Relevance: 04.01.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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:

Everolimus may cause kidney problems, and combining it with other medications that can also affect the kidney such as acyclovir may increase that risk. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms that may suggest kidney damage such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, increased or decreased urination, sudden weight gain or weight loss, fluid retention, swelling, shortness of breath, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, and irregular heart rhythm. 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 CLOSELY: Coadministration of macrolide immunosuppressants with other nephrotoxic agents may increase the risk and/or severity of renal impairment due to additive adverse effects on the kidney. No formal interaction studies have been performed. However, clinical experience in coadministration with cyclosporine indicates increased renal toxicity as evidenced by increased serum creatinine and decreased glomerular filtration rate. An interaction with ibuprofen resulting in acute renal failure was suspected in two liver transplant patients who had been stabilized on tacrolimus.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when macrolide immunosuppressants is used in patients who have recently received or are receiving treatment with other potentially nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides; polypeptide, glycopeptide, and polymyxin antibiotics; amphotericin B; adefovir; cidofovir; tenofovir; foscarnet; cisplatin; cyclosporine; deferasirox; gallium nitrate; lithium; mesalamine; intravenous bisphosphonates; intravenous pentamidine; high intravenous dosages of methotrexate; high dosages and/or chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents). Renal function should be closely monitored both during and after discontinuation of therapy. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms that may indicate nephrotoxicity such as decreased urine output, sudden weight gain, fluid retention, edema, or shortness of breath.
