Drug Interaction Report

Mesalamine can affect kidney function and may increase the blood levels and effects of flucytosine when used together. You may be more likely to develop serious side effects such as anemia, bleeding problems, and infections. Contact your doctor if you experience potential signs and symptoms of these conditions such as paleness of skin, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, unusual bleeding or bruising, fever, chills, sore throat, body aches, or other flu-like symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. 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.
