Proguanil Disease Interactions
There are 2 disease interactions with proguanil.
Proguanil (applies to proguanil) severe renal impairment
Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Renal Dysfunction
Atovaquone and Proguanil tablets are contraindicated for prophylaxis of P. falciparum malaria in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) because of pancytopenia in patients with severe renal impairment treated with proguanil. Use with caution for the treatment of malaria in patients with severe renal impairment, only if the benefits of the 3-day treatment regimen outweigh the potential risks associated with increased drug exposure. No dosage adjustments are needed in patients with mild (creatinine clearance 50 to 80 mL/min) or moderate (creatinine clearance 30 to 50 mL/min) renal impairment.
Proguanil (applies to proguanil) hepatic impairment
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease
No proguanil dosage adjustments are needed in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, however, no trials have been conducted in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Caution is advised, as elevated liver laboratory tests and cases of hepatitis and hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation have been reported with prophylactic use of atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride tablets.
