Consumer:CarBAMazepine may significantly reduce the blood levels of ceritinib, which may make the medication less effective in treating your cancer. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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:GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of ceritinib, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. In 19 healthy subjects, administration of a single 750 mg dose of ceritinib with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin (600 mg daily for 14 days) decreased ceritinib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 44% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 70%.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of ceritinib with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided due to the potential for reduced efficacy.
