Sintesi

Cholestyramine binds mycophenolic acid and interrupts its enterohepatic recirculation, which lowers exposure. This can reduce immunosuppression and raise the risk of rejection in transplant patients.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Cholestyramine and Mycophenolate 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.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Binding in the gut reduces absorption and enterohepatic recycling of mycophenolic acid.

Cosa fare

Avoid concurrent use where possible; if cholestyramine is needed, consider alternatives. Monitor graft function and mycophenolic acid exposure if used together.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
