Drug Interactions

Chemotherapeutic drugs - Cisplatin does not change the pharmacokinetics of pemetrexed, and pemetrexed has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of all platinum drugs. Vitamins - Concurrent administration of oral folic acid and intramuscular vitamin B12 does not change the pharmacokinetics of pemetrexed. Cytochrome P450 enzymes on drug metabolism - In vitro studies on liver microsomal proteins showed that pemetrexed did not lead to a decrease in the clearance of drugs metabolized by CYP3A enzymes, CYP2D6 enzymes, CYP2C9 enzymes, and CYP1A2 enzymes. No studies have been conducted to observe the effects of pemetrexed on cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. Because, if the recommended dosing schedule (once every 21 days) is followed, pemetrexed has no significant induction effect on any enzyme. Aspirin - Administer low to moderate doses (every 6 hours
