Resumo
Live zoster vaccine relies on replication of the attenuated varicella zoster virus to produce an immune response. Antivirals active against this virus can suppress replication and may reduce vaccine effectiveness.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Famciclovir and Zoster vaccine live 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
Famciclovir's active metabolite penciclovir inhibits viral DNA polymerase and may suppress replication of the live attenuated vaccine virus.
O que fazer
