Summary
NSAIDs can reduce renal clearance of aminoglycosides, raising serum levels, an effect documented mainly in preterm neonates. Higher exposure increases the risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
What this interaction means in plain words
Lornoxicam and Tobramycin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Lornoxicam belongs to Musculoskeletal; Tobramycin belongs to Anti Bacterial.
Why it happens
