Consumer:Using rocuronium together with colistimethate can prolong the effects of rocuronium. You should be closely monitored for prolonged breathing cessation and respiratory paralysis after use of colistimethate. You may need special tests to safely 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 CLOSELY: Like other polypeptide antibiotics, colistimethate 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.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be closely monitored for prolonged neuromuscular blockade. Intravenous calcium administration has been reported to be helpful in reversing paralysis caused by polymyxin B in some cases.
