Sintesi

Gefitinib solubility falls as gastric pH rises, and PPIs can markedly lower gefitinib exposure. This may reduce anticancer efficacy.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Esomeprazole and Gefitinib can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Esomeprazole belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Gefitinib belongs to Oncology.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Sustained increases in gastric pH reduce gefitinib dissolution and absorption.

Cosa fare

Avoid concomitant PPI use if possible; if a PPI is essential, give gefitinib 12 hours after the PPI dose and consider an alternative acid reducer.
