What are Nephrotoxic Medications?

Some medications can be harmful to the kidneys, especially in patients with pre-existing renal conditions. These include:
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): These can reduce blood flow to the kidneys and exacerbate renal dysfunction.
Aminoglycosides: This class of antibiotics can cause acute kidney injury if not dosed correctly.
Radiographic Contrast Agents: Used in imaging studies, these agents can induce contrast-induced nephropathy.
Certain Chemotherapy Drugs: Medications like cisplatin are known to be nephrotoxic.
