Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
---|---|
Misc Antibiotics/Neuromuscular Blocking Agents SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Aminoglycosides, bacitracin, clindamycin, lincomycin, and polymyxins may enhance the pharmacologic effects of neuromuscular blocking agents. CLINICAL EFFECTS: May see an increase in the pharmacologic effects of neuromuscular blocking agents, including prolonged respiratory depression and apnea. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If it is necessary to administer these drugs concurrently, do so with extreme caution. Monitor neuromuscular function and adjust the dose of the neuromuscular blocking agent accordingly. DISCUSSION: Concomitant administration of aminoglycosides, bacitracin, clindamycin, lincomycin, and polymixins with neuromuscular blocking agents has been shown to produce synergism of the effects on skeletal muscles. Concurrent administration of these drugs has been associated with prolonged respiratory depression, respiratory paralysis, and fatal apnea. The interaction usually occurs when the antibiotic is given prior to or concurrently with the neuromuscular blocking drug, but it may also occur when given after administration. Any antibiotic dosage or route of administration may produce respiratory depression. |

General Anesthetics (Inhl)/Neuromuscular Blocking Agents SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: General anesthetics enhance the pharmacologic effects of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. CLINICAL EFFECTS: May see an increase in the neuromuscular blocking effects of the nondepolarizing muscle relaxant including respiratory depression, bradycardia, hypotension, flushing, or muscle weakness. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: It may be necessary to decrease the dose of the nondepolarizing muscle relaxant. Monitor neuromuscular function and adjust the dose of the nondepolarizing muscle relaxant accordingly. DISCUSSION: Concomitant administration of general anesthetics and nondepolarizing muscle relaxants has been shown to produce synergistic neuromuscular blocking effects of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. |

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents/Quinine Derivatives SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Synergistic or additive pharmacologic activity. CLINICAL EFFECTS: May see an increase in the neuromuscular blocking effects, including profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and/or death. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid concurrent administration of neuromuscular blocking agents and quinine derivatives during the first several hours of postoperative period. If administered, respiratory support may be needed. If concurrent use is necessary, monitor patients for unusual dizziness or lightheadedness, extreme sleepiness, slowed or difficult breathing, or unresponsiveness. DISCUSSION: Administration of quinidine during the immediate postoperative period has been associated with respiratory paralysis and apnea. |

There are 3 moderate interactions.
The clinician should assess the patient’s characteristics and take action as needed. Actions required for moderate interactions include, but are not limited to, discontinuing one or both agents, adjusting dosage, altering administration.
Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
---|---|
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents/Polypeptide Antibiotics SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Synergistic pharmacologic activity. Polymyxin B affects neuromuscular transmission by blocking acetylcholine receptors. Its action is thus post-synaptic and the neuromuscular block has no antagonists. Polymyxin B causes neostigmine resistance to d-tubocurarine blockade and calcium resistance to the blockade evoked by aminoglycoside antibiotics (1,2,3,4). A pre-synaptic mechanism may also be involved with decreased release of acetylcholine. CLINICAL EFFECTS: May see an increase in the neuromuscular blocking effects, including profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and/or death. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If it is necessary to administer these drugs concurrently, do so with extreme caution. Monitor neuromuscular function and adjust the dose of the neuromuscular blocking agent accordingly. If concurrent use is necessary, monitor patients for unusual dizziness or lightheadedness, extreme sleepiness, slowed or difficult breathing, or unresponsiveness. DISCUSSION: Concomitant administration of polypeptide antibiotics and neuromuscular blocking agents has been shown to produce synergism of the effects on skeletal muscles. Concurrent administration of these drugs has been associated with prolonged respiratory depression, respiratory paralysis, and apnea. This interaction has been documented with colistimethate, polymyxin B, bacitracin, and vancomycin. |

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents/Lincosamides SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Lincosamides appear to augment the neuromuscular blocking effects of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. CLINICAL EFFECTS: The effects of nondepolarizing neuromuscular relaxants may be prolonged leading to profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and/or death. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Monitor respiratory function of the patient and provide the necessary support. In patients who have received nondepolarizing muscle relaxants, avoid use of lincosamides in the recovery room. If concurrent use is necessary, monitor patients for unusual dizziness or lightheadedness, extreme sleepiness, slowed or difficult breathing, or unresponsiveness. DISCUSSION: Lincomycin has been reported to augment the neuromuscular blocking effect of pancuronium in seven anesthetized patients. The effect was readily antagonized by neostigmine administration. In a case report, clindamycin produced prolonged neuromuscular blockade in a patient who had received pancuronium. Neostigmine was ineffective in antagonizing the blockade. |

