Interactions between your drugs
dabrafenib erdafitinib
Applies to: dabrafenib, erdafitinib
ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with moderate inducers of CYP450 2C9 or 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations and therapeutic effects of erdafitinib. The mechanism is induction of CYP450 2C9- or 3A4-mediated metabolism of erdafitinib, which has been shown to be metabolized by these isoenzymes.
MANAGEMENT: According to the manufacturer, if a moderate CYP450 2C9 or 3A4 inducer is coadministered at the start of erdafitinib therapy, the recommended dose of erdafitinib should be administered. If a moderate CYP450 2C9 or 3A4 inducer is coadministered after the initial dose increase period, the dose of erdafitinib may be increased up to 9 mg once daily based on serum phosphate levels and tolerability. When a moderate CYP450 2C9 or 3A4 inducer is discontinued, the current dose of erdafitinib may be continued in the absence of erdafitinib toxicity.

Drug and food interactions
dabrafenib food
Applies to: dabrafenib
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce as well as delay the absorption of dabrafenib.

MANAGEMENT: Dabrafenib should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit. It can also be unintentional in cases where a patient has been treated by more than one doctor, or had prescriptions filled at more than one pharmacy, and can have potentially adverse consequences.
