Resumo

Colistin (polymyxin E) can cause neuromuscular blockade by itself and may potentiate non-depolarizing relaxants such as cisatracurium. Prolonged paralysis and respiratory failure have been described with polymyxins.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Cisatracurium and Colistin 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.

Cisatracurium belongs to Musculoskeletal; Colistin belongs to Anti Bacterial.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Colistin reduces presynaptic acetylcholine release and stabilizes the postsynaptic membrane, adding to nicotinic receptor blockade by cisatracurium.

O que fazer

Avoid co-administration where possible; if unavoidable, reduce cisatracurium dosing and monitor with train-of-four. Have ventilatory support available, and note that calcium or neostigmine may only partly reverse the effect.
