MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), the anti-mitotic and cytotoxic component of telisotuzumab vedotin. Telisotuzumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that releases MMAE via proteolytic cleavage, and MMAE has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4. MMAE systemic exposure (AUC) is predicted to increase by 1.4-fold following concomitant administration of telisotuzumab vedotin with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole. It is not known if, and to what extent, MMAE may interact with less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when telisotuzumab vedotin is used concomitantly with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be closely monitored for development or exacerbation of toxicities such as ocular surface disorders (e.g., dry eyes, keratitis, blurred vision), peripheral neuropathy, interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, and peripheral edema. If serious adverse reactions occur, the dosing of telisotuzumab vedotin should be adjusted or withheld as necessary in accordance with the product labeling.

Food can affect the absorption of aliskiren from the intestine. Therefore, you should take aliskiren at the same time each day exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You may take aliskiren with or without food, but take it the same way every time. This will help keep blood levels and effects of the medication steady. You should avoid drinking orange, apple, or grapefruit juice as much as possible during treatment with aliskiren. Studies have shown that drinking these juices regularly or within a short period before or after a dose of aliskiren can interfere with the absorption of the medication.

AmLODIPine and ethanol (alcohol) may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. 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.

Using amLODIPine together with multivitamin with minerals can decrease the effects of amLODIPine. Talk with your doctor before using amLODIPine and multivitamin with minerals together. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often if you take 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.
