Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aminoglycosides and tetracyclines can enhance the neuromuscular-blocking activity of neuromuscular-blocking agents, potentially leading to respiratory paralysis. Therefore, it is important to monitor these patients closely and adjust doses accordingly. Deep sedation, decreased effectiveness of antibiotics, and sensitivity/allergic reactions are not typical drug interactions observed with these medications.
