Drug interactions involving immunologic agents. Part I. Vaccine-vaccine, vaccine-immunoglobulin, and vaccine-drug interactions.
Information about immunologic drug interactions is needed by pharmacists to make rational drug-use decisions. Previously, reports of interactions involving vaccines, immune globulins, and immunodiagnostic reagents were widely dispersed. In this two-part review article, over 50 individual and categorical interactions are described, as are dozens of vaccine-vaccine and vaccine-immunoglobulin, and vaccine-drug interactions are reviewed in this first part. Vigilance by all pharmacists is needed to detect previously unreported immunologic drug interactions and to further assess known interactions.
