Filter by interaction and/or warning

Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

treosulfan romiDEPsin

Applies to: treosulfan, romidepsin

Treosulfan may increase the blood levels and effects of romiDEPsin.

Contact your doctor if your condition changes during treatment with these medications. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.

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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

No alcohol/food interactions were found with the drugs in your list. However, this does not necessarily mean no food interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.

Disease interactions

12 potential interactionsApplies to: 10 conditions, including Seizures, Arrhythmia, Liver Disease, Infection, and Thrombocytopenia.

Arrhythmia

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

The use of romidepsin may cause changes in ECG. It is recommended to consider cardiovascular monitoring of ECG prior to starting therapy and periodically during treatment in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, history of significant cardiovascular disease, and in patients taking anti-arrhythmic medicines or medicinal products that lead to significant QT prolongation. Confirm that potassium and magnesium levels are within normal range before administration of romidepsin. Care and close monitoring is recommended.

Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Cases of fatal and serious infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, and viral reactivation, including Epstein Barr and hepatitis B viruses have been reported with the use of romidepsin. The risk of life threatening infections may be greater in patients with a history of prior treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed against lymphocyte antigens and in patients with disease involvement of the bone marrow. Monitor reactivation in patients with evidence of prior hepatitis B infection as recommended and consider antiviral prophylaxis as clinically indicated.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

The use of romidepsin may cause changes in ECG. It is recommended to consider cardiovascular monitoring of ECG prior to starting therapy and periodically during treatment in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, history of significant cardiovascular disease, and in patients taking anti-arrhythmic medicines or medicinal products that lead to significant QT prolongation. Confirm that potassium and magnesium levels are within normal range before administration of romidepsin. Care and close monitoring is recommended.

Infection

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

Cases of fatal and serious infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, and viral reactivation, including Epstein Barr and hepatitis B viruses have been reported with the use of romidepsin. The risk of life threatening infections may be greater in patients with a history of prior treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed against lymphocyte antigens and in patients with disease involvement of the bone marrow. Monitor reactivation in patients with evidence of prior hepatitis B infection as recommended and consider antiviral prophylaxis as clinically indicated.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Romidepsin population pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that mild hepatic impairment had no significant influence on romidepsin pharmacokinetics. A dose reduction and close monitoring is recommended in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment.

Moderate:

treosulfan

Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Treosulfan has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe liver and renal dysfunction.

Lymphocytopenia

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Lymphocytopenia.

The use of romidepsin may cause thrombocytopenia, leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia. It is recommended to monitor blood counts regularly during treatment, and if necessary to modify the dose of romidepsin according to clinical practices.

Neutropenia

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Neutropenia.

The use of romidepsin may cause thrombocytopenia, leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia. It is recommended to monitor blood counts regularly during treatment, and if necessary to modify the dose of romidepsin according to clinical practices.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Romidepsin population pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that romidepsin pharmacokinetics were not affected by renal impairment. Care and close monitoring is recommended when prescribing this agent to patients with end-stage renal disease as the pharmacokinetics of romidepsin have not been studied in these patients.

Moderate:

treosulfan

Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Treosulfan has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe liver and renal dysfunction.

Seizures

Moderate:

treosulfan

Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

There have been reports of seizures in patients following treatment with treosulfan. Patients should be monitored for signs of neurological adverse reactions, and clonazepam prophylaxis may be considered for patients at higher risk for seizures, including infants.

Thrombocytopenia

Moderate:

romidepsin

romiDEPsin has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombocytopenia.

The use of romidepsin may cause thrombocytopenia, leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia. It is recommended to monitor blood counts regularly during treatment, and if necessary to modify the dose of romidepsin according to clinical practices.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
