Resumo
Live BCG is a viable bacterium, and an active antibiotic may reduce its viability in the host. Cefoxitin has little expected activity against BCG, so the effect is largely theoretical.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Bcg vaccine live and Cefoxitin 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.
Por que acontece
Antibacterial activity could reduce replication of the live attenuated organism, though cephamycin activity against BCG is limited.
O que fazer
Where timing is flexible, give BCG after the antibiotic course is complete. Do not delay urgent vaccination solely because of cefoxitin.
O que perguntar ao farmacêutico
- Should I take them at different times of day?
- Does the dose of either medicine need to change?
- Is there anything I should avoid, such as alcohol or certain foods, while on both?
