Relevance: 08.01.2023 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:

Triamcinolone may alter the effects of doxacurium. In addition, there may be an increased risk of developing muscle disorders if these agents are used together for prolonged periods. Close monitoring is required. 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: Corticosteroids may inhibit or enhance the action of nondepolarizing skeletal muscle relaxants. The mechanism is unknown. In addition, the risk of myopathy may be increased after long-term use of neuromuscular blocking agents and corticosteroids.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be closely monitored for altered neuromuscular blockade and signs of myopathy. Dose adjustments of the muscle relaxant may be required. The benefit-to-risk ratio should be considered and the duration of administration of the neuromuscular blocking agent should be limited as much as clinically feasible.
