Can you take Voclosporin with Yonsa?

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

The use of voclosporin prolongs the QTc interval in a dose-dependent manner. Studies have demonstrated that after a single dose administration at a dose higher than the recommended lupus nephritis therapeutic dose, dose-dependent QT prolongation effect was observed. Care is recommended when using this drug in patients at risk, such as patients taking concomitant drugs known to prolong the QTc interval, patients with bradycardia, hypokalemia, or hypomagnesemia, and the presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval. Consider obtaining electrocardiograms and monitoring electrolytes in patients at high risk.

The abiraterone in Yonsa has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

Abiraterone may cause hypertension, hypokalemia and fluid retention as a consequence of increased mineralocorticoid levels resulting from CYP17 inhibition. Use caution when treating patients whose underlying medical conditions might be compromised by increases in blood pressure, hypokalemia or fluid retention such as patients with heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias. Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease and monitor regularly.

Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease and monitor regularly.

Voclosporin has a major potential interaction with Infection.

Serious and sometimes fatal infections have been reported in patients receiving immunosuppressive agents. Patients receiving immunosuppressants are at increased risk of developing bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoal infections, and new or reactivated viral infections including opportunistic infections. Caution should be exercised when considering their use in patients with severe or chronic infections. It is recommended to interrupt therapy in patients who develop a new infection while undergoing treatment and to monitor these patients closely for any sign or symptom indicative of infection.

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

Calcineurin-inhibitors, may cause pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). Care should be exercised when using voclosporin in patients at risk for PRCA, such as parvovirus B19 infection, underlying disease, or concomitant medications associated with PRCA. It is recommended to consider treatment discontinuation if PRCA is diagnosed.

Voclosporin has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Voclosporin is predominantly metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Avoid the use of voclosporin in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). It is recommended to reduce the dose of voclosporin to 15.8 mg twice a day in patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A and Child-Pugh B).

The abiraterone in Yonsa has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Postmarketing studies have associated the use of abiraterone with severe hepatic toxicity, including fulminant hepatitis, acute liver failure and deaths. Serum transaminases and bilirubin levels should be measured before starting treatment and every 2 weeks for the first three months of treatment and then monthly thereafter. Any liver test elevations should prompt more frequently monitoring. Treatment should be discontinued permanently in patients with concurrent elevations of ALT greater than 3 x ULN and total bilirubin greater than 2 x ULN. In patients with baseline moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), the recommended dose should be reduced to 250 mg once daily. Abiraterone should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C).

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Neurological Disorders.

The use of voclosporin may cause a spectrum of neurotoxicities. It is recommended to monitor for neurologic symptoms and to consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if neurotoxicity occurs. Care should be exercised when using this drug in patients with preexisting neurological conditions such as seizures, delirium, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome.

The use of voclosporin may cause a spectrum of neurotoxicities. It is recommended to monitor for neurologic symptoms and to consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if neurotoxicity occurs. Care should be exercised when using this drug in patients with preexisting neurological conditions such as seizures, delirium, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.

The use of voclosporin may cause a spectrum of neurotoxicities. It is recommended to monitor for neurologic symptoms and to consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if neurotoxicity occurs. Care should be exercised when using this drug in patients with preexisting neurological conditions such as seizures, delirium, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Pure Red Cell Aplasia.

Calcineurin-inhibitors, may cause pure red cell aplasia (PRCA).

It is recommended to consider treatment discontinuation if PRCA is diagnosed.

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The use of voclosporin, like other calcineurin-inhibitors, can cause acute and/or chronic nephrotoxicity. Voclosporin use is not recommended in patients with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 or less unless the benefit exceeds the risk. A reduced dose should be used when treating patients with severe renal impairment at baseline. No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment at baseline. It is recommended to establish a baseline eGFR and regularly monitor eGFR during treatment. Consideration should be given to the risks and benefits of voclosporin treatment in light of the patient's treatment response and risk of worsening nephrotoxicity. Consider dose reduction or discontinuation in patients with decreases in eGFR from baseline. Persistent decrease of eGFR should be evaluated for chronic calcineurin-inhibitor nephrotoxicity.

Voclosporin has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

The use of voclosporin may cause a spectrum of neurotoxicities. It is recommended to monitor for neurologic symptoms and to consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if neurotoxicity occurs. Care should be exercised when using this drug in patients with preexisting neurological conditions such as seizures, delirium, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

The use of live vaccines should be avoided during treatment with voclosporin, including but not limited to the intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, varicella, and TY21a typhoid vaccines. In addition, inactivated vaccines noted to be safe for administration may not be sufficiently immunogenic during treatment with voclosporin.
