Alatrofloxacin IV

In Depth

Generic Name: ALATROFLOXACIN - INJECTION
Pronounced: (uh-lay-troh-FLOX-uh-sin)

Alatrofloxacin IV Uses

This medication is used to treat very serious infections that threaten life or limb.

How To Use Alatrofloxacin IV

After proper dilution, this drug is given slowly by vein (IV) exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by using the medication at the same time each day.

Continue to use this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection. Use of this drug for more than 14 days is not recommended. Consult your doctor.

This medication should not be given together with any solution containing multivalent cations (e.g., magnesium or calcium) in the same IV.

Check visually for any particles or change in color of the solution (it should be colorless or pale yellow).
