Clozapine Orally Disintegrating Tablets and Enbrel (Etanercept Prefilled Syringes)

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.

Using cloZAPine together with etanercept is not recommended. CloZAPine can lower white blood cell count, and combining it with other medications that can also affect bone marrow function such as etanercept may increase the risk. You may be more likely to develop serious and potentially life-threatening infections as a result. You should seek immediate medical attention if you have signs and symptoms of infection such as fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination. 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.

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of clozapine with other agents that can cause neutropenia or agranulocytosis may increase the risk and/or severity of hematologic toxicity. Clozapine alone is associated with a significant risk of agranulocytosis, defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of less than 500/mm3. During premarketing trials in the U.S., at a time when the need for close monitoring of white blood cell counts was already recognized, the cumulative incidence of agranulocytosis at one year was estimated to be approximately 1.3%. The incidence has decreased postmarketing under a weekly WBC count monitoring system. Although the mechanism of clozapine-induced agranulocytosis is unknown, it is possible that causative factors may interact synergistically to increase the risk and/or severity of bone marrow suppression. A fatality rate of 3% has been reported for agranulocytosis associated with clozapine.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring are advised when clozapine is used with other agents that have a well-known potential to cause agranulocytosis or otherwise suppress bone marrow function. Agents that may be significantly myelotoxic include antineoplastic drugs, some anticonvulsant and antirheumatic medications, albendazole, chloramphenicol, colchicine, dapsone, interferons, linezolid, pentamidine, procainamide, and zidovudine.
