Sintesi

Colistin (polymyxin E) has neuromuscular blocking effects and can markedly potentiate pancuronium. Prolonged paralysis and respiratory arrest are possible, and reversal with anticholinesterases or calcium may be incomplete.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Colistin and Pancuronium 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.

Colistin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Pancuronium belongs to Musculoskeletal.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Additive neuromuscular blockade, as colistin inhibits presynaptic acetylcholine release and has postsynaptic effects.

Cosa fare

Avoid combined use where possible; if needed, reduce pancuronium dose and monitor with train-of-four. Ensure ventilatory support is available, especially in patients with renal impairment.
