Interaction with Medicine
Disease interactions
Myelosuppression is a condition in which there is reduced production of blood cells in your body. In such conditions, 6-MP 50 mg Tablet is not recommended as it may further lower your red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts.
6-MP 50 mg Tablet is eliminated by kidneys and should be used with caution if you have pre-existing kidney problems due to the increased risk of side effects, resulting from the accumulation of this medicine in your body. Your kidney function will be closely monitored and the dose may be adjusted based on your clinical condition.
TPMT deficiency is a condition with reduced levels of the enzyme Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT). This enzyme is required to break down 6-MP 50 mg Tablet and helps in its elimination from your body. Lack of this enzyme results in the accumulation of this medicine and causes severe myelosuppression (low blood cell count). Hence dose adjustments may be required if you have this condition.
6-MP 50 mg Tablet may increase your risk of liver damage. This risk is especially higher if you have pre-existing liver problems. Inform your doctor if you experience any signs and symptoms of liver damage such as jaundice (the whites of your eyes or skin turn yellow), dark urine, etc. Your liver function will be closely monitored through periodic liver function tests while you are taking this medicine.
Caution should be maintained as there is an increased risk of toxicity with 6-MP 50 mg Tablet if there is a mutation in NUDT15 (Nudix Hydrolase 15, a Protein Coding gene). Medical tests would be conducted before initiating 6-MP 50 mg Tablet therapy.
