There synergies antibacterial action when combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics. Aminoglycosides increase the risk of kidney damage. Pharmaceutical incompatible with aminoglycosides (mutual inactivation).

PM, block tubular secretion, slows down, increase the concentration in blood and increase the risk of toxic reactions.

Dosing and Administration.

/ M, I / (drip or stream). The dosage regimen and duration of treatment are determined individually taking into account the indications, severity of infection, susceptibility. Average daily intake for adults is 1-4, 2011 (The maximum daily dose - 6 g), the frequency is 2-3 times a day (up to 3-4 times / day). To prevent postoperative infectious complications-in/ 1 g for 0.5-1 hours prior to surgery, 0,5-1 G during operation, 0.5-1 g every 8 h during the first day after surgery.
