Interactions between your drugs
ezetimibe rosuvastatin
Applies to: Roszet (ezetimibe / rosuvastatin), Roszet (ezetimibe / rosuvastatin)
Using ezetimibe together with rosuvastatin can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage and a rare but serious condition called rhabdomyolysis that involves the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue. In some cases, rhabdomyolysis can cause kidney damage and even death. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Let your doctor know immediately if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking these medications, especially if these symptoms are accompanied by fever or dark colored urine. You should also seek immediate medical attention if you develop fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage. 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.
ezetimibe pralsetinib
Applies to: Roszet (ezetimibe / rosuvastatin), pralsetinib
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of the organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and/or 1B3 may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of ezetimibe, which is a substrate of these hepatic uptake transporters. When a single dose of ezetimibe was taken with steady state bempedoic acid, a weak inhibitor of OATP1B1 and 1B3, the systemic exposure (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of total ezetimibe (ezetimibe and its glucuronide form) increased by 1.6- and 1.8-fold, respectively. These increases were not considered clinically significant. When coadministered in patients on cyclosporine, a stronger OATP1B1 and 1B3 inhibitor, the AUC and Cmax of total ezetimibe increased by approximately 3.4- and 3.9-fold, respectively, compared to the exposure observed in a historical healthy control population. In another study, a renal transplant patient with severe renal dysfunction who was receiving multiple medications, including cyclosporine, demonstrated a 12-fold greater exposure to total ezetimibe compared to healthy subjects. The exact mechanism of the interaction with cyclosporine is unknown, but its ability to inhibit OATP1B1 and 1B3 may play a role. Data are not available for all inhibitors of OATP1B1 and/or 1B3 with ezetimibe.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and additional monitoring may be advisable if ezetimibe is used concurrently with OATP1B1 and/or 1B3 inhibitors. Additional monitoring of liver enzymes and creatine kinase (CK) may be necessary. Patients should also be advised to promptly report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness to their healthcare provider.
rosuvastatin pralsetinib
Applies to: Roszet (ezetimibe / rosuvastatin), pralsetinib
Pralsetinib may alter the blood levels and effects of rosuvastatin. 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. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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
pralsetinib food
Applies to: pralsetinib
Pralsetinib should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after or 1 hour before a meal. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with pralsetinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of pralsetinib. This may increase the risk and/or severity of serious side effects such as lung problems, high blood pressure, liver problems, bleeding, fatigue, muscle pains, or constipation. 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. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
