Interactions between your drugs
nefazodone osimertinib
Applies to: Serzone (nefazodone), osimertinib
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of osimertinib, which has been shown in vitro to be primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. However, no pharmacokinetic data are available from drug interaction studies. Because osimertinib is associated with concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval, increased levels may potentiate the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes and sudden death.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of osimertinib with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided. If coadministration is required, close monitoring for adverse effects such as diarrhea, QT prolongation, torsade de pointes arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathy (e.g., cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, ejection fraction decreases) is recommended, and the osimertinib dosage adjusted accordingly or treatment discontinued as necessary.

Drug and food interactions
nefazodone food
Applies to: Serzone (nefazodone)
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
