Can you take Mezlocillin with Myrac?

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.

The use of extended-spectrum penicillin antibiotics has rarely been associated with coagulation abnormalities manifested as prolonged prothrombin and bleeding times, abnormal platelet aggregation, purpura, and clinical bleeding. These reactions have been most severe and most frequently reported in patients with renal impairment given high dosages of the drugs for prolonged periods, although they have also occurred with usual dosages in patients with normal renal function. Therapy with extended-spectrum penicillins should be administered cautiously in patients with significantly impaired renal function, severe active bleeding, or a hemorrhagic diathesis such as hemophilia, vitamin K deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia, thrombocytopenia, or thrombocytopathy. Clinical monitoring of hematopoietic and renal function is recommended during prolonged and/or high-dose therapy. Bleeding manifestations are reversible upon discontinuation of the antibiotic.

The minocycline in Myrac has a moderate potential interaction with Esophageal Obstruction.

The use of oral tetracycline capsules and tablets has been associated with esophageal irritation and ulceration in patients who ingested the drug without sufficient fluid shortly before bedtime. Therapy with solid formulations of tetracyclines should preferably be avoided in patients with esophageal obstruction, compression or dyskinesia. If the drugs are used, patients should be advised not to take the medication just before retiring and to drink fluids liberally.

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Parenteral mezlocillin sodium contains approximately 43 mg (1.85 mEq) of sodium per each gram of mezlocillin activity. The sodium content should be considered in patients with conditions that may require sodium restriction, such as congestive heart failure, hypertension, and fluid retention. In addition, hypokalemia has been reported rarely during therapy with mezlocillin and other extended-spectrum penicillin antibiotics, which may be particularly important to bear in mind when treating patients with low potassium reserves or fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Clinical monitoring of electrolytes is recommended if these agents are used for prolonged periods.

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with Hemodialysis.

Penicillin antibiotics (except for agents in the penicillinase-resistant class) are removed by hemodialysis. Doses should either be scheduled for administration after dialysis or supplemental doses be given after dialysis.

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Parenteral mezlocillin sodium contains approximately 43 mg (1.85 mEq) of sodium per each gram of mezlocillin activity.

The minocycline in Myrac has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of tetracyclines has rarely been associated with hepatotoxicity. Histologic fatty changes of the liver, elevated liver enzymes, and jaundice have been reported, primarily in patients treated with large doses of intravenous tetracycline hydrochloride (no longer available in the U.S.) but also in patients receiving high oral doses of these drugs. Therapy with tetracyclines should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting liver disease or biliary obstruction. Reduced dosages may be appropriate, particularly with minocycline and doxycycline, since the former is metabolized by the liver and the latter undergoes enterohepatic recycling. Liver function tests are recommended prior to and during therapy, and the concomitant use of other potentially hepatotoxic drugs should be avoided.

Mezlocillin has a major potential interaction with Noninfectious Colitis.

Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), formerly pseudomembranous colitis, has been reported with almost all antibacterial drugs and may range from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. The most common culprits include clindamycin and lincomycin. Antibacterial therapy alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C difficile, whose toxins A and B contribute to CDAD development. Morbidity and mortality are increased with hypertoxin-producing strains of C difficile; these infections can be resistant to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea after antibacterial use. Since CDAD has been reported to occur more than 2 months after antibacterial use, careful medical history is necessary. Therapy with broad-spectrum antibacterials and other agents with significant antibacterial activity should be administered cautiously in patients with history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis; pseudomembranous colitis (generally characterized by severe, persistent diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps, and sometimes associated with the passage of blood and mucus), if it occurs, may be more severe in these patients and may be associated with flares in underlying disease activity. Antibacterial drugs not directed against C difficile may need to be stopped if CDAD is suspected or confirmed. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C difficile, and surgical evaluation should be started as clinically indicated.

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Most beta-lactam antibacterial agents are eliminated by the kidney as unchanged drug and, in some cases, also as metabolites. The serum concentrations of beta-lactam antibacterial agents and their metabolites may be increased, and the half-lives prolonged, in patients with impaired renal function. Neurotoxic reactions (e.g., encephalopathy, aphasia, asterixis, myoclonus, seizures, nonconvulsive status epilepticus, coma) have been reported in such patients treated parenterally with these agents. Dosage adjustments may be necessary, and modifications should be based on the degree of renal dysfunction as well as severity of infection in accordance with the individual manufacturer product information. Renal function tests should be performed periodically during prolonged and/or high-dose therapy since nephrotoxicity and alterations in renal function have occasionally been associated with the use of these drugs.

The minocycline in Myrac has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Tetracyclines (except doxycycline) are eliminated by the kidney to various extent. Patients with renal impairment may be at greater risk for tetracycline-associated hepatic and/or renal toxicity (increased BUN with consequent azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidosis) due to decreased drug clearance. Therapy with tetracyclines should be administered cautiously at reduced dosages in patients with renal impairment. Clinical monitoring of renal and liver function is recommended, and serum tetracycline levels may be necessary during prolonged therapy.

Mezlocillin has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombocytopathy.

The use of extended-spectrum penicillin antibiotics has rarely been associated with coagulation abnormalities manifested as prolonged prothrombin and bleeding times, abnormal platelet aggregation, purpura, and clinical bleeding.
