need additional monitoring if grapefruit or grapefruit juice are consumed during treatment with revumenib.
Talk to a healthcare provider 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.

Major:
vardenafil
Vardenafil has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.
The use of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors is not recommended in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease for whom sexual activity is inadvisable due to the potential cardiac risk.

There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy in such patients. Other adverse cardiovascular effects reported include angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, AV block, ventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia, palpitation, hypotension, postural hypotension, syncope, cerebral thrombosis, cerebrovascular hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, cardiac arrest, heart failure, and hypertension.
