Interactions between your drugs

Major

sulfaSALAzine potassium aminobenzoate

Applies to: sulfasalazine and potassium aminobenzoate

CONTRAINDICATED: Potassium aminobenzoate may inactivate antibacterial sulfonamides. Sulfonamides are structural analogues and competitive inhibitors of para-aminobenzoic acid, which is required by bacterial folic acid synthesis. Therefore, sufficient concentrations of potassium para-aminobenzoate may antagonize the antibacterial effects of sulfonamides.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer considers concomitant use contraindicated.
