- proguanil
- Zelvysia (sapropterin)
Interactions between your drugs
proguanil sapropterin
Applies to: proguanil, Zelvysia (sapropterin)
MONITOR: Drugs that affect folate metabolism may reduce the efficacy of sapropterin, which is a synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). Folate antagonists can decrease tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) levels by inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteridine reductase.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if sapropterin is used in combination with folate antagonists. The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of sapropterin should be considered.
