GENERALLY AVOID: The combination of a polypeptide antibiotic and an aminoglycoside may increase the risk of neurotoxicity, respiratory paralysis, and renal dysfunction. The mechanism of this interaction is not known, but may involve additive or synergistic effects.

Therapeutic duplication warnings

Therapeutic duplication is the use of more than one medicine from the same drug category or therapeutic class to treat the same condition. This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit. It can also be unintentional in cases where a patient has been treated by more than one doctor, or had prescriptions filled at more than one pharmacy, and can have potentially adverse consequences.
