DRUG INTERACTIONS
Acetaminophen; Butalbital; Caffeine; Codeine: (Moderate) Monitor for an increase in codeine-related adverse reactions, including sedation and respiratory depression, if coadministration with palbociclib is necessary; consider reducing the dose of codeine if clinically appropriate. If palbociclib is discontinued, monitor for evidence of opioid withdrawal until stable drug effects are achieved and consider increasing the codeine dose if necessary. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norocodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Palbociclib is a CYP3A4 inhibitor. Concomitant use may result in an increase in codeine plasma concentrations, resulting in greater metabolism by CYP2D6 and increased morphine concentrations.
Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Concomitant use of dihydrocodeine with palbociclib may increase dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, resulting in greater metabolism by CYP2D6, increased dihydromorphine concentrations, and prolonged opioid adverse reactions, including hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, and death. If coadministration is necessary, monitor patients closely at frequent intervals and consider a dosage reduction of dihydrocodeine until stable drug effects are achieved. Discontinuation of palbociclib could decrease dihydrocodeine plasma concentrations, decrease opioid efficacy, and potentially lead to a withdrawal syndrome in those with physical dependence to dihydrocodeine. If palbociclib is discontinued, monitor the patient carefully and consider increasing the opioid dosage if appropriate. Palbociclib is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4, an isoenzyme partially responsible for the metabolism of dihydrocodeine.
