Summary
Oral live attenuated cholera vaccine contains a bacterial strain that can be killed by systemic antibiotics. Telavancin may therefore reduce vaccine viability and the immune response, leaving the patient inadequately protected.
What this interaction means in plain words
Cholera vaccine and Telavancin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
Antibacterial activity against the live attenuated vaccine strain reduces its colonization and immunogenicity.
What to do
Do not give the live oral cholera vaccine to patients who have taken antibiotics in the previous 14 days. Defer vaccination until after the antibiotic course is complete.
What to ask your pharmacist

- Does the dose of either medicine need to change?
- Is there anything I should avoid, such as alcohol or certain foods, while on both?
