Resumo
Phenytoin strongly induces CYP3A4 and can substantially lower gefitinib exposure. This may reduce antitumor efficacy in EGFR-mutated lung cancer.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Gefitinib and Phenytoin 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; Phenytoin belongs to Central Nervous System.
Por que acontece
CYP3A4 induction by phenytoin accelerates the metabolism of gefitinib.
