Interactions between your drugs
gemfibrozil binimetinib
Applies to: gemfibrozil, Mektovi (binimetinib)
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 or 2B7, and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma levels and risk of adverse effects of binimetinib. The proposed mechanism involves the reduced metabolic clearance of binimetinib through inhibition of P-gp, UGT 1A1, UGT 2B7, and/or BCRP. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown as no clinically relevant drug interactions have been demonstrated with binimetinib.
MANAGEMENT: Until further information is available, caution is recommended if binimetinib must be used concomitantly with P-gp, UGT 1A1, UGT 2B7, and/or BCRP inhibitors. Binimetinib should be monitored more closely whenever a P-gp, UGT 1A1, UGT 2B7, and/or BCRP inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the binimetinib dosage adjusted as necessary.
