Hi,
My wife was recently diagnosed and is being treated with neo-adjuvant therapy (AC/T). At the first treatment, the pharmacy flagged her treatment due to interaction with the Tegretol epileptic medication she takes. They switched her from Adriamycin (Doxorubicin) to Ellence (Epirubicin).
They haven't mentioned anything regarding interaction with premeds or with nausea meds, and my wife seems to be handling those medications ok. It may boil down to the particular seizure medications being taken.
They did provide a pamphlet that they had printed out from Chemocare.com, and I was able to find more information about the interaction using pdr.com (for example, here is the link for Tegretol XR:
https://www.pdr.net/drug-summary/Tegretol-Tegretol-XR-carbamazepine-2485 and quite a ways down you can see the interaction with Doxorubicin). It may help to review the interactions for the medications in question and see if they have interactions with the proposed treatment. it may be worth noting that there are multiple names for many of the chemo drugs (as with most I suppose) :-).
Hope that helps,
Jess
