5 1.11 Acute Sinusitis CIPRO IV is indicated in adult patients fr treatment f acute sinusitis caused by Haemphilus influenzae, Streptcccus pneumniae, r Mraxella catarrhalis. Because flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, have been assciated with serius adverse reactins [see Warnings and Precautins ( )] and fr sme patients acute sinusitis is self-limiting, reserve CIPRO fr treatment f acute sinusitis in patients wh have n alternative treatment ptins Usage T reduce the develpment f drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness f CIPRO IV and ther antibacterial drugs, CIPRO IV shuld be used nly t treat r prevent infectins that are prven r strngly suspected t be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility infrmatin are available, they shuld be cnsidered in selecting r mdifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence f such data, lcal epidemilgy and susceptibility patterns may cntribute t the empiric selectin f therapy. If anaerbic rganisms are suspected f cntributing t the infectin, apprpriate therapy shuld be administered. Apprpriate culture and susceptibility tests shuld be perfrmed befre treatment in rder t islate and identify rganisms causing infectin and t determine their susceptibility t ciprflxacin. Therapy with CIPRO IV may be initiated befre results f these tests are knwn; nce results becme available apprpriate therapy shuld be cntinued. As with ther drugs, sme islates f Pseudmnas aeruginsa may develp resistance fairly rapidly during treatment with ciprflxacin. Culture and susceptibility testing perfrmed peridically during therapy will prvide infrmatin nt nly n the therapeutic effect f the antimicrbial agent but als n the pssible emergence f bacterial resistance. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION CIPRO IV shuld be administered intravenusly at dsages described in the apprpriate Dsage Guidelines tables. 2.1 Dsage in Adults The determinatin f dsage and duratin fr any particular patient must take int cnsideratin the severity and nature f the infectin, the susceptibility f the causative micrrganism, the integrity f the patient s hst-defense mechanisms, and the status f renal and hepatic functin.

Begin drug administratin as sn as pssible after suspected r cnfirmed expsure t Y. pestis. 2.3 Dsage Mdificatins in Patients with Renal Impairment Ciprflxacin is eliminated primarily by renal excretin; hwever, the drug is als metablized and partially cleared thrugh the biliary system f the liver and thrugh the intestine. These alternative pathways f drug eliminatin appear t cmpensate fr the reduced renal excretin in patients with renal impairment. Nnetheless, sme mdificatin f dsage is recmmended, particularly fr patients with severe renal dysfunctin. Dsage guidelines fr use in patients with renal impairment are shwn in Table 4.

Cmmnly seen adverse reactins include tendinitis, tendn rupture, arthralgia, myalgia, peripheral neurpathy, and central nervus system effects (hallucinatins, anxiety, depressin, insmnia, severe headaches, and cnfusin). These reactins can ccur within hurs t weeks after starting CIPRO IV. Patients f any age r withut pre-existing risk factrs have experienced these adverse reactins [see Warnings and Precautins (5.2, 5.3, 5.4)]. Discntinue CIPRO IV immediately at the first signs r symptms f any serius adverse reactin.

