Also increases the likelihood of these adverse reactions, if the patient undergoes radiotherapy, receives sulfa and cytostatic drugs that inhibit the formation of blood and inhibit metabolism liver. Because of the risk of bone marrow suppression activity during therapy need periodic blood tests to detect abnormalities in time.
