Résumé

Griseofulvin induces hepatic enzymes and can lower hormonal contraceptive exposure, which matters because thalidomide is a potent teratogen requiring highly reliable contraception. The interaction is with the contraceptive rather than with thalidomide itself.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Griseofulvin and Thalidomide can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Griseofulvin belongs to Anti Fungals; Thalidomide belongs to Miscellaneous.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient

Enzyme induction by griseofulvin accelerates contraceptive hormone metabolism, reducing contraceptive efficacy.

Conduite à tenir

In women of childbearing potential, do not rely on hormonal contraception alone during and for a period after griseofulvin; use an additional barrier method or a non-hormonal highly effective method such as an IUD.
