Sintesi
BCG is a live attenuated bacterial vaccine, and immunosuppression from dexamethasone may allow disseminated BCG infection while reducing vaccine response.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Bcg vaccine live and Dexamethasone are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.
Perché avviene
Corticosteroid immunosuppression impairs control of live attenuated mycobacteria and reduces vaccine immunogenicity.
Cosa fare
Do not give BCG during immunosuppressive dexamethasone therapy; defer until treatment has stopped for the interval recommended by local guidance.
