Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Chloramphenicol may inhibit the hepatic metabolism of cyclophosphamide. Since cyclophosphamide requires hepatic metabolism to be active (it is a prodrug with active metabolites), activation may be delayed or decreased and half-life may be increased. The effectiveness of cyclophosphamide could be decreased, although the clinical significance of the interaction is unclear. Monitoring of cyclophosphamide effectiveness during coadministration is recommended.
