Medical - Medical: Instruments / user manual
Italian term or phrase: grandi combinazioni
I am translating a user manual for a laser device and in the contraindications came across this:

"Assunzione di Chinidina, qualsiasi farmaco anti-psicotici o grandi combinazioni di farmaci cardiaci / diuretici, o creme steroidee topiche nella zona da trattare."

Could you please help me with the translation of the expression "grandi combinazioni" in this context? Thank you.
