Sintesi
Live zoster vaccine contains replicating varicella-zoster virus, which may cause disseminated disease in patients on immunosuppressive doses of dexamethasone. The immune response to the vaccine may also be reduced.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Dexamethasone and Zoster vaccine live 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
Glucocorticoid-induced suppression of cell-mediated immunity allows replication of the attenuated virus.
Cosa fare
Do not give live zoster vaccine during high-dose corticosteroid therapy; wait at least 1 month after stopping. Use the recombinant non-live zoster vaccine where available.
