Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

thioridazine tebentafusp

Applies to: thioridazine and tebentafusp

MONITOR: Coadministration with tebentafusp may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 pathways. The formation of hepatic CYP450 enzymes is down-regulated by increased levels of certain proinflammatory cytokines that are transiently released during initiation of tebentafusp treatment. Thus, tebentafusp may suppress CYP450 enzymes resulting in increased exposures of some CYP450 substrates. Clinical data are currently lacking but risk of an interaction is expected to be greatest during the first 24 hours of the first 3 tebentafusp doses.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tebentafusp is coadministered with drugs that are CYP450 substrates, particularly those with narrow therapeutic ranges (e.g., antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, theophylline) or sensitive substrates where increases in plasma levels may be significant or undesirable (e.g., statins, benzodiazepines, opioids). Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring should be considered following the initiation or withdrawal of tebentafusp, and the dosage(s) of the CYP450 substrate(s) adjusted accordingly.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

thioridazine food

Applies to: thioridazine

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.

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.
