DRUG INTERACTIONS
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase exposure to midostaurin and its active metabolites. Consider alternative therapies that do not strongly inhibit CYP3A4 or monitor for increased risk of adverse reactions. (7.1)
Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use as strong CYP3A4 inducers decrease exposure to midostaurin and its active metabolites. (7.1)

Lactation: Advise females not to breastfeed (8.2)
