Cinobac Patient, Information, Instructions - Cinoxacin
PATIENT INFORMATION
Patients should be advised that cinoxacin may be taken with or without meals.
Patients should drink fluids liberally. Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum,
as well as sucralfate, metal cations such as iron, and multivitamin preparations
with zinc or VIDEX (didanosine) chewable/buffered tablets or the pediatric powder
for oral solution may interfere with the gastrointestinal absorption of cinoxacin.
These agents should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after cinoxacin
administration.
Patients should be advised to avoid excessive sunlight during cinoxacin
therapy. If phototoxicity occurs, cinoxacin therapy should be discontinued.
Cinoxacin may be associated with hypersensitivity reactions following
even a single dose. The drug should be discontinued at the first sign
of skin rash or allergic reaction.
Cinoxacin can cause dizziness and light-headedness; therefore, patients should
know how they react to the drug before operating an automobile or machinery
or engaging in an activity requiring mental alertness or coordination.
Patients should be advised that convulsions have been reported in patients
taking quinolones, including cinoxacin acid, and to notify their physician before
taking this drug if there is a history of this condition.
Patients should be advised that cinoxacin may increase the effects of
theophylline and caffeine. There is a possibility of caffeine accumulation
when products containing caffeine are consumed during cinoxacin therapy.
