Summary

Repotrectinib induces CYP3A4 and may lower concentrations of CYP3A substrates. Thioridazine is mainly metabolized by CYP2D6, so a loss of effect is possible but its importance is uncertain; induction could also alter metabolite formation.

What this interaction means in plain words

Repotrectinib and Thioridazine can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Repotrectinib belongs to Oncology; Thioridazine belongs to Central Nervous System.

Evidence level: Low

Why it happens

CYP3A4 induction by repotrectinib may reduce thioridazine exposure, though CYP3A4 is a minor pathway.

What to do

Monitor psychiatric response and adjust the thioridazine dose if efficacy declines. Consider an alternative antipsychotic if control is lost.

What to ask your pharmacist
