Interactions between your drugs
trametinib gilteritinib
Applies to: trametinib, gilteritinib
MONITOR: Coadministration with gilteritinib may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and/or organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) transporters, such as dabigatran, digoxin, rosuvastatin, methotrexate, and metformin. The proposed mechanism, based on in vitro data, is decreased clearance due to gilteritinib-mediated inhibition of intestinal P-gp, BCRP, and/or OCT1 efflux transport proteins.
MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advised if gilteritinib is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of the intestinal P-gp, BCRP, and/or OCT1 transport proteins, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever gilteritinib is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.

Drug and food/lifestyle interactions
trametinib food/lifestyle
Applies to: trametinib
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce as well as delay the absorption of trametinib. In study subjects, administration of a single dose of trametinib with a high-fat, high-calorie meal decreased peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 70% and 24%, respectively, and delayed Tmax by approximately 4 hours compared to administration in the fasted state.
MANAGEMENT: Trametinib should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

Therapeutic duplication warnings
Therapeutic duplication is the use of more than one medicine from the same drug category or therapeutic class to treat the same condition. 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.
Multikinase inhibitors