8 5.2 Tendinitis and Tendn Rupture Flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, have been assciated with an increased risk f tendinitis and tendn rupture in all ages [see Warnings and Precautins (5.1) and Adverse Reactins (6.2)]. This adverse reactin mst frequently invlves the Achilles tendn, and has als been reprted with the rtatr cuff (the shulder), the hand, the biceps, the thumb, and ther tendns. Tendinitis r tendn rupture can ccur, within hurs r days f starting CIPRO IV, r as lng as several mnths after cmpletin f flurquinlne therapy. Tendinitis and tendn rupture can ccur bilaterally. The risk f develping flurquinlne-assciated tendinitis and tendn rupture is increased in patients ver 60 years f age, in patients taking crticsterid drugs, and in patients with kidney, heart r lung transplants. Other factrs, that may independently increase the risk f tendn rupture include strenuus physical activity, renal failure, and previus tendn disrders such as rheumatid arthritis. Tendinitis and tendn rupture have als ccurred in patients taking flurquinlnes wh d nt have the abve risk factrs. Discntinue CIPRO IV immediately if the patient experiences pain, swelling, inflammatin r rupture f a tendn. Avid flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, in patients wh have a histry f tendn disrders r have experienced tendinitis r tendn rupture [see Adverse Reactins (6.2)]. 5.3 Peripheral Neurpathy Flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, have been assciated with an increased risk f peripheral neurpathy. Cases f sensry r sensrimtr axnal plyneurpathy affecting small and/r large axns resulting in paresthesias, hypesthesias, dysesthesias and weakness have been reprted in patients receiving flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV. Symptms may ccur sn after initiatin f CIPRO IV and may be irreversible in sme patients [see Warnings and Precautins (5.1) and Adverse Reactins (6.1, 6.2)]. Discntinue CIPRO IV immediately if the patient experiences symptms f peripheral neurpathy including pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/r weakness, r ther alteratins in sensatins including light tuch, pain, temperature, psitin sense and vibratry sensatin, and/r mtr strength in rder t minimize the develpment f an irreversible cnditin. Avid flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, in patients wh have previusly experienced peripheral neurpathy [see Adverse Reactins (6.1, 6.2).] 5.4 Central Nervus System Effects Flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, have been assciated with an increased risk f central nervus system (CNS) effects, including cnvulsins, increased intracranial pressure (including pseudtumr cerebri), and txic psychsis CIPRO IV may als cause central nervus system (CNS) events including: nervusness, agitatin, insmnia, anxiety, nightmares, parania, dizziness, cnfusin, tremrs, hallucinatins, depressin, and, psychtic reactins have prgressed t suicidal ideatins/thughts and self-injurius behavir such as attempted r cmpleted suicide. These reactins may ccur fllwing the first dse. Advise patients receiving CIPRO IV t infrm their healthcare prvider immediately if these reactins ccur, discntinue the drug, and institute apprpriate care. CIPRO IV, like ther flurquinlnes, is knwn t trigger seizures r lwer the seizure threshld. As with all flurquinlnes, use CIPRO IV with cautin in epileptic patients and patients with knwn r suspected CNS disrders that may predispse t seizures r lwer the seizure threshld (fr example, severe cerebral arterisclersis, previus histry f cnvulsin, reduced cerebral bld flw, altered brain structure, r strke), r in the presence f ther risk factrs that may predispse t seizures r lwer the seizure threshld (fr example, certain drug therapy, renal dysfunctin). Use CIPRO IV when the benefits f treatment exceed the risks, since these patients are endangered because f pssible undesirable CNS side effects. Cases f status epilepticus have been reprted. If seizures ccur, discntinue CIPRO IV [see Adverse Reactins (6.1) and Drug Interactins (7)]. 5.5 Exacerbatin f Myasthenia Gravis Flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, have neurmuscular blcking activity and may exacerbate muscle weakness in patients with myasthenia gravis.

Sme reactins were accmpanied by cardivascular cllapse, lss f cnsciusness, tingling, pharyngeal r facial edema, dyspnea, urticaria, and itching. Only a few patients had a histry f hypersensitivity reactins. Serius anaphylactic reactins require immediate emergency treatment with epinephrine and ther resuscitatin measures, including xygen, intravenus fluids, intravenus antihistamines, crticsterids, pressr amines, and airway management, including intubatin, as indicated [see Adverse Reactins (6.1)]. 5.8 Hepattxicity Cases f severe hepattxicity, including hepatic necrsis, life-threatening hepatic failure, and fatal events, have been reprted with CIPRO IV. Acute liver injury is rapid in nset (range 1 39 days), and is ften assciated with hypersensitivity. The pattern f injury can be hepatcellular, chlestatic r mixed. Mst patients with fatal utcmes were lder than 55 years ld. In the event f any signs and symptms f hepatitis (such as anrexia, jaundice, dark urine, pruritus, r tender abdmen), discntinue treatment immediately. There can be a temprary increase in transaminases, alkaline phsphatase, r chlestatic jaundice, especially in patients with previus liver damage, wh are treated with CIPRO IV [see Adverse Reactins (6.2, 6.3)]. 5.9 Serius Adverse Reactins with Cncmitant Thephylline Serius and fatal reactins have been reprted in patients receiving cncurrent administratin f Intravenus CIPRO and thephylline. These reactins have included cardiac arrest, seizure, status epilepticus, and respiratry failure. Instances f nausea, vmiting, tremr, irritability, r palpitatin have als ccurred. Althugh similar serius adverse reactins have been reprted in patients receiving thephylline alne, the pssibility that these reactins may be ptentiated by CIPRO cannt be eliminated. If cncmitant use cannt be avided, mnitr serum levels f thephylline and adjust dsage as apprpriate [see Drug Interactins (7)] Clstridium difficile-assciated Diarrhea Clstridium difficile (C. difficile)-assciated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reprted with use f nearly all antibacterial agents, including CIPRO IV, and may range in severity frm mild diarrhea t fatal clitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the nrmal flra f the cln leading t vergrwth f C. difficile. C. difficile prduces txins A and B which cntribute t the develpment f CDAD. Hypertxin prducing islates f C. difficile cause increased mrbidity and mrtality, as these infectins can be refractry t antimicrbial therapy and may require clectmy. CDAD must be cnsidered in all patients wh present with diarrhea fllwing antibacterial use. NDA CIPRO IV FDA Apprved 26 Jul 2017

