Sintesi
BCG is a live attenuated vaccine. Corticosteroid-induced immunosuppression could permit uncontrolled vaccine strain replication and disseminated BCG infection, and could also impair the vaccine response. Fludrocortisone at replacement doses has limited immunosuppressive effect, but the risk is higher with higher or prolonged dosing.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Bcg vaccine live and Fludrocortisone can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Perché avviene
Corticosteroid-mediated immunosuppression reduces control of live attenuated organisms and blunts immune response.
Cosa fare
Avoid live BCG in patients on immunosuppressive corticosteroid doses; at replacement-only doses for adrenal insufficiency, vaccination may be considered after specialist review. Otherwise defer vaccination until steroid exposure has fallen to a non-immunosuppressive level.
Cosa chiedere al farmacista

- Do I need any blood test, ECG or other check while on both?
