Drug Interactions (FDA Label)
INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use. If not possible, increase TAGRISSO to 160 mg daily in patients receiving a strong CYP3A4 inducer. ( 2.5 , 7.1 )
7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Osimertinib Strong CYP3A Inducers Co-administering TAGRISSO with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased the exposure of osimertinib compared to administering TAGRISSO alone <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> . Decreased osimertinib exposure may lead to reduced efficacy. Avoid co-administering TAGRISSO with strong CYP3A inducers. Increase the TAGRISSO dosage when co-administering with a strong CYP3A4 inducer if concurrent use is unavoidable <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ]</span> . No dose adjustments are required when TAGRISSO is used with moderate and/or weak CYP3A inducers.
7.2 Effect of Osimertinib on Other Drugs Co-administering TAGRISSO with a breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP) or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate increased the exposure of the substrate compared to administering it alone <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> . Increased BCRP or P-gp substrate exposure may increase the risk of exposure-related toxicity. Monitor for adverse reactions of the BCRP or P-gp substrate, unless otherwise instructed in its approved labeling, when co-administered with TAGRISSO.
7.3 Drugs That Prolong the QTc Interval The effect of co-administering medicinal products known to prolong the QTc interval with TAGRISSO is unknown. When feasible, avoid concomitant administration of drugs known to prolong the QTc interval with known risk of Torsades de pointes. If not feasible to avoid concomitant administration of such drugs, conduct periodic ECG monitoring <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]</span>.

AND PRECAUTIONS
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. For patients receiving TAGRISSO who have not received recent definite platinum-based chemoradiation therapy, permanently discontinue TAGRISSO in patients diagnosed with ILD/Pneumonitis. For patients who received recent definitive platinum-based chemoradiation therapy with Grade 1 ILD/pneumonitis continue TAGRISSO or interrupt and restart, as appropriate. Permanently discontinue TAGRISSO in patients diagnosed with Grade ≥2 ILD/pneumonitis. ( 2.5 , Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- QTc Interval Prolongation: Monitor electrocardiograms and electrolytes in patients who have a history or predisposition for QTc prolongation, or those who are taking medications that are known to prolong the QTc interval. Withhold, then restart at a reduced dose or permanently discontinue TAGRISSO based on severity. ( 2.5 , Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- Cardiomyopathy: Occurred in 3.8% of patients. Conduct cardiac monitoring, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) assessment in patients with cardiac risk factors. ( 2.5 , Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- Keratitis: Promptly refer patients with signs and symptoms of keratitis to an ophthalmologist for evaluation. ( Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- Erythema Multiforme Major, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Withhold TAGRISSO if erythema multiforme major (EMM), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is suspected and permanently discontinue if confirmed. ( 2.5 , Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- Cutaneous Vasculitis: Withhold TAGRISSO if cutaneous vasculitis is suspected, evaluate for systemic involvement, and consider dermatology consultation. If no other etiology can be identified, consider permanent discontinuation based on severity. ( Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- Aplastic Anemia: Withhold TAGRISSO if aplastic anemia is suspected and permanently discontinue TAGRISSO if confirmed. ( 2.5 , Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. )
- Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: TAGRISSO can cause fetal harm. Advise females of potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment with TAGRISSO and for 6 weeks after last dose. Advise males to use effective contraception for 4 months after the last dose of TAGRISSO. ( Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. , 8.1 , 8.3 )
