Vecuronium Bromide + Thiopental⛔Contraindicated

Reconstituted vecuronium should not be mixed with thiopental in the same syringe or administered simultaneously through the same needle or intravenous line due to incompatibility.

Vecuronium Bromide + Bacitracin⚠️Major

Bacitracin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Colistimethate Sodium⚠️Major

Sodium colistimethate may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Colistin⚠️Major

Colistin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Dihydrostreptomycin⚠️Major

Dihydrostreptomycin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Enflurane⚠️Major

Enflurane enhances vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. Potentiation is most prominent with enflurane use.

Vecuronium Bromide + Gallamine⚠️Major

Gallamine and vecuronium may manifest additive neuromuscular blocking effects when used together due to similar mechanism of action.

Vecuronium Bromide + Gentamicin⚠️Major

Gentamicin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Halothane⚠️Major

Halothane enhances vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade when used concurrently.

Vecuronium Bromide + Isoflurane⚠️Major

Isoflurane enhances vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. Potentiation is most prominent with isoflurane use.

Vecuronium Bromide + Kanamycin⚠️Major

Kanamycin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Metocurine⚠️Major

Metocurine and vecuronium may manifest additive neuromuscular blocking effects when used together due to similar mechanism of action.

Vecuronium Bromide + Neomycin⚠️Major

Neomycin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Pancuronium⚠️Major

Pancuronium and vecuronium may manifest additive neuromuscular blocking effects when used together due to similar mechanism of action.

Vecuronium Bromide + Polymyxins⚠️Major

Polymyxin B may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Quinidine⚠️Major

Quinidine administration during recovery from vecuronium may cause recurrent paralysis.

Vecuronium Bromide + Streptomycin⚠️Major

Streptomycin may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on its own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Succinylcholine⚠️Major

Prior administration of succinylcholine enhances the neuromuscular blocking effect of vecuronium and prolongs its duration of action. Vecuronium administration should be delayed until succinylcholine effect wears off.

Vecuronium Bromide + Tetracycline⚠️Major

Tetracyclines may intensify or produce neuromuscular block on their own and can cause unexpected prolongation of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.

Vecuronium Bromide + Tubocurarine⚠️Major

D-tubocurarine and vecuronium may manifest additive neuromuscular blocking effects when used together due to similar mechanism of action.
