Interactions from the label

Major interactions (6)

  • Fatal bleomycin pulmonary toxicity has been reported in a patient with unrecognized cisplatin-induced oliguric renal failure. (Bleomycin label, Drug interactions)

  • GentamicinaminoglycosideMajor

    Concurrent and/or sequential systemic or topical use of other potentially neurotoxic and/or nephrotoxic drugs, such as cisplatin, cephaloridine, kanamycin, amikacin, neomycin, polymyxin B, colistin, paromomycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, vancomycin, and viomycin, should be avoided (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions section). (Gentamicin label, Boxed warning)

  • NeomycinaminoglycosideMajor

    Concurrent and/or sequential systemic, oral or topical use of other aminoglycosides, including paromomycin and other potentially nephrotoxic and/or neurotoxic drugs such as bacitracin, cisplatin, vancomycin, amphotericin B, polymyxin B, colistin and viomycin, should be avoided because the toxicity may be additive. (Neomycin label, Boxed warning)

  • PentamidineQT-prolonging drugMajor

    Because the nephrotoxic effects may be additive, the concomitant or sequential use of Pentamidine Isethionate and other nephrotoxic drugs such as aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cisplatin, foscarnet, or vancomycin should be closely monitored and avoided, if possible. (Pentamidine label, Drug interactions)

  • PhenytoinanticonvulsantMajor

    …magnesium hydroxide Prevention or Management: Phenytoin and antacids should not be taken at the same time of day Antineoplastic agents (usually in combination) Bleomycin, carboplatin, cisplatin, doxorubicin, methotrexate Antiviral agents Fosamprenavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir Antiepileptic drugs Carbamazepine, vigabatrin Other Chronic alcohol abuse, diazepam, diazoxide,… (Phenytoin label, Drug interactions)

  • NEXAVAR in combination with gemcitabine/cisplatin is not recommended in patients with squamous cell lung cancer. (Sorafenib label, Warnings and precautions)

Moderate interactions (7)

  • FosphenytoinanticonvulsantModerate

    …phenothiazines, salicylates, ticlopidine, tolbutamide, trazodone, warfarin Drugs that may decrease phenytoin serum levels Antineoplastic agents usually in combination Bleomycin, carboplatin, cisplatin, doxorubicin, methotrexate Antiviral agents Fosamprenavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir Antiepileptic drugs Carbamazepine, vigabatrin Other Chronic alcohol abuse, diazepam, diazoxide,… (Fosphenytoin label, Drug interactions)

  • Furosemideloop diureticModerate

    • Cisplatin and nephrotoxic drugs : Risk of ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity ( 7.1 ) (Furosemide label, Drug interactions)

  • IfosfamideModerate

    Risk factors include high ifosfamide dosage, hypoalbuminemia, impaired renal function, poor performance status, bulky abdominal-pelvic disease, nephrotoxic treatments including cisplatin, CNS active drugs, or alcohol use. (Ifosfamide label, Warnings and precautions)

  • RituximabimmunosuppressantModerate

    Renal toxicity has occurred in patients who experience tumor lysis syndrome and in patients with NHL administered concomitant cisplatin therapy during clinical trials. (Rituximab label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TacrolimusimmunosuppressantModerate

    The risk for nephrotoxicity may increase when ASTAGRAF XL is concomitantly administered with CYP3A inhibitors (by increasing tacrolimus whole blood concentrations) or drugs associated with nephrotoxicity (e.g., aminoglycosides, ganciclovir, amphotericin B, cisplatin, nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors). (Tacrolimus label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TrilaciclibModerate

    Co-administration of COSELA may increase the concentration or net accumulation of OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates in the kidney (e.g., dofetilide, dalfampridine, and cisplatin) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. (Trilaciclib label, Drug interactions)

  • Verapamilcalcium channel blockerModerate

    The absorption of verapamil can be reduced by the cyclophosphamide, oncovin, procarbazine, prednisone (COPP) and the vindesine, adriamycin, cisplatin (VAC) cytotoxic drug regimens. (Verapamil label, Drug interactions)

Minor mentions (8)

  • Closely evaluate the renal function of patients Examples: Aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, systemic bacitracin, cisplatin, cyclosporine, foscarnet, or parenteral vancomycin Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors Clinical Impact: The hyponatremic and hypotensive effects of ACE inhibitors may be diminished by the concomitant administration of aspirin due… (Butalbital, aspirin, caffeine, and codeine label, Drug interactions)

  • In gastric cancer patients treated with docetaxel in combination with cisplatin and fluorouracil (TCF), febrile neutropenia and/or neutropenic infection occurred in 12% of patients receiving G-CSF compared to 28% who did not. (Docetaxel label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Cisplatin may affect melphalan kinetics by inducing renal dysfunction and subsequently altering melphalan clearance. (Melphalan label, Drug interactions)

  • OndansetronQT-prolonging drugMinor

    Chemotherapy In humans, carmustine, etoposide, and cisplatin do not affect the pharmacokinetics of ondansetron. (Ondansetron label, Drug interactions)

  • PemetrexedantimetaboliteMinor

    …(38% versus 23%), thrombocytopenia (9% versus 5%), febrile neutropenia (9% versus 0.6%), and neutropenic infection (6% versus 0) were higher in patients who received pemetrexed plus cisplatin without vitamin supplementation as compared to patients who were fully supplemented with folic acid and vitamin B 12 prior to and throughout pemetrexed plus cisplatin treatment. (Pemetrexed label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Spironolactonealdosterone antagonistMinor

    Worsening of renal function can also occur with concomitant use of nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides, cisplatin, and NSAIDs). (Spironolactone label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Torsemideloop diureticMinor

    Worsening of renal function can also occur with concomitant use of nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides, cisplatin, and NSAIDs). (Torsemide label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Myelosuppression Myelosuppression, manifested by neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia, occur in patients receiving vinorelbine as a single agent and in combination with cisplatin [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 , 6.2 )] . (Vinorelbine label, Warnings and precautions)
