Drug & Food Interactions
Compounds (e.g., sucralfate, antacids and multivitamins) containing divalentand trivalent cations (e.g., iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc) may substantially interfere withthe absorption of quinolones resulting in a decrease in product bioavailability. Therefore, theconcomitant oral administration of quinolones with foods, supplements, or other preparations containingthese compounds should be avoided.The dosage of theophylline should be reduced when used concurrently with quinolones. Cimetidine hasbeen shown to interfere with the metabolism of quinolones and should be used with care when usedconcurrently. Concurrent use of quinolones with oral cyclosporine should be avoided. Concurrentadministration of quinolones may increase the action of oral anticoagulants.
Precautions
Prescribing antibacterial drugs in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection isunlikely to provide benefit to treated animals and may increase the risk of the development of drug resistant animal pathogens.The use of fluoroquinolones in cats has been associated with the development of retinopathy and/orblindness. Such products should be used with caution in cats.Quinolones have been shown to produce erosions of cartilage of weight-bearing joints and other signsof arthropathy in immature animals of various species.The safety of pradofloxacin in immune-compromised cats (i.e., cats infected with feline leukemia virusand/or feline immunodeficiency virus) has not been evaluated.Quinolones should be used with caution in animals with known or suspected central nervous system(CNS) disorders. In such animals, quinolones have, in rare instances, been associated with CNSstimulation that may lead to convulsive seizures.The safety of pradofloxacin in cats younger than 12 weeks of age has not been evaluated.The safety of pradofloxacin in cats that are used for breeding or that are pregnant and/or lactating hasnot been evaluated.
