Ceritinib and Topcare Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid
Determining the interaction of Ceritinib and Topcare Complete Acid Reducer plus Antacid and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Talk to your doctor before using ceritinib together with famotidine. By reducing stomach acid, there is a possibility that famotidine and other medications like it may decrease the absorption of ceritinib and make it less effective. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor 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.
Professional:MONITOR: Drugs that alter the pH of the upper gastrointestinal tract may affect the solubility of ceritinib and reduce its bioavailability. The interaction has not been formally studied; however, the solubility of ceritinib has been found to be pH-dependent in vitro and the drug becomes poorly soluble as pH increases.
MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advised if ceritinib is used with drugs that can alter the gastric pH such as proton pump inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists, and antacids. The potential for diminished therapeutic effects of ceritinib should be considered, and pharmacologic response should be closely monitored.
