Hepatic Coma

ADULTS: PO 4 g/day in divided doses at regular intervals for 5 to 6 days.

 Interactions

Digoxin: May reduce rate and extent of digoxin absorption; this may be offset by decreased digoxin metabolism. Methotrexate: Decreased absorption of methotrexate. Neuromuscular blockers: Increased action of both depolarizing and nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, may prolong need for respiratory support. Neurotoxic, nephrotoxic, or ototoxic medications (eg, polypeptide antibiotics): Additive adverse effects may occur with concurrent or sequential administration of medications with similar toxic profiles.

 Precautions

Pregnancy: Category D. Lactation: Excreted in breast milk. Muscular disorders: Patients with muscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis or parkinsonism may have worsening of their disease because of potential effect of aminoglycosides on neuromuscular junction. Ototoxicity and renal damage: Inadvertent absorption through ulcerative bowel lesions may be associated with significant hearing and kidney damage. Superinfection: Prolonged or repeated therapy may result in bacterial or fungal overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms and secondary infections.
