डॉनोरूबिसिन और डॉक्सोरूबिसिन का इंटरैक्शन

Daunorubicin hydrochloride should not be used in patients who have previously received the recommended maximum cumulative doses of doxorubicin or daunorubicin hydrochloride.

Pre-existing heart disease and previous therapy with doxorubicin are co-factors of increased risk of daunorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity and the benefit-to-risk ratio of daunorubicin hydrochloride therapy in such patients should be weighed before starting daunorubicin hydrochloride.

In both children and adults, the total dose of daunorubicin hydrochloride administered should also take into account any previous or concomitant therapy with other potentially cardiotoxic agents or related compounds such as doxorubicin.

Drug Interactions Use of daunorubicin in a patient who has previously received doxorubicin increases the risk of cardiotoxicity.

Based on prior clinical experience with doxorubicin, this limit appears lower, namely 400 mg/m 2 , in patients who received radiation therapy that encompassed the heart.
