Sintesi

Cholestyramine binds mycophenolic acid and interrupts its enterohepatic recirculation, substantially lowering exposure. This may cause loss of immunosuppressive effect and graft rejection.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Cholestyramine and Mycophenolic acid 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.

Cholestyramine belongs to Cardiovascular; Mycophenolic acid belongs to Miscellaneous.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Bile acid sequestrant binds mycophenolate glucuronide and MPA in the gut, preventing reabsorption.
