Resumo

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

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

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.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece
