Sintesi
BCG is a live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis, and isoniazid is active against mycobacteria, so it can reduce the viability and effect of intravesical BCG. This can lower the efficacy of bladder cancer immunotherapy.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Bacillus calmette-guerin substrain tice and Isoniazid 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.
Bacillus calmette-guerin substrain tice belongs to Oncology; Isoniazid belongs to Anti Bacterial.
Perché avviene
Antimycobacterial activity of isoniazid against the live BCG organisms reduces their viability and therefore immunotherapeutic activity.
Cosa fare
Avoid giving antituberculosis drugs during intravesical BCG therapy unless needed to treat BCG infection. Use alternative non-antimycobacterial agents for local irritative symptoms.
Cosa chiedere al farmacista