10 Careful medical histry is necessary since CDAD has been reprted t ccur ver tw mnths after the administratin f antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected r cnfirmed, nging antibacterial use nt directed against C. difficile may need t be discntinued. Apprpriate fluid and electrlyte management, prtein supplementatin, antibacterial treatment f C. difficile, and institute surgical evaluatin as clinically indicated [see Adverse Reactins (6.1)] Prlngatin f the QT Interval Sme flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV, have been assciated with prlngatin f the QT interval n the electrcardigram and cases f arrhythmia. Cases f trsade de pintes have been reprted during pstmarketing surveillance in patients receiving flurquinlnes, including CIPRO IV. Avid CIPRO IV in patients with knwn prlngatin f the QT interval, risk factrs fr QT prlngatin r trsade de pintes (fr example, cngenital lng QT syndrme, uncrrected electrlyte imbalance, such as hypkalemia r hypmagnesemia and cardiac disease, such as heart failure, mycardial infarctin, r bradycardia), and patients receiving Class IA antiarrhythmic agents (quinidine, prcainamide), r Class III antiarrhythmic agents (amidarne, stall), tricyclic antidepressants, macrlides, and antipsychtics. Elderly patients may als be mre susceptible t drug-assciated effects n the QT interval [see Adverse Reactins (6.2) and Use in Specific Ppulatins (8.5)] Musculskeletal Disrders in Pediatric Patients and Arthrpathic Effects in Animals CIPRO IV is indicated in pediatric patients (less than 18 years f age) nly fr cuti, preventin f inhalatinal anthrax (pst expsure), and plague [see Indicatins and Usage (1.10, 1.6, 1.7)]. An increased incidence f adverse reactins cmpared t cntrls, including reactins related t jints and/r surrunding tissues, has been bserved [see Adverse Reactins (6.1)]. In pre-clinical studies, ral administratin f CIPRO IV caused lameness in immature dgs. Histpathlgical examinatin f the weight-bearing jints f these dgs revealed permanent lesins f the cartilage. Related quinlneclass drugs als prduce ersins f cartilage f weight-bearing jints and ther signs f arthrpathy in immature animals f varius species[see Use in Specific Ppulatins (8.4) and Nnclinical Txiclgy (13.2)] Phtsensitivity/Phttxicity Mderate t severe phtsensitivity/phttxicity reactins, the latter f which may manifest as exaggerated sunburn reactins (fr example, burning, erythema, exudatin, vesicles, blistering, edema) invlving areas expsed t light (typically the face, V area f the neck, extensr surfaces f the frearms, drsa f the hands), can be assciated with the use f quinlnes, including CIPRO IV, after sun r UV light expsure. Therefre, avid excessive expsure t these surces f light. Discntinue CIPRO IV if phttxicity ccurs[see Adverse Reactins (6.1).] 5.14 Develpment f Drug Resistant Bacteria Prescribing CIPRO IV in the absence f a prven r strngly suspected bacterial infectin r a prphylactic indicatin is unlikely t prvide benefit t the patient and increases the risk f the develpment f drug-resistant bacteria Ptential Risks with Cncmitant Use f Drugs Metablized by Cytchrme P450 1A2 Enzymes Ciprflxacin is an inhibitr f the hepatic CYP1A2 enzyme pathway. C-administratin f CIPRO IV and ther drugs primarily metablized by CYP1A2 (fr example, thephylline, methylxanthines, caffeine, tizanidine, rpinirle, clzapine, lanzapine, and zlpidem) results in increased plasma cncentratins f the c-administered drug and culd lead t clinically significant pharmacdynamic adverse reactins f the c-administered drug [see Drug Interactins (7) and Clinical Pharmaclgy (12.3)] Crystalluria Crystals f ciprflxacin have been bserved rarely in the urine f human subjects but mre frequently in the urine f labratry animals, which is usually alkaline [see Nnclinical Txiclgy (13.2)]. Crystalluria related t ciprflxacin has been reprted nly rarely in humans because human urine is usually acidic. Avid alkalinity f the urine in patients NDA CIPRO IV FDA Apprved 26 Jul 2017

