Enzalutamide and Xanax

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.

Enzalutamide may decrease the blood levels and effects of ALPRAZolam. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration with enzalutamide may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C9, 2C19, and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter. The proposed mechanism involves accelerated clearance via these routes due to enzalutamide-mediated induction. The resulting plasma concentrations will depend on the sensitivity of the affected drugs to these isoenzymes.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when enzalutamide is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C9, 2C19, and/or P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever enzalutamide is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
