Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbemaciclib Abemaciclib may decrease the excretion rate of Alvocidib which could result in a higher serum level. Adenine The metabolism of Alvocidib can be decreased when combined with Adenine. Afatinib Afatinib may decrease the excretion rate of Alvocidib which could result in a higher serum level. Alectinib Alectinib may decrease the excretion rate of Alvocidib which could result in a higher serum level. Amitriptyline The metabolism of Alvocidib can be decreased when combined with Amitriptyline. Apalutamide Apalutamide may increase the excretion rate of Alvocidib which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Articaine The risk or severity of methemoglobinemia can be increased when Alvocidib is combined with Articaine. Asciminib The metabolism of Alvocidib can be decreased when combined with Asciminib. Atazanavir The metabolism of Alvocidib can be decreased when combined with Atazanavir. Avanafil Avanafil may decrease the excretion rate of Alvocidib which could result in a higher serum level.
