Moderate

succinylcholine capreomycin

Applies to: Anectine Flo-Pack (succinylcholine) and capreomycin

MONITOR: Like other polypeptide antibiotics, capreomycin may prolong apnea and respiratory paralysis after use of neuromuscular blocking agents. The mechanism may be related to decreased intracellular potassium or decreased ionized serum calcium. In some cases, intravenous calcium administration has been reported to be helpful in reversing paralysis caused by polymyxin B.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be closely monitored for signs of excessive and/or extended neuromuscular blockade.
