Résumé

Sapropterin is a synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin, and its recycling depends on folate-related enzymes. Pyrimethamine inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, which is also involved in pterin metabolism, so sapropterin effect may be reduced. The clinical significance is uncertain.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Pyrimethamine and Sapropterin 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.

Pyrimethamine belongs to Anti Parasitic; Sapropterin belongs to Miscellaneous.

Niveau de preuve: Low

Pourquoi elle survient

Pyrimethamine, a DHFR inhibitor, may impair regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin and so lessen sapropterin effect.

Conduite à tenir

Monitor blood phenylalanine more often when the two are combined, and adjust the sapropterin dose if control worsens.
