Interactions between your drugs

Major

vemurafenib tovorafenib

Applies to: vemurafenib and tovorafenib

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate to potent inhibitors of CYP450 2C8 may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of tovorafenib, which has been found in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 2C8 and aldehyde oxidase, and to a lesser extent, by the isoenzymes CYP450 3A, 2C9, and 2C19. Increased plasma concentrations may increase the risk for adverse drug reactions including but not limited to, hemorrhage, skin toxicity, photosensitivity, hepatotoxicity, and reduced growth velocity in patients 18 years of age or younger. However, data from formal clinical drug interaction studies are not available.

MANAGEMENT: According to the manufacturer, concomitant use of tovorafenib with moderate to potent inhibitors of CYP450 2C8 should generally be avoided.

Therapeutic duplication warnings

Therapeutic duplication is the use of more than one medicine from the same drug category or therapeutic class to treat the same condition. This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit. It can also be unintentional in cases where a patient has been treated by more than one doctor, or had prescriptions filled at more than one pharmacy, and can have potentially adverse consequences.
