Interactions between your drugs

Major

everolimus encorafenib

Applies to: everolimus, encorafenib

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may significantly decrease the blood concentrations and pharmacologic effects of everolimus. In a study of healthy volunteers, multiple doses of the potent inducer rifampin increased the oral clearance of everolimus by threefold, representing mean decreases in peak blood concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) of 58% and 63%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of everolimus with potent CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp inducers should generally be avoided. Alternative therapeutic agents with less enzyme induction potential should be considered. Some manufacturers recommend that, if concomitant use is unavoidable, the daily everolimus dose should be doubled to achieve the recommended therapeutic range for the condition being treated. Please refer to the manufacturer's labeling for specific dosing information. If the potent CYP450 3A4 and/or P-gp inducer is discontinued, the everolimus dosage should be returned to the dosage used before the potent inducer was commenced after a washout period of approximately 3 to 5 days. Everolimus whole blood trough levels should be closely monitored during treatment, particularly 2 weeks after a dose increase, and 2 weeks after discontinuation of the potent inducers.

You should preferably avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking encorafenib. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels of encorafenib. This may increase the risk of serious side effects such as bleeding complications, eye and vision problems, liver problems, irregular heart rhythm, and development of new skin cancers. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.
