इन्फ्लिक्सिमैब और मेथोट्रेक्सेट का इंटरैक्शन

Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.

Patients greater than 65 years of age, patients with co-morbid conditions and/or patients taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids or methotrexate may be at greater risk of infection.

When treating patients, consideration of whether to use RENFLEXIS alone or in combination with other immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine should take into account a possibility that there is a higher risk of HSTCL with combination therapy versus an observed increased risk of immunogenicity and hypersensitivity reactions with infliximab…

Methotrexate and Other Concomitant Medications Specific drug interaction studies, including interactions with methotrexate (MTX), have not been conducted.

It is uncertain whether the occurrence of HSTCL is related to TNF blockers or TNF blockers in combination with these other immunosuppressants.
