When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Capreomycin is potentially ototoxic, both to vestibular and to auditory functions. The risk is greatest in patients receiving large doses for prolonged periods of time. Its use in patients with preexisting auditory impairment must be undertaken with great caution, and the risk of additional cranial nerve VIII impairment should be weighed against the benefits to be derived from therapy. Audiometric measurements and assessment of vestibular function should be performed prior to initiation of therapy with at regular intervals during treatment.
