Resumo
Fluoroquinolones carry a risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture, which is increased by concomitant systemic corticosteroids. The risk is greater in older patients, transplant recipients and those on prolonged therapy.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Betamethasone and Ciprofloxacin 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.
Betamethasone belongs to Endocrine; Ciprofloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial.
Por que acontece
Additive tendon toxicity: fluoroquinolones damage tenocytes and collagen while corticosteroids impair tendon healing and matrix synthesis.
