Relevance: 01.10.2023 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 foscarnet together with plazomicin can cause serious side effects to your kidneys. Using these drugs together can also increase your risks of seizures and an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. Call your doctor immediately if you experience nausea, swelling, sudden weight gain or weight loss, severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, seizures, pounding heart beats, dizziness or chest pain. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: The potential nephrotoxicity of foscarnet and aminoglycosides may be additive. Concomitant use of these drugs could also lead to additive hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia, which may increase the foscarnet-related risks of QT prolongation and seizures.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends avoiding concomitant therapy unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Electrolyte levels and renal function of patients receiving these medications concomitantly should be monitored carefully, and dosages adjusted or discontinued if necessary.
