    DOSE IN RENAL IMPAIRMENT <\/H3>

    GFR (mL\/MIN)<\/H4>
  • 20 to 50 &nbsp &nbsp : Dose as in normal renal function
  • 10 to 20 &nbsp &nbsp : Dose as in normal renal function
  • <10 &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp : Unlikely to work

    DOSE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPIES <\/H3>
  • CAPD &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp:Unlikely to be dialysed. Unlikely to work.<\/p>\n

  • HDF\/high flux &nbsp :Unknown dialysability. Unlikely to work
  • CAV\/VVHD &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp:Probably not dialysed. Unlikely to work

    IMPORTANT DRUG INTERACTIONS <\/H3>Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs\n
  • Analgesics: increased risk of nephrotoxicity with NSAIDs; antagonism of diuretic effect\n
  • Anti-arrhythmics: hypokalaemia leads to increased cardiac toxicity; effects of lidocaine and mexiletine antagonised\n
  • Antibacterials: avoid administration with lymecycline\n
  • Antidepressants: increased risk of hypokalaemia with reboxetine; enhanced hypotensive effect with MAOIs; increased risk of postural hypotension with tricyclics\n
  • Anti-epileptics: increased risk of hyponatraemia with carbamazepine\n
  • Antifungals: increased risk of hypokalaemia with amphotericinAntihypertensives: enhanced hypotensive effect; increased risk of first dose hypotension with post-synaptic alpha-blockers like prazosin; hypokalaemia increases risk of ventricular arrhythmias with sotalol\n
  • Antipsychotics: hypokalaemia increases risk of ventricular arrhythmias with amisulpride or sertindole; enhanced hypotensive effect with phenothiazines; hypokalaemia increases risk of ventricular arrhythmias with pimozide \u2013 avoid concomitant use\n
  • Atomoxetine: hypokalaemia increases risk of ventricular arrhythmias\n
  • Cardiac glycosides: increased toxicity if hypokalaemia occurs\n
  • Ciclosporin: increased risk of nephrotoxicity and hypomagnesaemia\n
  • Lithium excretion reduced, increased toxicity

    ADMINISTRATION <\/H3>

    Reconstition<\/H4>\u2013

    Route <\/H4>Oral
