Talazoparib and Zithromax Tri-Pak

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.

Azithromycin may increase the blood levels of talazoparib in some patients. This may increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts. 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. You should contact your doctor if you develop paleness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, blood in phlegm, weight loss, red or inflamed skin, body sores, and pain or burning during urination. 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 inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma concentrations of talazoparib, which has been shown in vitro to be a substrate of both efflux membrane transporters. In clinical studies, administration of talazoparib with the P-gp inhibitors amiodarone, carvedilol, clarithromycin, itraconazole, and verapamil resulted in an approximate 45% increase in talazoparib exposure and an increase in the rate of talazoparib dose reduction. In contrast, coadministration with the P-gp inhibitors azithromycin, atorvastatin, diltiazem, felodipine, fluvoxamine, and quercetin increased talazoparib exposure by just 8%. The effect of BCRP inhibitors on the pharmacokinetics of talazoparib has not been studied.

MANAGEMENT: No initial dosage adjustment is recommended by the manufacturer when talazoparib is coadministered with inhibitors of BCRP and/or P-gp other than amiodarone, carvedilol, clarithromycin, itraconazole, or verapamil. However, patients should be closely monitored for adverse effects such as myelosuppression and myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia, and dosage adjustments made or treatment withheld as needed in accordance with the product labeling.
