इमैटिनिब और ट्रायमसिनोलोन का इंटरैक्शन

Co-administration of other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, cobicistat-containing products) with KENALOG-40 Injection may cause increased plasma concentration of triamcinolone leading to adverse reactions.

CYP3A4 inhibitors: Triamcinolone acetonide is a substrate of CYP3A4.

(See ADVERSE REACTIONS . ) During postmarketing use, there have been reports of clinically significant drug interactions in patients receiving triamcinolone acetonide and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir).

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.

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