Moderate

tobramycin telbivudine

Applies to: TOBI Podhaler (tobramycin), telbivudine

MONITOR: Because telbivudine is primarily eliminated by renal excretion, coadministration with drugs that affect renal function may alter the plasma concentrations of telbivudine and/or the coadministered drug.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if telbivudine is prescribed in combination with potentially nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides; polypeptide, glycopeptide, and polymyxin antibiotics; amphotericin B; adefovir; cidofovir; tenofovir; foscarnet; cisplatin; deferasirox; gallium nitrate; lithium; mesalamine; certain immunosuppressants; intravenous bisphosphonates; intravenous pentamidine; high intravenous dosages of methotrexate; high dosages and/or chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents). Renal function should be evaluated prior to and during therapy with telbivudine. Adjustment of dosing interval is required in patients with renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min) at baseline or during treatment in accordance with the manufacturer's product labeling.
