Sintesi
Live vaccinia vaccine can cause progressive vaccinia and generalized infection in immunosuppressed people. Mercaptopurine increases this risk and reduces the protective response.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Mercaptopurine and Smallpox 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
Immunosuppression from a purine antimetabolite permits uncontrolled replication of vaccinia virus and impairs immune response.
Cosa fare
Avoid live smallpox vaccine in patients on mercaptopurine except in a true exposure emergency under specialist guidance. A non-replicating alternative should be considered where available.
