Avelox is an antibiotic used to treat lung, sinus, or skin infections caused by certain germs called bacteria. Avelox kills many of the types of bacteria that can infect the lungs and sinuses and has been shown in a large number of clinical trials to be safe and effective for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Sometimes viruses rather than bacteria may infect the lungs and sinuses (for example the common cold). Avelox, like all other antibiotics, does not kill viruses.

You should contact your doctor if you think your condition is not improving while taking Avelox.

How and when should I take Avelox?
Avelox should be taken once a day for 5-21 days depending on your prescription. It should be swallowed and may be taken with or without food. Try to take the tablet at the same time each day.

You may begin to feel better quickly however, in order to make sure that all bacteria are killed, you should complete the full course of medication. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of Avelox even if you missed a dose by mistake. You should not take a double dose.

Who should not take Avelox?
You should not take Avelox if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any of the group of antibiotics known as quinolones such as ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin. If you develop hives, difficulty breathing, or other symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, seek emergency treatment right away. If you develop a skin rash, you should stop taking Avelox and call your health care professional.

You should avoid Avelox if you have a rare condition known as congenital prolongation of the QT interval. If you or any of your family members have this condition you should inform your health care professional. You should avoid Avelox if you are being treated for heart rhythm disturbances with certain medicines such as quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone or sotalol. Inform your health care professional if you are taking a heart rhythm drug.

You should also avoid Avelox if the amount of potassium in your blood is low. Low potassium can sometimes be caused by medicines called diuretics such as furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide. If you are taking a diuretic medicine you should speak with your health care professional.

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant while taking Avelox, talk to your doctor before taking this medication. Avelox is not recommended for use during pregnancy or nursing, as the effects on the unborn child or nursing infant are unknown.

Avelox is not recommended for children.




What are the possible side effects of Avelox?
Avelox is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects caused by Avelox, which are usually mild, include dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. If diarrhea persists call your health care provider. You should be careful about driving or operating machinery until you are sure Avelox is not causing dizziness. If you notice any side effects not mentioned in this section or you have any concerns about the side effects you are experiencing, please inform your health care professional.

In some people, Avelox, as with some other antibiotics, may produce a small effect on the heart that is seen on an electrocardiogram test. Although this has not caused any serious problems in more than 8,600 patients who have already taken the medication in clinical studies, in theory it could result in extremely rare cases of abnormal heartbeat which may be dangerous. Contact your health care professional if you develop heart palpitations (fast beating), or have fainting spells.

Convulsions have been reported in patients receiving quinolone antibiotics. Be sure to let your physician know if you have a history of convulsions. Quinolones, including Avelox, have been rarely associated with other central nervous system events including confusion, tremors, hallucinations, and depression.

Quinolones, including Avelox, have been rarely associated with inflammation of tendons. If you experience pain, swelling or rupture of a tendon, you should stop taking Avelox and call your health care professional.

What about other medicines I am taking?
Tell your doctor about all other prescription and non-prescription medicines or supplements you are taking. You should avoid taking Avelox with certain medicines used to treat an abnormal heartbeat. These include quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, and sotalol.

Some medicines also produce an effect on the electrocardiogram test, including cisapride, erythromycin, some antidepressants and some antipsychotic drugs. These may increase the risk of heart beat problems when taken with Avelox.

Many antacids and multivitamins may interfere with the absorption of Avelox and may prevent it from working properly. You should take Avelox either 4 hours before or 8 hours after taking these products.

Remember
Take your dose of Avelox once a day.

Complete the course of medication even if you are feeling better.
