- Delafloxacin may cause rare but severe, disabling, and potentially permanent adverse reactions involving tendons, nerves, and the central nervous system. Discontinue immediately if symptoms occur. Avoid use in patients with a history of such reactions to
- fluoroquinolones and monitor vulnerable individuals closely throughout treatment duration.
Fluoroquinolones, including Delafloxacin, can cause tendinitis and tendon rupture, especially in older adults, transplant recipients, and corticosteroid users. Symptoms may occur within hours or months after therapy. Stop treatment at the first tendon pain, avoid exertion, and initiate alternative antibiotics to protect overall musculoskeletal health. - Delafloxacin can lead to sensory or motor nerve damage, causing tingling, burning, numbness, or weakness. These symptoms may arise rapidly and become permanent. Discontinue treatment immediately when neuropathy signs appear and choose an alternative therapy. Early recognition is essential to prevent lasting disability or serious nerve injury.
- Use of this medicine may cause serious CNS effects, including tremors, seizures, hallucinations, anxiety, depression, or confusion. These reactions can occur even after the final dose. Stop treatment if such symptoms develop, and exercise caution in those with CNS disorders, including epilepsy or psychiatric history.
- Delafloxacin may be responsible for worsening muscle weakness in those with myasthenia gravis, potentially causing life-threatening respiratory complications. Do not use it in individuals with a prior history of myasthenia gravis. In case no alternatives exist, monitor closely for worsening weakness and breathing complications and stop treatment immediately upon symptom progression.
- Life-threatening allergic reactions, including angioedema, anaphylaxis, and severe dermatologic reactions, may occur with Delafloxacin treatment. Symptoms may arise after the first dose. Stop immediately in case hypersensitivity arises and avoid re-exposure. Provide emergency management when required and properly monitor patients with prior antibiotic allergies.
- Delafloxacin treatment may increase the risk of aortic aneurysm or dissection, particularly in elderly patients or those with vascular disease. Use it cautiously in these individuals. Educate patients about sudden abdominal, chest, or back pain and stop treatment quickly in case such symptoms occur.
- Use of this drug without a confirmed bacterial infection may promote growth of drug-resistant organisms. Use only when clearly required and based on culture results when possible. Inappropriate use diminishes antibiotic effectiveness, complicates future treatments, and increases the risk of resistant infections across both community and healthcare settings.
- This medicine is recommended during pregnancy because of potential risks to fetal musculoskeletal development. Prescribe only if benefits outweigh risks and no safer alternatives exist. Counsel those who are pregnant about possible side effects and monitor appropriately if exposure is unavoidable during critical treatment situations.
