Always check for known allergies to fluoroquinolones before administration. Patients with a history of tendonitis or tendon rupture should be closely monitored. Renal and hepatic function should be assessed, as dosage adjustments may be necessary based on these parameters.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Serious, though less frequent, adverse events include Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea and central nervous system effects. Promptly report any unusual symptoms to the prescribing physician.
