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:

Hepatotoxicity such as elevated bilirubin, transaminase and alkaline phosphatase levels have been reported in over 55% of patients administered aldesleukin. Hepatotoxicity is generally reversible, however, hepatic failure resulting in death has been reported. Therapy with aldesleukin should be administered cautiously in patients with compromised hepatic function. When adverse events occur that require dosage modification, dosages should be withheld rather than reduced. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function is recommended.
