Can you take Insulin glulisine with Trovafloxacin?

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Adrenal Insufficiency.

Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Anorexia/Feeding Problems.

Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Autonomic Neuropathy.

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Biliary Obstruction.

Trovafloxacin undergoes metabolism by the liver as well as excretion by the hepatobiliary system. Patients with hepatic impairment or biliary obstruction may be at greater risk for adverse effects from trovafloxacin due to decreased drug clearance. Therapy with trovafloxacin should be administered cautiously in these patients. The manufacturer recommends a dosage reduction in mild to moderate cirrhosis. Periodic assessment of hepatic function is advised, especially during prolonged therapy (>= 21 days), since trovafloxacin can also cause elevations of liver enzymes.

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Central Nervous System Disorders.

Quinolones may cause CNS stimulation manifested as tremors, agitation, restlessness, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, insomnia, toxic psychosis, and/or seizures. Benign intracranial hypertension has also been reported. Therapy with quinolones should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to seizures or other CNS abnormalities. In addition, these patients should be advised to avoid the consumption of caffeine-containing products during therapy with some quinolones, most notably ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, and cinoxacin, since these agents can substantially reduce the clearance of caffeine and other methylxanthines, potentially resulting in severe CNS reactions.

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Hypokalemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin. Use with caution in patients who may be particularly at risk of developing hypokalemia (e.g., patients using potassium-lowering medications, patients taking medications sensitive to serum potassium concentrations).

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Trovafloxacin undergoes metabolism by the liver as well as excretion by the hepatobiliary system. Patients with hepatic impairment or biliary obstruction may be at greater risk for adverse effects from trovafloxacin due to decreased drug clearance. Therapy with trovafloxacin should be administered cautiously in these patients. The manufacturer recommends a dosage reduction in mild to moderate cirrhosis. Periodic assessment of hepatic function is advised, especially during prolonged therapy (>= 21 days), since trovafloxacin can also cause elevations of liver enzymes.

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Insulin requirements may be diminished in patients with renal or hepatic impairment due to reduced insulin metabolism and, in the latter case, also to reduced capacity for gluconeogenesis. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate, with careful monitoring of plasma glucose levels and dosing adjustments.

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Malnourishment.

Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Myasthenia Gravis.

Fluoroquinolones have neuromuscular blocking activity and may exacerbate muscle weakness in persons with myasthenia gravis. Postmarketing serious adverse events, including deaths and requirement for ventilatory support, have been associated with fluoroquinolones use in persons with myasthenia gravis. Fluoroquinolones should be avoided in patients with history of myasthenia gravis.

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Organ Transplant.

Tendonitis and ruptures of the shoulder, hand, and Achilles tendons have been reported in patients receiving quinolones, both during and after treatment. Avoid the use of these agents in patients who have a history of tendon disorders or have experienced tendinitis or tendon rupture. Therapy with quinolones should be administered cautiously in patients with patients with kidney, heart, and lung transplant, since it may delay the recognition or confound the diagnosis of a quinolone-induced musculoskeletal effect. Factors that may independently increase the risk of tendon rupture include strenuous physical activity, renal failure, and previous tendon disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. It is recommended to discontinue these agents if, at any time during therapy, pain, inflammation or rupture of a tendon develops and institute appropriate treatment.

Insulin glulisine has a moderate potential interaction with Panhypopituitarism.

Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Peripheral Neuropathy.

The use of quinolones has been associated with an increased risk of peripheral neuropathy. Monitor closely and discontinue their use in patients experiencing symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. It is recommended to avoid these agents in patients who have previously experienced peripheral neuropathy.

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Tendonitis and ruptures of the shoulder, hand, and Achilles tendons have been reported in patients receiving quinolones, both during and after treatment. Avoid the use of these agents in patients who have a history of tendon disorders or have experienced tendinitis or tendon rupture. Therapy with quinolones should be administered cautiously in patients with patients with kidney, heart, and lung transplant, since it may delay the recognition or confound the diagnosis of a quinolone-induced musculoskeletal effect.
