Tagamet and Tykerb
Determining the interaction of Tagamet and Tykerb and the possibility of their joint administration.
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:Talk to your doctor before using lapatinib together with cimetidine. In some patients, cimetidine may interfere with the absorption of lapatinib and reduce its effectiveness. 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: Nonclinical data indicate that the solubility of lapatinib is pH-dependent. Therefore, long-term suppression of gastric acid secretion by H2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors may reduce lapatinib systemic exposure. In study subjects, coadministration with the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole (40 mg once daily for 7 days) decreased lapatinib exposure by an average of 27% (range 6% to 49%). This effect decreases with increasing age from approximately 40 to 60 years. The clinical significance is unknown.
MANAGEMENT: Caution may be advisable if lapatinib is used in combination with H2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for potentially reduced therapeutic response to lapatinib.
