Sintesi
Both imipenem and cyclosporine can lower the seizure threshold and cause neurotoxicity, and reports describe tremor, confusion and seizures when they are combined. Changes in cyclosporine concentrations have also been reported, though inconsistently.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Cilastatin-imipenem and Cyclosporine 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.
Perché avviene
Additive neurotoxic and proconvulsant effects; any effect on cyclosporine levels is not well established.
Cosa fare
Monitor for tremor, confusion and seizures, and check cyclosporine trough levels during and after imipenem therapy. Consider an alternative antibiotic if neurological symptoms develop.
