Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: Polymyxin B may prolong apnea and respiratory paralysis after use of neuromuscular blocking agents.

MANAGEMENT: This combination should be avoided unless the benefit outweighs the risk. Patients should be closely monitored for signs of extended neuromuscular blockade.