Hydrate patients well t prevent the frmatin f highly cncentrated urine [see Dsage and Administratin (2.4)] Peridic Assessment f Organ System Functins As with any ptent drug, peridic assessment f rgan system functins, including renal, hepatic, and hematpietic functin, is advisable during prlnged therapy. 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The fllwing serius and therwise imprtant adverse drug reactins are discussed in greater detail in ther sectins f labeling: Disabling and Ptentially Irreversible Serius Adverse Reactins [see Warnings and Precautins (5.1)] Tendinitis and Tendn Rupture [see Warnings and Precautins (5.2)] Peripheral Neurpathy [see Warnings and Precautins (5.3)] Central Nervus System Effects [see Warnings and Precautins (5.4)] Exacerbatin f Myasthenia Gravis [see Warnings and Precautins (5.5)] Other Serius and Smetimes Fatal Adverse Reactins [see Warnings and Precautins (5.6)] Hypersensitivity Reactins [see Warnings and Precautins (5.7)] Hepattxicity [see Warnings and Precautins (5.8)] Serius Adverse Reactins with Cncmitant Thephylline [see Warnings and Precautins (5.9)] Clstridium difficile-assciated Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautins (5.10)] Prlngatin f the QT Interval [see Warnings and Precautins (5.11)] Musculskeletal Disrders in Pediatric Patients [see Warnings and Precautins (5.12)] Phtsensitivity/Phttxicity [see Warnings and Precautins (5.13)] Develpment f Drug Resistant Bacteria [see Warnings and Precautins (5.14)] 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are cnducted under widely varying cnditins, adverse reactin rates bserved in the clinical trials f a drug cannt be directly cmpared t rates in the clinical trials f anther drug and may nt reflect the rates bserved in practice. Adult Patients During clinical investigatins with ral and parenteral CIPRO IV, 49,038 patients received curses f the drug. The mst frequently reprted adverse reactins, frm clinical trials f all frmulatins, all dsages, all drug-therapy duratins, and fr all indicatins f ciprflxacin therapy were nausea (2.5%), diarrhea (1.6%), liver functin tests abnrmal (1.3%), vmiting (1%), and rash (1%). In clinical trials the fllwing adverse reactins were reprted in greater than 1% f patients treated with intravenus CIPRO IV: nausea, diarrhea, central nervus system disturbance, lcal intravenus site reactins, liver functin tests abnrmal, esinphilia, headache, restlessness, and rash. Lcal intravenus site reactins are mre frequent if the infusin time is 30 minutes r less. These may appear as lcal skin reactins that reslve rapidly upn cmpletin f the infusin. Subsequent intravenus administratin is nt cntraindicated unless the reactins recur r wrsen.

