Resumo
BCG vaccine contains live attenuated mycobacteria, which can disseminate in immunosuppressed patients and cause systemic BCG infection. Melphalan-induced immunosuppression increases this risk.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Bcg vaccine live and Melphalan 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.
Por que acontece
Immunosuppression from melphalan impairs control of live attenuated bacteria and reduces the vaccine response.
O que fazer
Do not give BCG vaccine during melphalan therapy or for at least 3 months afterward. Defer vaccination until immune recovery.
O que perguntar ao farmacêutico
- Is there an alternative to one of these two medicines for me?
- If both are essential, who is monitoring me and how often?
- Which symptoms mean I should stop and seek help straight away?
