Drug Interactions
There is a higher risk of QT interval prolongation when this drug is taken with class IA (such as quinidine) or class III (such as amiodarone) antiarrhythmic drugs, and with other medications that can also lengthen the QT interval (like erythromycin, tricyclic antidepressants, and antipsychotics). Probenecid can reduce this drug's removal from the body by the kidneys. Absorption of this medicine can decrease if it is taken with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, buffered didanosine, sucralfate, or dietary supplements with metals like zinc, magnesium, or iron. Older adults over 60, especially those also using corticosteroids, have a higher risk of serious tendon problems. This medication may also increase the effects of warfarin, potentially raising prothrombin time, INR, and the risk of bleeding.
Contraindications
Allergy: Do not use in patients who are allergic or hypersensitive to this medicine, or in those who are currently taking class IA or class III antiarrhythmic drugs.
Mode of actions
Gemifloxacin kills bacteria by blocking two important enzymes, topoisomerase II (also called DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are needed for bacteria to copy, repair, and use their DNA. Without them, the bacteria cannot survive.
Dosage & Administration
Adult: PO Acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis 320 mg once daily for 5 days.
Community-acquired pneumonia 320 mg once daily for 7 days.
Renal impairment:
CrCl (ml/min)
