Wine and Teclistamab-cqyv

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Major

HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Teclistamab-cqyv

Teclistamab-cqyv falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Wine interacts with.

Concomitant use of alcohol with hepatotoxic drugs may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Concomitant use of excessive amounts of alcohol with potentially hepatotoxic drugs can increase the risk of liver damage.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence C

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version: Teclistamab (Tecvayli) is a powerful antibody treatment for multiple myeloma, and it can be hard on your liver. Doctors watch your liver enzymes during treatment for exactly this reason. Wine adds alcohol, which is also processed by the liver and can stress it. Putting the two together may raise your chances of liver irritation or damage, with signs like unusual tiredness, nausea, belly pain on the upper right side, or yellowing of your skin or eyes.

This concern grows with heavier or regular drinking, not so much an occasional small glass, but everyone's situation differs. Please don't change anything on your own. Talk with your oncology team or pharmacist about whether any alcohol is safe for you while on this medication.

About Wine

What is Wine?

  • Social and relaxation use
  • Heart health (popular belief)
  • Antioxidant intake
  • Aiding digestion (traditional use)
  • Culinary flavoring

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes and is not a true dietary supplement or medicine. Despite popular claims about heart benefits, the alcohol it contains carries real health risks, and no amount of drinking can be recommended to improve health. If you drink, do so in moderation, and avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy or if you have certain medical conditions.
