    Lincomycin (LCN) can cause respiratory issues when combined with d-tubocurarine (DTC). This study in cats found LCN does not worsen neuromuscular blockade from DTC, suggesting careful monitoring is needed for patients on both drugs.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Lincomycin (LCN) has been associated with respiratory insufficiency.
    • d-tubocurarine (DTC) is a neuromuscular blocking agent.
    • The potential interaction between LCN and DTC requires investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the interaction between lincomycin and d-tubocurarine in a feline model.
    • To determine if lincomycin exacerbates neuromuscular blockade induced by d-tubocurarine.

    Main Methods:

    • Cats were anesthetized with halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen.
    • Sciatic nerve stimulation was used to assess neuromuscular function.
    • Dose-response curves for DTC were generated in control and LCN-treated groups.

    Main Results:

    • Lincomycin (10 mg/kg) did not alter the neuromuscular blocking effects of d-tubocurarine.
    • No significant difference was observed in the log-dose response curves for DTC between groups.
    • Cats receiving LCN during recovery from DTC showed no change in the slope or y-intercept.

    Conclusions:

    • Lincomycin does not potentiate the neuromuscular blockade of d-tubocurarine in this feline model.
    • The findings suggest that the respiratory insufficiency observed clinically may be due to other mechanisms.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the exact cause of LCN-induced respiratory issues.
