Resumo
Cholestyramine binds mycophenolic acid and interrupts its enterohepatic recirculation, which lowers exposure. This can reduce immunosuppression and raise the risk of rejection in transplant patients.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Cholestyramine and Mycophenolate can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Por que acontece
Binding in the gut reduces absorption and enterohepatic recycling of mycophenolic acid.
