Cisatracurium Besylate Phenytoin

Minor

If you have been taking phenytoin for a long time, the muscle relaxation from drugs like cisatracurium has been seen to work less well. This has been shown with the same kind of muscle-relaxing medicines, but nobody knows for sure whether it happens with cisatracurium itself. Still, doctors may expect the muscle relaxation to wear off a little sooner. They may also need to give cisatracurium at a faster drip rate to keep you relaxed during surgery or intensive care. Cisatracurium is given only in hospital by an anaesthetist or ICU team. Tell them if you take phenytoin regularly.

What should I do?

Little or no effect is expected. You usually do not need to change anything, but still tell your doctor or pharmacist about every medicine you take.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?
Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
