Contra Indications
Documented hypersensitivity to delafloxacin or its components or other fluoroquinolones
Precautions
Fluoroquinolones are associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions from different body systems, including tendinitis, tendon rupture, arthralgia, myalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and CNS effects (eg, hallucinations, anxiety, depression, insomnia, severe headaches, confusion)
Risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture in all ages; the Achilles tendon is most frequently involved, but rupture has also been reported with the rotator cuff, hand, biceps, thumb, and other tendons
Fluoroquinolones are associated with increased risk of peripheral neuropathy; sensory or sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy affecting small and/or large axons resulting in paresthesias, hypoesthesias, dysesthesias, and weakness reported (see Black Box Warnings)
Increased risk of CNS reactions (eg, convulsions and increased intracranial pressure [including pseudotumor cerebri]; toxic psychosis); may also cause CNS reactions of nervousness, agitation, insomnia, anxiety, nightmares, paranoia, dizziness, confusion, tremors, hallucinations, depression, and suicidal thoughts or acts
Fluoroquinolones elicit neuromuscular blocking activity and may exacerbate muscle weakness with myasthenia gravis
Serious and occasional fatal hypersensitivity reactions (including after first dose) reported
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) reported with use of nearly all systemic antibiotics
Prescribing an antibiotic in the absence of proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection is unlikely to provide benefit and increases risk developing drug-resistant bacteria
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
Data are limited regarding use in pregnant women and are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriages
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
Excreted in the breast milk of rats
Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug, and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition
Interactions
Fluoroquinolones form chelates with alkaline earth and transition metal cations
Delafloxacin PO administration with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, with sucralfate, with metal cations (eg, iron), or with multivitamins containing iron or zinc, or with formulations containing divalent and trivalent cations (eg, didanosine buffered tablets for oral suspension or the pediatric powder for oral solution), may substantially interfere with the absorption and decrease systemic exposure
