摘要
Concurrent corticosteroid and fluoroquinolone use increases the risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture, most often of the Achilles tendon. The risk is higher in older patients and with prolonged or high-dose steroid exposure.
用白話說明這項交互作用的意義
Betamethasone and Ofloxacin 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; Ofloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial.
為什麼會發生
Both drug classes impair tendon collagen turnover and tenocyte function, producing additive tendon toxicity.
處置方式
Avoid the combination where possible, especially in patients over 60 or with renal impairment. If used, advise the patient to stop the quinolone and rest at the first sign of tendon pain or swelling.
