1. What is Quofenix and what is it used for

Quofenix is an antibiotic that contains the active substance delafloxacin. It belongs to a group of medicines called fluoroquinolones.

It is used for the treatment in adults of severe and short-term infections caused by certain bacteria, when usual antibiotics cannot be used or have not worked:

  • infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
  • lung infection called "pneumonia"

It blocks the enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA. By blocking these enzymes, Quofenix kills the bacteria that cause the infection.

2. What you need to know before you take Quofenix

Do not take Quofenix

  • If you are allergic to delafloxacin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are allergic to any other antibacterial medicine of the fluoroquinolone or quinolone type.
  • If you have ever had a tendon problem, such as tendinitis, related to treatment with "quinolone-type antibiotics". A tendon is the cord that connects the muscle to the skeleton.
  • If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant.
  • If you are breast-feeding
  • If you are a child or adolescent under 18 years of age.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking this medicine

Do not take fluoroquinolone or quinolone-type antibacterial medicines, including Quofenix, if you have experienced any serious side effect in the past when taking a quinolone or fluoroquinolone. In this case, inform your doctor as soon as possible.

When taking this medicine

  • Rarely, pain and swelling in the joints, and inflammation or rupture of the tendons may occur. Your risk increases if you are an elderly patient (over 60 years of age), have received an organ transplant, have kidney problems, or are being treated with corticosteroids. Tendon inflammation and ruptures can occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even up to several months after stopping treatment with Quofenix. At the first sign of pain or inflammation of a tendon (e.g., in the ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), stop taking Quofenix, contact your doctor, and rest the affected area. Avoid any unnecessary exercise, as this could increase the risk of tendon rupture.
  • Rarely, symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy) such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness, especially in the feet and legs or hands and arms, may occur. If this happens, stop taking Quofenix and inform your doctor immediately to prevent the development of a potentially irreversible condition.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist or nurse before taking Quofenix if:

  • You have been diagnosed with an enlargement or bulge of a large blood vessel (aortic or peripheral large vessel aneurysm).
  • You have had a tear in the wall of the aorta (the main blood vessel of the heart) known as an aortic dissection.
  • You have been diagnosed with a heart valve problem (heart valve regurgitation).
  • If you have a family history of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection, congenital heart valve disease, or other risk factors or predisposing conditions (e.g., connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos vascular syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune inflammatory disease), or vascular disorders such as Takayasu arteritis or giant cell arteritis, Behçet's disease, arterial hypertension, or atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis (a joint disease), or endocarditis (a heart infection)).
  • If you have had tendon problems during previous treatment with a fluoroquinolone or quinolone-type antibiotic.
  • If you have or may have problems with your central nervous system (e.g., severe cerebral arteriosclerosis, epilepsy) or have other risk factors that may increase the risk of having seizures (fits). In these cases, your doctor will consider whether this treatment is the best option for you.
  • If you suffer from myasthenia gravis (a type of muscle weakness), as symptoms may worsen.
  • If you suffer from diarrhea or have previously suffered from diarrhea when taking antibiotics or up to 2 months after. Contact your doctor immediately if you have diarrhea during or after treatment. Do not take any medicine to treat diarrhea without first consulting your doctor.
  • If you have kidney problems.
  • If you have sometimes had prolonged treatment with antibiotics; this may mean that you contract another infection caused by other bacteria (superinfection) that cannot be treated with the antibiotic. Consult your doctor if you have any doubts or questions about this and about the use of Quofenix.
  • If you may have a severe skin reaction, such as blisters or lesions.
  • If you or a family member has a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
  • If you suffer from diabetes. Fluoroquinolone-type antibiotics, including Quofenix, may cause blood glucose levels to increase or decrease too much. If you have diabetes, you must carefully monitor your blood glucose levels.

If you feel a sudden, severe pain in your abdomen, chest, or back, which may be symptoms of aortic dissection or aneurysm, go immediately to an emergency department. The risk may increase if you are receiving systemic corticosteroid treatment.

If you start to experience sudden onset of shortness of breath, especially when lying down, or if you notice swelling in your ankles, feet, or abdomen, or the appearance of heart palpitations (feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat), you must inform your doctor immediately.

Severe, prolonged, disabling, and potentially irreversible side effects

Fluoroquinolone/quinolone-type antibacterial medicines have been associated with very rare but serious side effects, some of which are long-lasting (for months or years), disabling, or potentially irreversible. This includes pain in the tendons, muscles, and joints of the upper and lower limbs, difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as tingling, prickling, numbness, or burning (paresthesia), sensory disorders such as impaired vision, taste, and smell, and hearing, depression, memory impairment, severe fatigue, and severe sleep disorders.

If you experience any of these side effects after taking Quofenix, contact your doctor immediately before continuing treatment. You and your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment, also considering an antibiotic of another class.
