Green: Low risk of interaction with palbociclib and ribociclib, SAFE OPTIONS. Orange: Caution should be exercised. Red: High risk of DDIs. Plasmatic concentrations of the CYP3A4 substrate could be increased (or decreased) when used concomitantly with a CYP3A4 inhibitor (or inducer) moderate or strong. NTI: narrow therapeutic index. TdP,Torsades de pointes; gp-P, P-glycoprotein; OATP1B1/3, organic anion transporter polypeptide; BCRP, breast cancer resistance protein.

1

Not classified risk QT. According to the source consulted (www.crediblemeds.org), the evidence available at this time did not result in a decision for it to be placed in any of the four QT risk categories.

2

According to the source consulted (www.crediblemeds.org), the drug is under active review for possible risk of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes.

3

Prasugrel is a pro-drug which is converted to the active metabolite primarily by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.

4

Rivaroxaban is moderate sensitive substrate [98].
