Seconal Sodium and Sorafenib

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.

Secobarbital may reduce the blood levels of SORAfenib 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of sorafenib, which is partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. When a single 400 mg oral dose of sorafenib was administered to healthy volunteers following treatment with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin at a dosage of 600 mg once daily for 5 days, mean sorafenib systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 37% compared to sorafenib administered alone. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent inducers.

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