Drug Interaction	Drug Names
Radioactive Iodide/Agents that Affect Iodide SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Many compounds can affect iodide protein binding and alter iodide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Compounds that affect iodide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may impact the effectiveness of radioactive iodide.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Compounds that affect iodide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are expected to have the most impact during therapy using radioactive iodide. Diagnostic procedures would be expected to be impacted less. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Discuss the use of agents that affect iodide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with the patient's oncologist.(1) Because indocyanine green contains sodium iodide, the iodine-binding capacity of thyroid tissue may be reduced for at least one week following administration. Do not perform radioactive iodine uptake studies for at least one week following administration of indocyanine green.(2) The manufacturer of iopamidol states administration may interfere with thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine and decrease therapeutic and diagnostic efficacy. Avoid thyroid therapy or testing for up to 6 weeks post administration of iopamidol.(3) DISCUSSION: Many agents interact with radioactive iodine. The average duration of effect is: anticoagulants - 1 week antihistamines - 1 week anti-thyroid drugs, e.g: carbimazole, methimazole, propylthiouracil - 3-5 days corticosteroids - 1 week iodide-containing medications, e.g: amiodarone - 1-6 months expectorants - 2 weeks Lugol solution - 3 weeks saturated solution of potassium iodine - 3 weeks vitamins - 10-14 days iodide-containing X-ray contrast agents - up to 1 year lithium - 4 weeks phenylbutazone - 1-2 weeks sulfonamides - 1 week thyroid hormones (natural or synthetic), e.g.: thyroxine - 4 weeks tri-iodothyronine - 2 weeks tolbutamide - 1 week topical iodide - 1-9 months (1)	ADREVIEW, JEANATOPE, MEGATOPE, SODIUM IODIDE I-123

Drug Interaction	Drug Names
Mometasone/Selected CYP3A4 Inhibitors SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: CYP3A4 inhibitors may inhibit the metabolism of mometasone.(1-14,17) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of CYP3A4 inhibitors may result in increased systemic exposure to and effects from mometasone, including Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression.(1-14,17) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Use caution when using concurrent therapy with mometasone and CYP3A4 inhibitors. Alternative corticosteroids that are less affected by CYP3A4 inhibitors should be considered, like beclomethasone and prednisolone.(14) If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be closely monitored for systemic effects. The corticosteroid may need to be discontinued. DISCUSSION: In a study in 24 healthy subjects, inhaled mometasone furoate (400 mcg delivered by a dry powder inhaler twice daily for 9 days) with ketoconazole (200 mg on Days 4 to 9) increased systemic mometasone furoate concentrations from <150 pg/mL on Day 3 prior to coadministration of ketoconazole to a peak plasma concentrations of mometasone furoate >200 pg/mL on Day 9 (211-324 pg/mL).(14) There have been several case reports of Cushing's syndrome in patients treated concurrently with ritonavir and nasal fluticasone and mometasone.(15) A review of corticosteroid use patients on protease inhibitors detailed the interactions that can result in accumulation of corticosteroids, leading to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome.(16) Selected CYP3A4 inhibitors linked to this monograph include: atazanavir, boceprevir, ceritinib, cobicistat, darunavir, fosamprenavir, idelalisib, indinavir, lenacapavir, lonafarnib, lopinavir, mibefradil, nelfinavir, nirmatrelvir, paritaprevir, saquinavir, telaprevir, tipranavir, and tucatinib.(17)	APTIVUS, ATAZANAVIR SULFATE, DARUNAVIR, EVOTAZ, FOSAMPRENAVIR CALCIUM, GENVOYA, KALETRA, LOPINAVIR-RITONAVIR, PAXLOVID, PREZCOBIX, PREZISTA, REYATAZ, STRIBILD, SUNLENCA, SYMTUZA, TUKYSA, TYBOST, VIRACEPT, ZOKINVY, ZYDELIG, ZYKADIA
