Report stool frequency (can promote Clostridiodies difficile infection)
- Fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin, Delafloxacin, Lovofloxacin) ‘xacin
Precautions / Contraindications
Previous allergic reaction to Fluoroquinolones
Certain disorders that predispose to arrhythmias (eg, QT-interval prolongation, uncorrected
hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, significant bradycardia)
Use of drugs known to prolong the QT interval or to cause bradycardia (eg, metoclopramide,
cisapride, erythromycin, clarithromycin, classes Ia and III antiarrhythmics, tricyclic
antidepressants)
High Risk Patients
arthritis or problems with your tendons, bones or joints (especially in children);
diabetes, low blood sugar;
nerve problems;
an aneurysm or blood circulation problems;
heart problems, or a heart attack;
muscle weakness, myasthenia gravis;
liver or kidney disease;
a seizure, head injury, or brain tumor;
trouble swallowing pills;
long QT syndrome (in you or a family member); or
low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalemia).
Do not give this medicine to a child without medical advice.
Use of glycopeptides and lipoglycopeptides during pregnancy is not recommended, but
sometimes the benefits of treatment may outweigh the risks. For example, vancomycin taken by
mouth may be used to treat C. difficile–induced diarrhea in pregnant women
Patients with history of antibiotic associated diarrhea must be cautious about using Vancomycin.
Discuss with your doctor regarding your history of the same.
Patients with history of opportunistic infections must be cautious about using Vancomycin.
Discuss with your doctor regarding your history of the same.
Patients with history of diminished hearing and ototoxicity are at increased risk for hearing loss
with Vancomycin. Discuss with your doctor regarding safety with Vancomycin use.
Vancomycin is not metabolized and is excreted unchanged in the urine. Individuals with
compromised renal functions tend to retain the drug in the circulation longer, thus resulting in
toxicity. Vancomycin should be avoided or used with extreme caution in such individuals.
Individuals with history of seizures and hallucinations can present with exacerbation of these
symptoms with Vancomycin. Vancomycin should be avoided or used with extreme caution in
individuals with seizure history.
Vancomycin should be avoided or used cautiously in individuals with history of cardiac
arrhythmias, as it has the potential to induce life-threatening cardiac arrest. Individuals with
history of chronic disturbance in serum magnesium and potassium ions are at increased risk for
arrhythmias. Also, individuals taking Lasix are at increased risk for losing potassium, thus setting
the ground for life-threatening arrhythmias with Vancomycin.
Vancomycin intake can increase the risk for skin rash, ranging from mild to severe exfoliating
rash, easy bleeding, bruising, and blister formation. Individuals with history of extreme skin
rashes and taking Vancomycin should be aware of this response and observe a close watch on
the same.

Telavancin has a boxed warning highlighting the increased mortality in patients with preexisting
kidney dysfunction (creatinine clearance 50 mL/min or less).
- Macrolides (Erythromycin and azithromycin) ‘mycin
Concomitant administration of macrolides with astemizole, cisapride, pimozide, or
terfenadine is contraindicated because potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias (eg, QT
prolongation, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes) may
occur when clarithromycin or erythromycin is given with these drugs.
High Risk Patients
liver disease;
kidney disease;
myasthenia gravis;
a heart rhythm disorder;
low levels of potassium in your blood; or
long QT syndrome (in you or a family member).
Aztreonam for injection should be halved in patients with estimated creatinine
clearances between 10 and 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 after an initial loading dose of 1 or 2 g.
Doses should be adjusted in older adults with renal dysfunction
Renal impairment can cause penicillins to accumulate to toxic levels. Monitor function in
patients with renal disease.
