Resumo

The intranasal influenza vaccine contains live attenuated virus, which can replicate excessively in a patient immunosuppressed by melphalan. The vaccine response is also reduced.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Influenza virus vaccine quadrivalent intranasal 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.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

Chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression allows unchecked replication of live attenuated virus and impairs the vaccine response.

O que fazer

Use an inactivated injectable influenza vaccine instead during melphalan therapy. Avoid the live intranasal product until at least 3 months after treatment ends.
