Gemfibrozil has been associated with markedly raised bexarotene plasma concentrations in a labeling-described observation. Higher bexarotene exposure may worsen its dose-related toxicities such as hypertriglyceridemia, hypothyroidism and pancreatitis.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Bexarotene and Gemfibrozil 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.

Bexarotene belongs to Oncology; Gemfibrozil belongs to Cardiovascular.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Proposed inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated and possibly other metabolic clearance of bexarotene by gemfibrozil; the mechanism is not firmly established.
