      Mechanism Description
  • Additive neuromuscular blocking effects by the combination of Amikacin (liposome) and Neostigmine 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for the efficacy of the anticholinesterase agent is recommended if it is to be used concomitantly with aminoglycosides, particularly in patients with myasthenia gravis. Concomitant use in these patients should be avoided if possible. If coadministration is considered necessary, the dose of the anticholinesterase agent may need to be increased.
