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:

Mild peripheral neuropathy has been noted during carboplatin therapy and is characterized most frequently by paresthesias. Patients older than 65 years and/or previously treated with cisplatin appear to be at increased risk for peripheral neuropathy. There was no worsening of cisplatin symptoms in 70% of patients who received carboplatin as secondary treatment. Therapy with carboplatin should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to neuropathy.
