Résumé
Dapsone and pyrimethamine are used together for toxoplasmosis and malaria prophylaxis, but both can cause hematologic toxicity. Pyrimethamine is an antifolate that can cause bone marrow suppression, and dapsone can cause hemolysis and methemoglobinemia. The combination increases the risk of anemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Dapsone and Pyrimethamine 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.
Dapsone belongs to Anti Bacterial; Pyrimethamine belongs to Anti Parasitic.
Pourquoi elle survient
Additive hematologic toxicity: antifolate marrow suppression from pyrimethamine plus oxidative hemolysis from dapsone.
Conduite à tenir
