Eposide Etoposide Cyclosporine
ModerateWhen Etoposide capsules are taken together with a very high dose of Cyclosporine, the body has a harder time clearing Etoposide. In a study, Cyclosporine at blood levels above 2000 ng/ml raised the amount of Etoposide in the body by about 80%. The body cleared Etoposide about 38% less than it does when Etoposide is taken alone. This means more Etoposide stays in the body than expected.
These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.
