Interactions between your drugs
venetoclax teclistamab
Applies to: Venclexta (venetoclax) and teclistamab
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with teclistamab may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes. Initiation of teclistamab treatment causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 isoenzymes, although the potential for interaction has not been studied. According to the manufacturer, the highest drug-drug interaction risk would be from the start of teclistamab therapy (including the initial step-up dosing schedule) up to 7 days after the first treatment dose (considered to be the first weekly dose administered after the completion of the step-up dosing schedule), as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when teclistamab is coadministered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 isoenzymes, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range, where minimal changes to concentration may lead to significant adverse reactions, such as carbamazepine, colchicine, cyclosporine, disopyramide, phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, warfarin, macrolide immunosuppressants, vinca alkaloids, and some narcotic analgesics. Clinical and/or laboratory monitoring are recommended, particularly at the initial phase of treatment with teclistamab as well as during and after cytokine release syndrome, and the dosage(s) of the CYP450 substrate(s) adjusted accordingly.

Drug and food interactions
venetoclax food
Applies to: Venclexta (venetoclax)
Food helps to increase the absorption of venetoclax. You should take each dose of venetoclax with a meal and water at approximately the same time each day. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, or starfruit during treatment with venetoclax. Doing so can significantly increase blood levels and effects of the medication. This may increase your risk of developing tumor lysis syndrome, a serious condition that is caused by the rapid breakdown of cancer cells and that can lead to kidney failure and even death. In addition, you may be more likely to experience other side effects such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; fatigue; and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells, which can increase the risk of anemia, bleeding problems, and infections. Talk to your doctor 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.
