Interactions between your drugs
dexAMETHasone moxifloxacin
Applies to: dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin, dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin
Moxifloxacin and other medications in its class can cause tendinitis and tendon rupture, and the risk may be increased when combined with a steroid such as dexAMETHasone. Older adults over 60 years of age and those who have received a kidney, heart, and/or lung transplant may be particularly susceptible. Tendon rupture can occur during or up to several months after finishing moxifloxacin treatment and may require surgery or result in prolonged disability. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Stop taking moxifloxacin and call your doctor immediately if you experience pain, swelling, or inflammation of a tendon area such as the back of the ankle, shoulder, biceps, hand, or thumb. You should also avoid exercise or use of the affected area until further instruction from your doctor. 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.
dexAMETHasone tezacaftor
Applies to: dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin, deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent or moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor, drugs primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) simulations suggest that coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin may decrease vanzacaftor peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 78% and 82%, respectively, and may decrease deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 80% and 90%, respectively. Similarly, the moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer efavirenz is predicted to decrease vanzacaftor Cmax and AUC by 65% and 69%, respectively; and may decrease deutivacaftor Cmax and AUC by 56% and 73%, respectively. No pharmacokinetic data are available for tezacaftor, but decreased exposures are expected according to prescribing information.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of vanzacaftor, tezacaftor, and deutivacaftor containing medications with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers is not recommended.
dexAMETHasone vanzacaftor
Applies to: dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin, deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor

dexAMETHasone ketorolac
Applies to: dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin, dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin
Using dexAMETHasone together with ketorolac may increase the risk of side effects in the gastrointestinal tract such as inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and rarely, perforation. Gastrointestinal perforation is a potentially fatal condition and medical emergency where a hole forms all the way through the stomach or intestine. You should take these medications with food to lessen the risk. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Your doctor may also be able to recommend medications to help protect the stomach and intestine if you are at high risk for developing serious gastrointestinal complications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising, or have other signs and symptoms of bleeding such as dizziness; lightheadedness; red or black, tarry stools; coughing up or vomiting fresh or dried blood that looks like coffee grounds; severe headache; and weakness. 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.
ketorolac moxifloxacin
Applies to: dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin, dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin
Moxifloxacin may rarely cause central nervous system side effects such as tremors, involuntary muscle movements, anxiety, confusion, depression, hallucinations or seizures, and combining it with other medications that can also affect the central nervous system such as ketorolac may increase that risk. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor 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.
Drug and food interactions
tezacaftor food
Applies to: deutivacaftor / tezacaftor / vanzacaftor
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, and vanzacaftor. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation- dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. The risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as liver damage may be increased.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with fat-containing food may increase the oral bioavailability of vanzacaftor and deutivacaftor. Administration with a fat containing meal increased vanzacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) by 4- (low-fat meal) to 6- (high-fat meal) fold. While deutivacaftor AUC increased approximately 3- (low-fat meal) to 4- (high-fat meal) fold, relative to administration in a fasting state. Tezacaftor exposure is not significantly affected by administration of fat-containing foods.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with tezacaftor, deutivacaftor, vanzacaftor -containing medications should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and any food that contains grapefruit. To improve absorption, patients should be advised to take vanzacaftor and/or deutivacaftor containing medications with fat-containing foods such as eggs, avocados, nuts, meat, butter, peanut butter, cheese pizza, and whole-milk dairy products at approximately the same time of the day. A typical cystic fibrosis diet will satisfy this requirement.

ketorolac food
Applies to: dexamethasone / ketorolac / moxifloxacin
Ask your doctor before using ketorolac together with ethanol (alcohol). Do not drink alcohol while taking ketorolac. Alcohol can increase your risk of stomach bleeding caused by ketorolac. Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This includes black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. 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.
