Can I take Aztreonam with Cytarabine?

Drug Interactions Reversible decreases in steady-state plasma digoxin concentrations and renal glycoside excretion were observed in patients receiving beta-acetyldigoxin and chemotherapy regimens containing cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone with or without cytarabine or procarbazine. Steady-state plasma digitoxin concentrations did not appear to change.

This is general interaction text from the label of a product that contains Cytarabine. It does not mention Aztreonam, so it does not show how Aztreonam and Cytarabine affect each other. The verdict above comes from the GoDavaii interaction dataset. Ask your pharmacist to check both medicines' labels before you combine them.

Questions to ask your pharmacist

• Does Aztreonam change how Cytarabine works, or the other way round?
• Should I take Aztreonam and Cytarabine at different times of day?
• Which side effects should I watch for while taking both?
• Is there a better option if this combination does not suit me?

• Always tell your doctor/pharmacist about ALL medicines you take - prescriptions, OTC, supplements, and herbal products.
• Keep a current medicine list with doses and timings - photo on your phone is enough.
• Read medicine labels for timing (with food / empty stomach) before combining.
• Even 'safe' combinations need monitoring - note any unusual symptoms in the first few days.
• Use GoDavaii AI to double-check before adding any new medicine, supplement, or desi ilaaj.
