Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

cholecalciferol pemigatinib

Applies to: Genicin Vita-D (cholecalciferol / folic acid) and pemigatinib

Using cholecalciferol together with pemigatinib may increase the levels of phosphate in the blood, which may increase your risk of high phosphate levels (hyperphosphatemia), and a buildup of minerals such as calcium in different tissues in your body. Your doctor will check your blood phosphate level regularly when your first start treatment with pemigatinib and regularly throughout treatment. They may recommend changes in your diet, phosphate-lowering therapy, and/or change your dose of pemigatinib if necessary. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you develop signs and symptoms of high phosphate levels in the blood (hyperphosphatemia) such as muscle cramps, convulsions, tingling or numbness around the mouth, and bone pain. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug and food interactions

Major

pemigatinib food

Applies to: pemigatinib

Pemigatinib may be taken with or without food. Do not consume grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with pemigatinib unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of pemigatinib. This may increase the frequency and severity of serious side effects such as elevated phosphate levels in the blood (which can eventually lead to low blood calcium levels; calcium deposits in the skin, muscles, and other tissues; anemia; muscle cramps; seizures; and irregular heart rhythm), eye and vision problems, joint pain, mouth sores and inflammation, hair loss, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

folic acid food

Applies to: Genicin Vita-D (cholecalciferol / folic acid)

Talk to your doctor before using alcohol together with folic acid. Excessive consumption of alcohol may reduce the absorption and increase the elimination of folic acid. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

cholecalciferol food

Applies to: Genicin Vita-D (cholecalciferol / folic acid)

Treatment with cholecalciferol may require you to adjust your dietary intake of foods which contain natural or added calcium, phosphate (organic and inorganic), and vitamin D. Ingesting too much vitamin D or having elevated calcium and/or phosphorus levels in the blood and urine can lead to toxic effects, such as having an irregular heart rhythm, seizures, kidney stones, and eventual calcification of your blood vessels, cornea and/or the soft tissues in your body. Your doctor will monitor the levels of calcium and phosphorus in your blood during treatment with cholecalciferol. Please speak with your healthcare team to determine if you require a specialized diet, particularly if you have reduced kidney function, and to discuss any other questions or concerns you have. You may require additional monitoring or a dose adjustment of cholecalciferol if your diet changes. Fortified foods will state on their labeling how much calcium, phosphate, and/or vitamin D has been added. The National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements also provides information on which foods contain calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. You should avoid abrupt changes in your dietary calcium intake and seek medical attention if you experience early symptoms of vitamin D intoxication such as weakness, fatigue, headache, drowsiness, vertigo, ringing in the ears, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, metallic taste, muscle pain, bone pain, muscle incoordination, and low muscle tone. Late symptoms may include frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, conjunctivitis ("pink eye"), light sensitivity, runny nose, itching, increased body temperature, and irregular heart rhythm. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
