Table 1

(in 10 parts) summarizes observed or potential drug interactions between TKIs and commonly concomitantly prescribed drugs or classical interacting agents (lines) sorted according to the ATC classification. The arrows ↑ and ↓ indicate an increase or decrease of drug concentration, respectively. Boldface text outlines interactions reported in the literature (reference number), whereas standard characters represent potential interactions predicted from theoretical considerations (but not yet reported in the literature). “Absence of interaction” means that a clinical study concluded to the absence of interaction (reference number), and “—” means that no interaction is either reported or theoretically expected.

TKIs in general can cause thrombocytopenia, which is usually of no clinical relevance. Please take that into consideration when coadministrating with anticoagulant medication.

PT indicates prothrombin time; INR, international normalized ratio.

*

As lopinavir is co-administered with ritonavir, the net clinical effect observed is inhibition of CYP 3A4 and Pgp by ritonavir, and therefore increase of TKI exposure.
