Summary
Tazemetostat is a weak-to-moderate CYP3A4 inducer, and siponimod is partly metabolised by CYP3A4, so siponimod exposure may fall modestly. Tazemetostat is also not clearly immunosuppressive, so additive infection risk is uncertain.

Siponimod and Tazemetostat have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
