Sintesi

BCG is a live attenuated vaccine, and in a patient receiving TNF blockade the vaccine organism may replicate without adequate control. This can lead to local or disseminated BCG infection. The vaccine response may also be blunted.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Bcg vaccine live and Etanercept 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.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

TNF inhibition impairs granuloma formation and mycobacterial containment, so the live attenuated organism can proliferate.

Cosa fare

Do not give BCG to patients on etanercept. Complete the vaccination before starting etanercept, ideally at least 4 weeks beforehand, or defer it until the drug has been stopped for an adequate washout period.
