When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Myocardial damage, including acute left ventricular failure can occur with doxorubicin. The risk of cardiomyopathy is proportional to the cumulative exposure with incidence rates from 1% to 20% for cumulative doses ranging from 300 mg/m2 to 500 mg/m2 when doxorubicin is administered every 3 weeks. The risk of cardiomyopathy is further increased with concomitant cardiotoxic therapy. Additionally, doxorubicin can also cause arrhythmias, including life-threatening events at any point during treatment. Assess LVEF before and regularly during and after treatment with doxorubicin. Doxorubicin is contraindicated in patients with severe myocardial insufficiency and recent myocardial infarction (past 6 months).
