Interactions between your drugs

Major

typhoid vaccine, live proguanil

Applies to: Vivotif (typhoid vaccine, live) and atovaquone / proguanil

Ask your doctor before using typhoid vaccine, live together with proguanil. In some situations, proguanil can decrease the effectiveness of typhoid vaccine, live. Medications containing single agent proguanil should not be administered until at least 10 days after the last dose of typhoid vaccine, live. However, the fixed combination atovaquone-proguanil at doses used for malaria prevention can be given concurrently with typhoid vaccine, live. This vaccine works by exposing you to a small dose of the virus or a protein from the virus, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. This vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

If you receive enteral nutrition (tube feeding), take atovaquone with your feeding. Taking it on an empty stomach may lead to inadequate blood levels and reduced effectiveness of the medication.
