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:

CarBAMazepine may reduce the blood levels of pomalidomide, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 1A2, CYP450 3A4, and/or P-glycoprotein may decrease the plasma concentrations of pomalidomide, which has been shown to be primarily metabolized by these isoenzymes and also a substrate of the efflux transporter.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of pomalidomide with potent inducers of CYP450 isoenzymes and/or P-glycoprotein should generally be avoided.
