Major drug interactions
Major:mobocertinib zidesamtinib
Applies to: mobocertinib, zidesamtinib
Using mobocertinib together with zidesamtinib can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a rare side effect.
You may be more susceptible if you have:
- a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome
- other cardiac diseases
- conduction abnormalities
- electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting)
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.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone.
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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Major food/lifestyle interactions
Major:Food/Lifestyle mobocertinib
Applies to: mobocertinib

- vomiting
- rash
- fatigue
- musculoskeletal pain
- mouth sores and inflammation
- heart failure
- rare but potentially serious and life-threatening irregular heart rhythm disorders
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.
Major:Food/Lifestyle zidesamtinib
Applies to: zidesamtinib
You should not consume grapefruit or grapefruit products while taking this medication as they can increase the blood levels of zidesamtinib in your body, putting you at a higher risk of serious side effects.
These may include:
- effects on the brain and nervous system, such as dizziness, fainting, depression, or problems speaking
- lung problems
- bone fractures
- muscle pain
- inflammation of the pancreas
- a change in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation
You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone.

Disease interactions
18 potential interactionsApplies to: 15 conditions, including Heart Failure, Osteoporosis, Arrhythmia, Hypokalemia, and Heart Disease.
Arrhythmia
Moderate:zidesamtinib
Zidesamtinib has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
