Resumo

Gefitinib absorption falls when gastric pH is raised, and acid suppression can lower gefitinib exposure and reduce antitumor effect.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Gefitinib and Pantoprazole 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.

Gefitinib belongs to Oncology; Pantoprazole belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

Gefitinib is a weak base with pH-dependent solubility, so raised gastric pH reduces its dissolution and absorption.

O que fazer

Avoid PPIs where possible. If an acid suppressant is essential, use an H2 blocker or antacid given at staggered times, taking gefitinib at least 6 hours apart from them (12 hours from H2 blockers where labeled).
