Colistin, hydrocortisone, neomycin, and thonzonium otic and Nimbex

Determining the interaction of Colistin, hydrocortisone, neomycin, and thonzonium otic and Nimbex and the possibility of their joint administration.

Check result:
Colistin, hydrocortisone, neomycin, and thonzonium otic <> Nimbex
Relevance: 03.10.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Using cisatracurium together with neomycin topical may increase the effects of cisatracurium. You should be closely monitored for prolong breathing cessation and respiratory paralysis after use of neomycin topical. 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: Aminoglycosides possess neuromuscular blocking activity, which may be additive with that of depolarizing and nondepolarizing muscle relaxants, potentially resulting in severe and/or prolonged respiratory depression during concomitant use. Aminoglycosides inhibit the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions by interfering with calcium influx. They also appear to decrease the sensitivity of postsynaptic membrane to acetylcholine. The interaction has been observed with various routes of aminoglycoside administration including oral, intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, esophageal, intraluminal, intradural, and beneath skin flaps. Respiratory paralysis and fatalities have been reported. Patients at increased risk include those with renal impairment and/or hypocalcemia.

MANAGEMENT: Topically applied aminoglycosides may be systemically absorbed, and significant absorption could occur in certain circumstances (e.g., application to burnt or broken skin; use of large quantities or on large areas for prolonged periods). Clinicians should be aware of the potential for interaction if neuromuscular blockers are used in patients who have been treated extensively with topical aminoglycosides. Vital signs should be closely monitored, and ventilatory support should be readily available in case of respiratory arrest. Treatment with anticholinesterases and calcium may not always be effective in reversing the neuromuscular blockade caused by these agents.
