Resumo

Imatinib inhibits CYP3A4, the main enzyme clearing bosutinib, and can raise bosutinib exposure substantially. This increases the risk of bosutinib toxicity such as diarrhea, hepatotoxicity and myelosuppression. Both drugs are also BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors, so combining them offers little therapeutic rationale.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Bosutinib and Imatinib 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.
