MONITOR: Coadministration with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may decrease the plasma concentration and therapeutic effects of momelotinib. The proposed mechanism is increased metabolism of momelotinib via the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. However, momelotinib is metabolized by multiple pathways and so the clinical significance is unclear. In a phase I study, coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (600 mg once daily) following a single dose of momelotinib (200 mg) reduced the Cmax and AUC of momelotinib by 29% and 46%, respectively, when compared with a single dose of momelotinib (200 mg) plus a single dose of rifampin (600 mg). No data are available for use with other, less potent inducers.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and monitoring for decreased momelotinib efficacy may be required when used concomitantly with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers. An alternative agent with less potential for induction should be considered if possible.

You should preferably avoid the regular consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice while taking carBAMazepine. This can cause carBAMazepine levels to increase. You should report signs of carBAMazepine side effects such as nausea, visual disturbances, dizziness, or muscle weakness to your doctor. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with carBAMazepine. Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of carBAMazepine such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
