Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

gentamicin CISplatin

Applies to: Septopal (gentamicin) and Platinol-AQ (cisplatin)

GENERALLY AVOID: Combining cisplatin and aminoglycosides may increase the risk of renal toxicity. Both cisplatin and aminoglycosides have been reported to cause renal magnesium wasting. The exact mechanism of the interaction is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: In patients currently receiving cisplatin therapy, the use of less nephrotoxic antimicrobials is preferable. If cisplatin and an aminoglycoside must be used together, renal function and serum magnesium should be monitored carefully.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
