Résumé

Echinacea has immunostimulant properties in vitro and could theoretically blunt the T-cell depleting effect of rabbit antithymocyte globulin. This might reduce protection against rejection or graft-versus-host disease. Clinical evidence is lacking.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Antithymocyte globulin rabbit and Echinacea 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.

Niveau de preuve: Low

Pourquoi elle survient

Theoretical pharmacodynamic antagonism between herbal immune stimulation and profound T-cell depletion.

Conduite à tenir

Advise transplant patients to avoid echinacea products during and after antithymocyte globulin therapy. Monitor for signs of rejection if the herb has been used.