Hydantoins/Select Neuromuscular Blocking Agents SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: It has been suggested that phenytoin increases end-plate anticholinesterase activity, resulting in higher acetylcholine concentration at the neuromuscular junction.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: A higher plasma concentration of the neuromuscular blocking agent was required to effect a given level of neuromuscular blockade in patients receiving phenytoin.(2,3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving hydantoin anticonvulsants should be monitored for a decreased response to the neuromuscular blocking agent. The dose of the neuromuscular blocking agent may need to be increased and/or given more frequently.(9) DISCUSSION: In a study, patients receiving phenytoin were administered metocurine, attained 83% of maximum neuromuscular blockade compared with 98% in the control group.(1) In another study, patients maintained on phenytoin for more than one week had a significantly higher pancuronium requirement than those patients not receiving phenytoin.(1) In two separate case reports, patients maintained on phenytoin demonstrated a resistance to pancuronium and a decreased duration of neuromuscular blockade.(3,4) In a study, patients maintained on phenytoin and receiving vecuronium had a significantly shorter total duration and effect of neuromuscular blockade compared to those patients not receiving phenytoin.(5) In contrast, neither the effect nor duration of atracurium's neuromuscular blockade was affected by phenytoin.(5) Two in vitro studies showed that the neuromuscular blockade of curare and tubocurarine was potentiated by the use of phenytoin.(6,7) Ten children received a bolus dose of vecuronium 0.15mg/Kg while on phenytoin and showed a significantly increased clearance of vecuronium compared to the control group, 15.1 and 9.0 ml/Kg/min, respectively.(8) In a case report, a 58 year-old male previously stabilized on phenytoin (400 mg daily) was given an injection of vecuronium (8 mg) to induce muscle blockade during bowel surgery. While monitoring the effectiveness of vecuronium only 75% twitch height blockade was noted after seven minutes. The medication, due to its short duration and impaired effectiveness, had to be given more frequently throughout the surgery in order to maintain adequate muscle block.(9) A separate case report records a decreased response to pancuronium in a 15 year-old male, previously stabilized on phenytoin (350 mg daily), while undergoing surgery to remove a parietal tumor. Pancuronium (0.7 mg/kg) was given as a relaxant during the surgery and monitored using the train-of-four method. Intermittent doses of pancuronium (0.17 mg/kg) were given for the first hour of surgery without successful blockade apparent by the return of all four twitches within ten minutes of each dose. A second attempt at muscular blockade was made with continuous infusion atracurium (0.26-0.55 mg/kg/hour) for the duration of the surgery. Only 16 minutes after stopping the infusion, all four twitches were visible.(10) |

There are no available data on daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, intramuscular administration of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm during pregnancy resulted in adverse effects on fetal growth (decreased fetal body weight and skeletal ossification) at maternally toxic doses approximately equivalent to 40 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
Embryofetal development studies were conducted in rats and rabbits with daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm. For comparison of animal to human doses based on a body weight comparison, the MRHD is set at 40 units/subject (0.67 units/kg for an average 60 kg subject). Intramuscular administration of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm (3, 10 or 30 units/kg) to pregnant rats four times during the period of organogenesis (on gestation days 7, 10, 13, and 16) caused decreased fetal body weight and decreased fetal skeletal ossification at the highest dose, which was associated with maternal toxicity.
No embryofetal developmental toxicity was noted at doses up to 10 units/kg which is 15 times the MRHD. Intramuscular administration of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm (0.02, 0.1, 0.48 or 2.4 units/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (total of 13 doses) resulted in maternal lethality at 2.4 units/kg/day and significant decreased maternal body weight at 0.48
units/kg/day. No embryofetal developmental toxicity was noted at doses up to 0.48 units/kg/day which is approximately equivalent to the MRHD.

There are no data on the presence of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or underlying maternal condition.
Among the 406 subjects treated with daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm in the placebo-controlled clinical trials, 36 subjects were 65 years or older. There was no increase in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events in patients over 65 years treated with daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm. Clinical studies of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and older to determine whether they responded differently from younger subjects.
