It may enhance the immunosuppressive effects when combined with idecabtagene vicleucel
pneumococcal vaccine 13-valentÂ
lomustine diminishes the efficacy of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine through pharmacodynamic antagonism
when thiotepa and lomustine combine, the toxicity of both drugs increases by synergism     
when both the drugs are combined, the risk or severity of adverse effects increases    
when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased risk or severity of adverse effects  
risk of severe infection due to immunosuppressive effects
it may increase the level of serum concentration of memantine
may enhance the immunosuppressive effects of each other
when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased risk or severity of adverse effects
