Equetro and Netupitant and palonosetron

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.

CarBAMazepine may significantly reduce the blood levels of netupitant, which may make the medication less effective for nausea and vomiting. 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.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of netupitant. When a single 300 mg-0.5 mg dose of netupitant-palonosetron was administered following 600 mg once daily administration of the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin for 17 days, mean netupitant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 62% and 82%, respectively, while mean Cmax and AUC of palonosetron decreased by 15% and 19%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of netupitant or its prodrug, fosnetupitant, should generally be avoided during chronic administration of potent CYP450 3A4 inducers due to the potential for reduced efficacy of netupitant.
