I don't see this discussed often or maybe I'm just missing them. I was recently prescribed Erleada so I leave a link below specific to that drug. This is the first place I go to when prescribed medicine.

This site is efficient and selecting drugs which are contraindicated, you will note what the impact is if any.

In my case, one med for anxiety, a statin, and a thyroid med are each are impacted by apalutimde. Fortunately for me when I went to see my primary care physician, she had already been in touch with my oncologist and researched different approaches for me in regard to these drugs.

Think of it as Newton's third law of motion for drugs.

I have no affiliation with medscape.
