Gravità: Controindicata

Measles mumps and rubella vaccine and Methotrexate: contraindicated interaction.

Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Methotrexate suppresses cellular and humoral immunity, so a live attenuated vaccine may produce a weaker antibody response. The vaccine viruses may also replicate unchecked, which raises the risk of disseminated vaccine-strain infection. Low-dose methotrexate carries less risk than high-dose regimens, but live vaccines remain generally avoided.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Measles mumps and rubella vaccine and Methotrexate 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.

Measles mumps and rubella vaccine belongs to Miscellaneous; Methotrexate belongs to Oncology.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Antimetabolite-induced immunosuppression impairs the immune response to live attenuated virus and permits vaccine virus replication.

Cosa fare

Give live vaccines at least 4 weeks before starting methotrexate where possible, and avoid them during treatment. After stopping, wait about 3 months or until immune recovery is confirmed; specialist review is needed for low-dose cases.
