التداخل بين ديكساميثازون وإيماتينيب

• Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers.

Avoid coadministration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or consider alternative medication that are not strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

If concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors cannot be avoided, closely monitor for adverse drug reactions.

( ‎7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on HEMADY Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors Coadministration of strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increased dexamethasone exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (‎ 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (‎ 5 ) and Adverse Reactions (‎ 6 )] .

If either is abnormal, consider prophylactic use of systemic steroids (1-2 mg/kg) for one to two weeks concomitantly with Gleevec at the initiation of therapy.

In these instances, Gleevec was resumed at a dose lower than that at which the reaction occurred and some patients also received concomitant treatment with corticosteroids or antihistamines.

CYP3A4 inducers may decrease Gleevec C max and area under curve (AUC).

Agents Inducing CYP3A Metabolism Concomitant administration of Gleevec and strong CYP3A4 inducers may reduce total exposure of imatinib; consider alternative agents [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

The condition was reported to be reversible with the administration of systemic steroids, circulatory support measures and temporarily withholding Gleevec.
