There are 2 alcohol/food/lifestyle interactions with Ponvory (ponesimod).

Moderate

Ponesimod High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility

ponesimod - arrhythmia

The use of ponesimod may result in a transient decrease in heart rate and atrioventricular (AV) conduction delays, especially during treatment initiation. This drug is not recommended in patients with a history of cardiac arrest, cerebrovascular disease (e.g., TIA, stroke occurring more than 6 months prior to treatment initiation), uncontrolled hypertension, or severe untreated sleep apnea, since significant bradycardia may be poorly tolerated in these patients. The use of this drug in patients with a history of recurrent syncope or symptomatic bradycardia should be based on an overall benefit-risk assessment. Obtain an ECG in all patients to determine whether preexisting conduction abnormalities are present and consult a cardiologist if appropriate. Monitor closely patients taking concurrent therapy with drugs that decrease heart rate (e.g., beta-blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and other drugs that may decrease heart rate).
