Check result:
Encorafenib <> Seconal Sodium
Relevance: 16.06.2022 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:

Secobarbital may reduce the blood levels of encorafenib in some patients, which may make the medication less effective. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. 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: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of encorafenib, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. The extent to which CYP450 3A4 inducers may affect encorafenib exposure has not been studied. In clinical trials, steady-state encorafenib exposures were lower than encorafenib exposures after the first dose, suggesting CYP450 3A4 auto-induction.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of encorafenib should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative treatments or a dose adjustment of encorafenib may be required if an interaction is suspected.
