magnesium amino acids chelate trovafloxacin

Applies to: magnesium amino acids chelate and trovafloxacin

Trovafloxacin and magnesium amino acids chelate should not be taken orally at the same time. Products that contain magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, and/or other minerals may interfere with the absorption of trovafloxacin into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. If possible, it may be best to avoid taking magnesium amino acids chelate while you are being treated with trovafloxacin. Otherwise, trovafloxacin should be taken 2 to 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after a magnesium amino acids chelate dose, trovafloxacin should be taken at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium/potassium/sodium sulfates), or trovafloxacin and magnesium amino acids chelate should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are unsure whether your medications contain something that could potentially interact or if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Disease interactions

9 potential interactions Applies to: 9 conditions, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Peripheral Neuropathy, Myasthenia Gravis, Tendonitis, and Liver Disease.

Biliary Obstruction

Major:

trovafloxacin

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.

Central Nervous System Disorders

Major:

trovafloxacin

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.

Liver Disease

Major:

trovafloxacin

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.

Myasthenia Gravis

Major:

trovafloxacin

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.

Organ Transplant

Major:

trovafloxacin

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.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Major:

trovafloxacin

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.

Renal Dysfunction

Major:

trovafloxacin

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. 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.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Major:

trovafloxacin

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

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.

Tendonitis

Major:

trovafloxacin

Trovafloxacin has a major potential interaction with Tendonitis.

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.
