Interaction between Pilocarpine and Alectinib
Moderate
Synergy
ID | DDInter1465 and DDInter39 |
Interaction | Coadministration of alectinib with other agents that can slow the heart rate may increase the risk of bradycardia. |
Management | Caution is advised when alectinib is prescribed with other drugs that can cause bradycardia (e.g., beta-blockers; calcium channel blockers; digitalis; dolasetron; flecainide; ivabradine; lacosamide; mefloquine; moricizine; propafenone; quinine; succinylcholine; sunitinib; thalidomide; anticholinesterase or cholinergic agents; protease inhibitors such as atazanavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and saquinavir/ritonavir). Heart rate and blood pressure should be monitored regularly, and patients should be counseled to seek medical attention if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or irregular heartbeat. |

Potential Metabolism Interactions
Substrate-Substrate Interaction:If more than one drug is metabolized by the same CYP, it is possible that its metabolism is inhibited because of the competition between the drugs. That means, it can be useful to lower the dosage of the drugs in the drug-cocktail because they remain longer in the organism than in monotherapy.
Inhibitor-Inhibitor Interaction:Combining two or more inhibitors of one CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage of these drugs because the metabolism is reduced and the drugs remain longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
Inhibitor-Substrate Interaction:Combining drugs that have inhibitory effect and are substrates of one particular CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage. They rest longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
