Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Amphotericin b and Fludrocortisone 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.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient

Additive renal potassium loss from mineralocorticoid receptor stimulation and amphotericin B-induced distal tubular leak.
