Sintesi

Activated charcoal binds methotrexate in the gut and can interrupt its enterohepatic recirculation, lowering its levels. This reduces the effect of therapeutic doses but is used deliberately in overdose.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Activated charcoal and Methotrexate 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.

Activated charcoal belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Methotrexate belongs to Oncology.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Adsorption of methotrexate in the gastrointestinal tract reduces absorption and enterohepatic reabsorption.

Cosa fare

Separate charcoal from oral methotrexate doses unless it is being given for overdose. In overdose, consider repeated charcoal alongside leucovorin and supportive care.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
