Résumé

Amphotericin B often causes hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, which sensitise the myocardium to digoxin. This can precipitate digoxin toxicity with arrhythmias even at normal serum digoxin levels.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Amphotericin b and Digoxin can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Amphotericin b belongs to Anti Fungals; Digoxin belongs to Cardiovascular.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient
