Selected Immunosuppressants/Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Interactions

This information is generalized and not intended as specific medical advice. Consult your healthcare professional before taking or discontinuing any drug or commencing any course of treatment.

Medical warning:

Serious. These medicines may interact and cause very harmful effects. Contact your healthcare professional (e.g. doctor or pharmacist) for more information.

How the interaction occurs:

Your medicine may speed up how quickly your body processes cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus, tacrolimus, and temsirolimus.

What might happen:

The amount of cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus, tacrolimus, or temsirolimus in your blood may decrease and it may not work as well.

What you should do about this interaction:

Make sure your healthcare professionals (e.g. doctor or pharmacist) know that you are taking these medicines together. Your doctor may want to check the amount of cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus, tacrolimus, or temsirolimus in your blood and may need to change the amount of cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus, tacrolimus, or temsirolimus you take while you are taking your other medicine.Your healthcare professionals may already be aware of this interaction and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.
