Sintesi

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.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

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.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Electrolyte depletion (potassium, magnesium) from amphotericin B increases digoxin cardiac sensitivity.

Cosa fare

Monitor potassium and magnesium frequently and keep them in the normal range with supplements. Check digoxin levels and ECG, and watch for signs of toxicity.
