Serious (sometimes fatal) disturbances of glucose homeostasis (e.g., hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemic coma, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemic coma, seizures, loss of consciousness) reported rarely during postmarketing surveillance.b
In addition to diabetes, risk factors for dysglycemia during gatifloxacin therapy include advanced age, renal insufficiency, and concurrent use of glucose-altering medication (especially oral hypoglycemic agents).b
Closely monitor blood glucose concentrations in patients with risk factors for developing dysglycemia.1 If signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia occur, discontinue gatifloxacin and immediately initiate appropriate therapy.1
Arthropathy and chondrodysplasia in weight-bearing joints of in immature animals reported with fluoroquinolones, including gatifloxacin.1 b Permanent lesions in cartilage reported in immature dogs; clinical relevance to humans unknown.1 Safety and efficacy not established in children and adolescents <18 years of age or in pregnant or lactating women.1
Rupture of the shoulder, hand, Achilles, or other tendons that required surgical repair or resulted in prolonged disability reported in patients receiving fluoroquinolones, including gatifloxacin.b Tendon rupture can occur during or after treatment; tendinitis or tendon rupture may occur more frequently in those receiving corticosteroids, especially geriatric patients.b
Discontinue gatifloxacin if pain, inflammation, or tendon rupture occurs.b Patient should rest and refrain from exercise until the diagnosis of tendinitis or tendon rupture excluded.b
Prolonged QT interval leading to ventricular arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes, reported with some fluoroquinolones, including gatifloxacin.1
QT interval prolongation is dose related; do not exceed recommended dosage or infusion rate.b
Increased torsades de pointes risk with advanced age (>60 years of age), female gender, underlying cardiac disease, and/or concurrent use of multiple medications.b
Avoid use in patients with prolonged QTc interval or uncorrected hypokalemia. Also avoid use in those receiving class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents.b Use with caution in patients receiving drugs that prolong QT interval (e.g., cisapride,17 erythromycin, antipsychotic agents, tricyclic antidepressants) and in patients with ongoing proarrhythmic conditions, such as clinically important bradycardia or acute myocardial ischemia.1
Seizures, increased intracranial pressure, and psychoses reported with fluoroquinolones, including gatifloxacin.1 CNS stimulation leading to tremors, restlessness, lightheadedness, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, nightmares, insomnia, nervousness, agitation, or anxiety also reported.1

If CNS effects occur, discontinue gatifloxacin and institute appropriate measures.1
Sensory or sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy affecting small and/or large axons resulting in paresthesias, hypoesthesias, dysesthesias, and weakness reported with fluoroquinolones.b
Discontinue gatifloxacin if symptoms of neuropathy (e.g., pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness) occur.b
Possible emergence and overgrowth of nonsusceptible bacteria or fungi.1
Consider Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea and colitis (antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis) if diarrhea develops and manage accordingly.1
Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions reported in patients receiving fluoroquinolones.1 These reactions may occur with first dose.1
Some hypersensitivity reactions have been accompanied by cardiovascular collapse, hypotension or shock, seizures, loss of consciousness, tingling, angioedema (e.g., edema or swelling of the tongue, larynx, throat, or face), airway obstruction (e.g., bronchospasm, shortness of breath, acute respiratory distress), urticaria, pruritus, and other severe skin reactions.1
In addition, other possible severe and potentially fatal reactions (may be hypersensitivity reactions or of unknown etiology) have been reported most frequently after multiple doses.1 These include fever, rash or other severe dermatologic reactions (e.g., toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome), vasculitis, arthralgia, myalgia, serum sickness, allergic pneumonitis, interstitial nephritis, acute renal insufficiency or failure, hepatitis, jaundice, acute hepatic necrosis or failure, anemia (including hemolytic and aplastic), thrombocytopenia (including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura), leukopenia, agranulocytosis, pancytopenia, and/or other hematologic effects.1
Discontinue gatifloxacin at first appearance of rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity.1 Institute appropriate therapy as indicated (e.g., epinephrine, corticosteroids, and maintenance of an adequate airway and oxygen).1
Phototoxicity reported with some other quinolones.1 Potential for photosensitivity reaction may be lower with gatifloxacin than with some other fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin).1
Avoid excessive sunlight or artificial UV light (e.g., tanning beds).1
To reduce development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain effectiveness of gatifloxacin and other antibacterials, use only for treatment or prevention of infections proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.b
When selecting or modifying anti-infective therapy, use results of culture and in vitro susceptibility testing.b In the absence of such data, consider local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns when selecting anti-infectives for empiric therapy.b

Advise patients that antibacterials (including gatifloxacin) should only be used to treat bacterial infections and not used to treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold).b
Importance of completing full course of therapy, even if feeling better after a few days.b
Advise patients that skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may decrease effectiveness and increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable with gatifloxacin or other antibacterials in the future.b
Importance of taking gatifloxacin at least 4 hours before multivitamins containing iron, magnesium, or zinc; aluminum- or magnesium-containing antacids; or didanosine chewable/dispersible buffered tablets, buffered powder for oral solution, or pediatric powder for oral solution prepared as an admixture with antacid.1 16
Importance of notifying clinician of persistent or worsening symptoms of infection.1
Potential for gatifloxacin to impair mental alertness or physical coordination; need for caution when operating machinery or driving a motor vehicle until effects of drug on individual are known.1 16
Potential for gatifloxacin to cause other CNS effects, including confusion, tremor, hallucinations, and depression.b
Importance of informing clinician if medical history includes palpitations, convulsions, or fainting spells or if any of these events occur during therapy.1
Importance of discontinuing therapy and of informing clinician if an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction occurs.1
Potential for hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, usually in patients with diabetes or in patients at risk for dysglycemia, but also in those without diabetes.b Importance of monitoring blood sugar concentrations.b Importance of initiating appropriate therapy immediately, discontinuing gatifloxacin, and contacting clinician if symptoms of high or low blood sugar occur.b (See Hypoglyecemia and Hyperglycemia under Cautions.)
Importance of informing clinician of personal or family history of QT interval prolongation or proarrhythmic conditions (e.g., hypokalemia, bradycardia, recent myocardial ischemia).1 b
Importance of discontinuing therapy and consulting clinician if symptoms of peripheral neuropathy (e.g., pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness) develop.b
Advise patients of risk of adverse musculoskeletal effects and importance of discontinuing gatifloxacin, resting, refraining from exercise, and consulting clinician if pain, inflammation, or rupture of a tendon occurs.1
Importance of informing clinician of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs, especially drugs that may affect the QT interval (e.g., cisapride, erythromycin, antipsychotic agents, tricyclic antidepressants), antiarrhythmic agents (e.g., amiodarone, quinidine, procainamide, sotalol), diuretics (e.g., furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), or drugs that may affect blood sugar concentrations.1 b
Importance of women informing clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed.1
Importance of advising patients of other important precautionary information.1 (See Cautions.)
