Drug Interactions

This product affects the function of the central nervous system. Therefore, interactions may occur when this product is used together with psychotropic drugs (such as anesthetics, analgesics, antiemetics, sedatives, tranquilizers). If this product is co-administered with drugs that are harmful to the kidneys (such as aminoglycosides, analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs), drugs that are toxic to the bone marrow (such as cytotoxic chemotherapy), drugs that are toxic to the heart (such as doxorubicin) or hepatotoxic drugs (such as methotrexate, asparaginase), it will enhance the toxic effects on these organ systems. The safety and efficacy of this product co-administered with any anti-tumor have not been confirmed. In addition, the decline in liver and kidney function caused by the use of this product will delay the clearance of concomitant drugs, thereby increasing the risk of adverse reactions to these drugs. Allergic reactions have been reported when this product is co-administered to patients at high doses in combination with anti-tumor agents, especially anti-tumor agents such as methylthiazide, cisplatin and alpha-interferon. These reactions include erythema, pruritus, and hypotension, and occur within hours of chemotherapy. Some patients may require treatment for these conditions. When alpha-interferon is given to patients, it can increase the incidence of myocardial damage, including myocardial infarction, myocarditis, ventricular hypokinesia, and severe rhabdomyomas. When alpha-interferon is given to patients concurrently with alpha-interferon, patients have been observed to have worsened or developed some autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including crescent-shaped IgA glomerulonephritis, myasthenia gravis, inflammatory arthritis, thyroiditis, and bullous pemphigoid. Although glucocorticoids have been shown to reduce the adverse reactions caused by alpha-interferon, including fever, renal insufficiency, hyperbilirubinemia, and dyspnea, their co-administration with alpha-interferon may reduce the anti-tumor efficacy of alpha-interferon and should be avoided. Beta-blockers and other antihypertensive drugs may cause hypotension when used with alpha-interferon.
