Résumé

Cephaloridine is itself markedly nephrotoxic and was withdrawn from use for that reason. Combined with tobramycin, the risk of tubular necrosis and kidney failure is substantially increased, and ototoxicity from the aminoglycoside may become more likely as renal clearance falls.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Cephaloridine and Tobramycin 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 proximal tubular toxicity, with reduced renal clearance of tobramycin raising its exposure.

Conduite à tenir

Avoid the combination; cephaloridine is obsolete and a safer cephalosporin should be chosen. If it cannot be avoided, monitor creatinine and tobramycin levels closely.
