Sintesi
Intravesical BCG depends on viable mycobacteria to induce a local immune response against bladder cancer. Antibiotics with antimycobacterial activity may reduce BCG viability and therapeutic effect. Rifaximin is minimally absorbed and its systemic exposure is low, so the risk is lower than with systemic antituberculous agents.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Bcg intravesical live and Rifaximin 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
Antibacterial activity may reduce viability of the live BCG organisms, though rifaximin has little systemic exposure.
Cosa fare
Where possible, defer BCG instillations until the antibiotic course is finished. If rifaximin must continue, monitor response to BCG therapy.
Cosa chiedere al farmacista
