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:

Use of telavancin in patients with preexisting moderate/severe renal impairment should be considered only when the anticipated benefit to the patient outweighs the potential risk. Dosage adjustment is required in patients with <=50 mL/min renal impairment. There is insufficient information to make specific dosage adjustment recommendations for patients with end-stage renal disease (CrCl <10 mL/min), including patients receiving hemodialysis. Serum creatinine should be closely monitored and, if renal toxicity is suspected, an alternative agent should be considered.
