New Contraindications

DBL Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection (dexamethasone phosphate (as sodium)) is now also contraindicated in nonfungal systemic infections unless specific anti-infective therapy is given.

Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) should not be coadministered with elbasvir/grazoprevir.

Coadministration of Videx (didanosine) with stavudine is now contraindicated due to the potential for serious and/or life threatening events notably lactic acidosis, liver function abnormalities, pancreatitis and peripheral neuropathy.

This list is a summary of only some of the changes that have occurred over the last month. Before prescribing, always refer to the full product information.
