Sintesi
Fluoroquinolones combined with systemic corticosteroids increase the risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture, especially in older patients. The risk is much lower with topical dexamethasone, but the combination is relevant when systemic steroids are used.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Dexamethasone-tobramycin and Gemifloxacin 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.
