Mafenide topical Disease Interactions

There are 2 disease interactions with mafenide topical.

Moderate

Mafenide topical (applies to mafenide topical) acid/base balance

Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Pulmonary Impairment, Renal Dysfunction

Topically applied mafenide is absorbed and rapidly converted to a metabolite that is eliminated by the kidney. Mafenide and its metabolite inhibit carbonic anhydrase and can induce metabolic acidosis, particularly if drug levels are high or if the compensatory hyperventilation mechanism is impaired. Therapy with mafenide should be administered cautiously in patients with extensive second-degree or partial thickness burns and in patients with pulmonary or renal dysfunction. Acid-base balance should be monitored closely.
