Gatifloxacin Capsules

1. This product can slow down the renal excretion of gatifloxacin when used in combination with probenecid. 2. The bioavailability of gatifloxacin is reduced when ferrous sulfate, aluminum or magnesium antacids and dehydroxyglycosides (didanoxine, huituz) are used in combination with this product. However, taking this product 4 hours before taking ferrous sulfate, dietary supplements containing zinc, magnesium, iron, etc. (such as multivitamins), or aluminum/magnesium antacids or dehydroxyglycosides (didanoxine, huituz) does not affect the pharmacokinetic process of gatifloxacin. 3. No interaction was observed when milk, calcium carbonate, cimetidine, theophylline, warfarin, glyburide or midazolam were taken at the same time with this product. 4. When this product was taken at the same time with digoxin, no significant changes in the pharmacokinetic parameters of gatifloxacin were observed, but the blood concentration of digoxin was found to be increased in some subjects. Therefore, the symptoms and signs of digoxin toxicity should be monitored in patients taking digoxin. For patients who exhibit signs and symptoms of toxicity, digoxin plasma concentrations should be measured and the digoxin dose adjusted appropriately.
