Although docetaxel is a substrate of CYP450 3A4, no significant interaction has been reported with dexamethasone or prednisone, both of which are inducers of the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, docetaxel total body clearance was not modified by pretreatment with dexamethasone. In addition, dexamethasone does not affect the protein-binding of docetaxel, which is more than 95% protein-bound. The effect of prednisone on the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel administered with standard dexamethasone premedication was studied in 42 patients. No effect on the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel was observed.
