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 thalidomide has been associated with decreased white blood cells counts, including neutropenia. Therapy with thalidomide should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting neutropenia. Treatment should not be initiated if absolute neutrophil count is below 750/mm3. Monitoring white blood cell count and differential routinely is recommended during treatment.
