Dosage adjustment

• Renal or hepatic impairment

Off-label uses

• Borrelia burgdorferi infection

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to drug, erythromycin, or other macrolide anti-infectives

• Concurrent use of astemizole, cisapride, or pimozide

• Cardiac disease

Precautions

Use cautiously in:

• severe renal or hepatic impairment

• pregnant or breastfeeding patients.

Administration

• Obtain specimens for culture and sensitivity testing as appropriate before starting therapy.

• Give with or without food.

See Don't give concurrently with astemizole (no longer available in United States), cisapride, or pimozide.

• Don't refrigerate oral suspension.

Adverse reactions

CNS: headache

CV: ventricular arrhythmias

GI: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain or discomfort, dyspepsia

Other: abnormal taste

Interactions

Drug-drug. Astemizole, cisapride, pimozide: increased risk of arrhythmias and sudden death

Carbamazepine, digoxin, theophylline: increased blood levels of these drugs, greater risk of toxicity

Digoxin: increased digoxin blood level, causing digoxin toxicity

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (such as lovastatin, simvastatin): rhabdomyolysis

Zidovudine: increased or decreased peak zidovudine blood level

Drug-diagnostic tests. Alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen: increased values

Prothrombin time: increased

White blood cells: decreased count

Patient monitoring

• Monitor hepatic enzyme and creatinine levels during long-term therapy.

• Assess cardiovascular status.

Patient teaching

• Advise patient to take drug with full glass of water, either with food or on an empty stomach.

• Tell patient using oral suspension not to refrigerate it, and to discard it 14 days after mixing.

• Tell patient to swallow extended-release tablets whole.

• As appropriate, review all other significant and life-threatening adverse reactions and interactions, especially those related to the drugs and tests mentioned above.
