Popis: THE COMBINED USE OF AMINOGLYCOSIDES, which are eliminated almost entirely by the kidney, ~ and indomethacin, which tends to impair renal function, z may promote aminoglycoside accumulation and resulting toxicity 3-5 in preterm infants. We recently reported the interaction between indometh~tcin and digoxin in this age group resulting in significan t elevation of digoxin serum concentrations to potentially toxic levels. 6 In the present study, we prospectively assessed the effect of indomethacin on aminoglycoside serum Concentrations when both were given in clinically recommended doses.
