You may need a dose adjustment or special test 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.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be closely monitored for excessive or prolonged neuromuscular blockade and ventilatory support should be immediately available.
