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:

Hematologic toxicities have been associated with the use of oxazolidinedione anticonvulsants. Fatal aplastic anemia, hypoplastic anemia, pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia, retinal and petechial hemorrhages, vaginal bleeding, epistaxis, and bleeding gums have been reported. Therapy with oxazolidinediones should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients with preexisting blood dyscrasias and/or bone marrow depression. Complete blood counts, including platelets, should be performed in all patients prior to initiating therapy and at monthly intervals, or as often as necessary, thereafter. A moderate degree of neutropenia, with or without a corresponding drop in the leukocyte count, is not uncommon and does not necessitate the discontinuation of therapy. However, more frequent monitoring is recommended if neutrophil count is less than 3000/mm3. Marked depression of blood counts (e.g., neutrophil count < 2500/mm3) is indication for withdrawal of oxazolidinedione therapy. Therapy with oxazolidinediones should ordinarily not be used in patients with severe blood dyscrasias.
