When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Treatment with ifosfamide may cause myelosuppression and significant suppression of immune responses, which can lead to severe or fatal infections. Patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggesting bone marrow suppression such as fever, sore throat, local infection, or bleeding. Complete blood counts should be obtained prior to administration of each dose and unless clinically essential, ifosfamide should be withheld if white blood cell counts falls below 1,500 to 2,000/mm3 and/or platelet counts falls below 50,000/mm3. Ifosfamide should be given cautiously, if at all, to patients with presence of an infection, severe immunosuppression or compromised bone marrow reserve, as indicated by leukopenia, granulocytopenia, extensive bone marrow metastases, prior radiation therapy, or prior therapy with other cytotoxic agents.