In randmized, duble-blind cntrlled clinical trials cmparing CIPRO (Intravenus and Intravenus/Oral sequential) with intravenus beta-lactam cntrl antibitics, the CNS adverse reactin prfile f CIPRO was cmparable t that f the cntrl drugs. Pediatric Patients Shrt (6 weeks) and lng term (1 year) musculskeletal and neurlgical safety f ral/intravenus ciprflxacin was cmpared t a cephalsprin fr treatment f cuti r pyelnephritis in pediatric patients 1 t 17 years f age (mean age f 6 ± 4 years) in an internatinal multicenter trial. The duratin f therapy was 10 t 21 days (mean duratin f treatment was 11 days with a range f 1 t 88 days). A ttal f 335 ciprflxacin- and 349 cmparatr-treated patients were enrlled. An Independent Pediatric Safety Cmmittee (IPSC) reviewed all cases f musculskeletal adverse reactins including abnrmal gait r abnrmal jint exam (baseline r treatment-emergent). Within 6 weeks f treatment initiatin, the rates f musculskeletal adverse reactins were 9.3% (31/335) in the ciprflxacin-treated grup versus 6% (21/349) in NDA CIPRO IV FDA Apprved 26 Jul 2017

Radilgical evaluatins were nt rutinely used t cnfirm reslutin f the adverse reactins. Ciprflxacin-treated patients were mre likely t reprt mre than ne adverse reactin and n mre than ne ccasin cmpared t cntrl patients. The rate f musculskeletal adverse reactins was cnsistently higher in the ciprflxacin grup cmpared t the cntrl grup acrss all age subgrups. At the end f 1 year, the rate f these adverse reactins reprted at any time during that perid was 13.7% (46/335) in the ciprflxacin-treated grup versus 9.5% (33/349) in the cmparatr-treated patients (Table 6).

The study was designed t demnstrate that the arthrpathy rate fr the CIPRO grup did nt exceed that f the cntrl grup by mre than + 6%. At bth the 6 week and 1 year evaluatins, the 95% cnfidence interval indicated that it culd nt be cncluded that the ciprflxacin grup had findings cmparable t the cntrl grup. The incidence rates f neurlgical adverse reactins within 6 weeks f treatment initiatin were 3% (9/335) in the ciprflxacin grup versus 2% (7/349) in the cmparatr grup and included dizziness, nervusness, insmnia, and smnlence. In this trial, the verall incidence rates f adverse reactins within 6 weeks f treatment initiatin were 41% (138/335) in the ciprflxacin grup versus 31% (109/349) in the cmparatr grup. The mst frequent adverse reactins were gastrintestinal: 15% (50/335) f ciprflxacin patients cmpared t 9% (31/349) f cmparatr patients. Serius adverse reactins were seen in 7.5% (25/335) f ciprflxacin-treated patients cmpared t 5.7% (20/349) f cntrl patients. Discntinuatin f drug due t an adverse reactin was bserved in 3% (10/335) f ciprflxacin-treated patients versus 1.4% (5/349) f cmparatr patients. Other adverse events that ccurred in at least 1% f ciprflxacin patients were diarrhea 4.8%, vmiting 4.8%, abdminal pain 3.3%, dyspepsia 2.7%, nausea 2.7%, fever 2.1%, asthma 1.8% and rash 1.8%. Shrt-term safety data fr ciprflxacin was als cllected in a randmized, duble-blind clinical trial fr the treatment f acute pulmnary exacerbatins in cystic fibrsis patients (ages 5 17 years). Sixty seven patients received CIPRO IV 10 mg/kg/dse every 8 hurs fr ne week fllwed by CIPRO tablets 20 mg/kg/dse every 12 hurs t cmplete days treatment and 62 patients received the cmbinatin f ceftazidime intravenus 50 mg/kg/dse every 8 hurs and tbramycin intravenus 3 mg/kg/dse every 8 hurs fr a ttal f days. Peridic musculskeletal assessments were cnducted by treatment-blinded examiners. Patients were fllwed fr an average f 23 days after cmpleting treatment (range 0 93 days). Musculskeletal adverse reactins were reprted in 22% f the patients in the ciprflxacin grup and 21% in the cmparisn grup. Decreased range f mtin was reprted in 12% f the subjects in the ciprflxacin grup and 16% in the cmparisn grup.
