Determining the interaction of Cladribine and Procardia XL and the possibility of their joint administration.

Check result:
Cladribine <> Procardia XL
Relevance: 17.08.2022 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:

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.GENERALLY AVOID: Oral bioavailability and systemic exposure of cladribine may be increased by potent inhibitors of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) while intracellular distribution and renal elimination of cladribine may be altered by potent inhibitors of equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) and concentrative nucleoside transporter 3 (CNT3). The mechanism involves inhibition of ENT1, CNT3, and/or BCRP as cladribine is a substrate of each of these transporter systems. The clinical relevance remains unknown. MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of potent ENT1, CNT3, or BCRP transporter inhibitors should be avoided during the 4 to 5-day oral cladribine treatment cycles. If coadministration is required, consider concomitant alternatives that exhibit no or minimal inhibition of ENT1, CNT3, or BCRP. If this is not possible, dose reduction to the minimum mandatory dose, separation in the timing of administration, and careful patient monitoring is recommended. References Cerner Multum, Inc.
