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:

The use of pyrazinamide is contraindicated in patients with acute gout. Pyrazinamide inhibits the renal excretion of uric acid, which may frequently result in precipitation or exacerbation of gout. Therapy with pyrazinamide should be administered cautiously in patients with hyperuricemia or a history of gout. Serum uric acid levels should be monitored regularly, and appropriate measures (e.g., administration of uricosuric agents) taken to prevent the development of gout. If gouty arthritis occurs, pyrazinamide should be discontinued.
