Sintesi

Combining a cephalosporin with an aminoglycoside may raise the risk of kidney injury, and gentamicin itself is nephrotoxic and ototoxic. The additive risk with ceftazidime is modest and mainly relevant in patients with renal impairment, older age or dehydration.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ceftazidime and Gentamicin 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.

Ceftazidime belongs to Anti Bacterial; Gentamicin belongs to Anti Bacterial.

Livello di evidenza: Low

Perché avviene

Possible additive nephrotoxicity, with reduced renal function leading to higher aminoglycoside exposure and greater ototoxic potential.

Cosa fare

Monitor serum creatinine and gentamicin levels and adjust doses to renal function. Keep the patient hydrated and limit the duration of aminoglycoside therapy.
