Consumer:

Using succinylcholine together with capreomycin can prolong the effects of succinylcholine. You should be closely monitored for prolong breathing cessation and respiratory paralysis after use of capreomycin. You may need a dose adjustment or special test if you use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Like other polypeptide antibiotics, capreomycin may prolong apnea and respiratory paralysis after use of neuromuscular blocking agents. The mechanism may be related to decreased intracellular potassium or decreased ionized serum calcium. In some cases, intravenous calcium administration has been reported to be helpful in reversing paralysis caused by polymyxin B.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be closely monitored for signs of excessive and/or extended neuromuscular blockade.
