Sintesi

Intravesical BCG is a live attenuated mycobacterium that must remain viable to act. Systemic antibiotics, particularly those with antimycobacterial activity, may reduce its effect. Imipenem has limited mycobacterial activity, but BCG labeling advises postponing unnecessary antimicrobials.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Bcg intravesical live and Cilastatin-imipenem 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.

Perché avviene
