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:
Moderate. These medicines may cause some risk when taken together. Contact your healthcare professional (e.g. doctor or pharmacist) for more information.
How the interaction occurs:
How this interaction occurs is not fully understood but may be related to the effects of proton pump inhibitors on your gut bacteria or stomach acid. Palbociclib needs some stomach acid to be absorbed into your body. Proton pump inhibitors decrease the amount of acid in your stomach.
What might happen:
The amount of palbociclib in your blood may decrease. Your therapy 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. You may need to change your medicine to avoid an interaction.
