概要

Pyrimethamine inhibits parasitic dihydrofolate reductase, and supplemental folic acid can reduce its antiparasitic effect. For toxoplasmosis this may lead to treatment failure. Folinic acid is usually used instead to protect the marrow without blunting efficacy.

この相互作用をわかりやすく説明すると

Folic acid and Pyrimethamine can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Folic acid belongs to Miscellaneous; Pyrimethamine belongs to Anti Parasitic.

エビデンスレベル: Moderate

なぜ起こるのか

Pharmacodynamic antagonism, as folic acid supplies the folate end-product whose synthesis pyrimethamine blocks.

対処法

Avoid folic acid supplementation during pyrimethamine treatment of toxoplasmosis and give folinic acid (leucovorin) to prevent haematological toxicity. Monitor blood counts.
