Interactions with other medicines

• Aceclofenac (an important painkiller) can decrease the excretion of Pyrazinamide that can lead to toxicity.
• Abacavir (antiviral medicine used for the treatment of AIDS) taken along with Pyrazinamide may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir, resulting in a higher serum level and consequent toxicity.
• Paracetamol (important medicine for relieving fever and pain) may decrease the excretion of Pyrazinamide, leading to its toxic levels in the blood.

Interactions with food items
