Sintesi
Live BCG is a viable bacterium, and an active antibiotic may reduce its viability in the host. Cefoxitin has little expected activity against BCG, so the effect is largely theoretical.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Bcg vaccine live and Cefoxitin 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 could reduce replication of the live attenuated organism, though cephamycin activity against BCG is limited.
Cosa fare
Where timing is flexible, give BCG after the antibiotic course is complete. Do not delay urgent vaccination solely because of cefoxitin.
Cosa chiedere al farmacista
