Drug Interaction Report

Before you can receive treatment with exagamglogene autotemcel, you will receive chemotherapy. Deferasirox may interfere with that chemotherapy treatment, so the makers of exagamglogene autotemcel suggest stopping deferasirox for a certain period of time before and after receiving treatment with exagamglogene autotemcel. 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.

You may experience reduced absorption of deferasirox in the presence of food. Take deferasirox on an empty stomach 30 minutes before eating preferably at the same time everyday unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. The tablets should not be chewed or swallowed whole. The tablets should first be completely dispersed in water, orange juice, or apple juice, and the resulting suspension drunk immediately. After swallowing the suspension any residue should be resuspended in a small volume of the liquid and swallowed.
