Praziquantel Disease Interactions
There are 4 disease interactions with praziquantel.
Praziquantel (applies to praziquantel) cysticercosis
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.
Since parasite destruction within the eye can cause irreparable lesions, ocular cysticercosis should not be treated with praziquantel.
Praziquantel (applies to praziquantel) epilepsy
Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Seizures
Praziquantel can exacerbate central nervous system pathology due to schistosomiasis. As a general rule this drug should not be administered in individuals with a history of epilepsy or seizures and any other signs of potential central nervous system involvement such as subcutaneous nodules suggestive of cysticercosis.
Praziquantel (applies to praziquantel) arrhythmias
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.
Patients suffering from cardiac irregularities such as arrhythmias should be monitored during treatment with praziquantel.
Praziquantel (applies to praziquantel) liver impairment
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease
Caution should be exercised when administering praziquantel at the usual recommended doses in patients with moderate to severe liver impairment (Child Pugh class B and C). Reduced metabolism of praziquantel may lead to considerably higher and longer lasting plasma concentrations of the unmetabolized drug.
