Filter by interaction and/or warning

Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

treosulfan dasatinib

Applies to: treosulfan, dasatinib

Treosulfan may increase the blood levels and effects of dasatinib.

Contact your doctor if your condition changes during treatment with these medications. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.

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 dasatinib

Applies to: dasatinib

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with dasatinib.

Grapefruit juice can significantly increase the blood levels and effects of dasatinib, which may result in excessive slowing of heart rate or other conduction disturbances and it may affect your bone marrow function, resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts.

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, paleness, fatigue, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, blood in phlegm, weight loss, pain or burning during urination, red or inflamed skin, or body sores during treatment with dasatinib.

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.

Disease interactions

13 potential interactionsApplies to: 12 conditions, including Heart Failure, Seizures, Hypokalemia, Fluid Retention, and Liver Disease.

Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

Thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, and neutropenia occur with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting bone marrow suppression. A complete blood count should be performed every 1 to 2 weeks for the first month of therapy and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. To manage myelosuppression, withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Cardiovascular events (including arterial vascular occlusive events, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and ischemic cerebrovascular events) have been reported in patients receiving BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if acute signs or symptoms of cardiovascular events occur. Cardiovascular status should be evaluated, and cardiovascular risk factors should be monitored and actively managed during treatment.

Fluid Retention

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Heart Failure

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Hypokalemia

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Dasatinib has shown to prolong QT interval in a concentration-dependent manner. Caution should be exercised specially in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, patients with hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or with history of arrhythmias and on antiarrhythmic medication. Hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia should be corrected before starting treatment. Patients at risk should be monitored with an EKG before treatment and periodically as clinically indicated. Dose adjustments might be needed.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Caution is advised when administering dasatinib to patients with hepatic impairment. Monitoring is recommended and dose adjustment might be necessary.

Moderate:

treosulfan

Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Treosulfan has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe liver and renal dysfunction.

Long QT Syndrome

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Long QT Syndrome.

Dasatinib has shown to prolong QT interval in a concentration-dependent manner. Caution should be exercised specially in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, patients with hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or with history of arrhythmias and on antiarrhythmic medication. Hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia should be corrected before starting treatment. Patients at risk should be monitored with an EKG before treatment and periodically as clinically indicated. Dose adjustments might be needed.

Magnesium Imbalance

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.

Dasatinib has shown to prolong QT interval in a concentration-dependent manner. Caution should be exercised specially in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, patients with hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or with history of arrhythmias and on antiarrhythmic medication. Hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia should be corrected before starting treatment. Patients at risk should be monitored with an EKG before treatment and periodically as clinically indicated. Dose adjustments might be needed.

Pleural Effusion

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pleural Effusion.

Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.

Pulmonary Heart or Vascular Disease

Moderate:

dasatinib

Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Pulmonary Heart or Vascular Disease.

Dasatinib can increase the risk of developing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which may occur any time after treatment initiation, including after more than 1 year of treatment. Manifestations may include dyspnea, fatigue, hypoxia, and fluid retention. PAH may be reversible with treatment discontinuation. Caution should be exercised in patients with underlying cardiopulmonary disease. If PAH develops, treatment should be discontinued.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

treosulfan

Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Treosulfan has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe liver and renal dysfunction.

Seizures

Moderate:

treosulfan

Treosulfan has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

There have been reports of seizures in patients following treatment with treosulfan. Patients should be monitored for signs of neurological adverse reactions, and clonazepam prophylaxis may be considered for patients at higher risk for seizures, including infants.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
