Contraindications
|
Known hypersensitivity to vancomycin.
|
Precautions
|
Use with caution in patients with renal impairment or those receiving other nephrotoxic, neurotoxic or ototoxic drugs.
|
Drug Interactions
|
Neurotoxic and nephrotoxic drugs – concurrent use of these agents may contribute to the additive neurotoxic and nephrotoxic effects.
Diuretics – potent diuretics (e.g. furosemide [frusemide]) may add to the ototoxic effect.
Neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g. pancuronium, suxamethonium, vecuronium) – vancomycin may enhance neuromuscular blockade.
Vancomycin may be combined with an aminoglycoside, cephalosporin or rifampicin for synergistic activity.
