Sintesi

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Polymyxin b and Rocuronium 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.

Polymyxin b belongs to Anti Bacterial; Rocuronium belongs to Musculoskeletal.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Additive neuromuscular blockade through presynaptic inhibition of acetylcholine release and reduced postsynaptic sensitivity from polymyxin B.
