Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE BAXDELA is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial indicated for the treatment of adults with the following infections caused by designated susceptible bacteria: Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) ( 1.1 ) Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP) ( 1.2 ) To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of BAXDELA and other antibacterial drugs, BAXDELA should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For ABSSSI and CABP: Administer BAXDELA for injection 300 mg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes, every 12 hours, or a 450 mg BAXDELA tablet orally every 12 hours. ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Recommended duration of treatment: ( 2.2 ) ABSSSI: 5 to 14 days CABP: 5 to 10 days Dosage for patients with renal impairment is based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ( 2.3 ) Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)(mL/min/1.73m 2 ) Estimate of GFR based on a Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. Recommended Dosage Regimen for BAXDELA For a total treatment duration of 5 to 14 days for the treatment of ABSSSI and 5 to 10 days for the treatment of CABP. Oral Intravenous All intravenous doses of BAXDELA are administered over 60 minutes.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious and otherwise important adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of labeling: Disabling and Potentially Irreversible Serious Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Tendinitis and Tendon Rupture [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Central Nervous System Effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Clostridium difficile -Associated Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Blood Glucose Disturbances [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 2%) are nausea, diarrhea, headache, transaminase elevations, and vomiting.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Chelation Agents: Antacids, Sucralfate, Metal Cations, Multivitamins Fluoroquinolones form chelates with alkaline earth and transition metal cations. Oral administration of BAXDELA with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, with sucralfate, with metal cations such as iron, or with multivitamins containing iron or zinc, or with formulations containing divalent and trivalent cations such as didanosine buffered tablets for oral suspension or the pediatric powder for oral solution, may substantially interfere with the absorption of BAXDELA, resulting in systemic concentrations considerably lower than desired. Therefore, BAXDELA should be taken at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after these agents [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .
Warnings
WARNING: SERIOUS ADVERSE REACTIONS INCLUDING TENDINITIS, TENDON RUPTURE, PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS and EXACERBATION OF MYASTHENIA GRAVIS Fluoroquinolones have been associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions that have occurred together (5.1), including: Tendinitis and tendon rupture (5.2) Peripheral neuropathy (5.3) Central nervous system effects (5.4) Discontinue BAXDELA immediately and avoid the use of fluoroquinolones, including... 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: May occur after first or subsequent doses of BAXDELA. Discontinue BAXDELA at the first sign of a skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity. ( 5.6 ) Clostridium difficile -associated diarrhea: Evaluate if diarrhea occurs. ( 5.7 ) 5.1 Disabling and Potentially Irreversible Serious Adverse Reactions Including Tendinitis and Tendon Rupture, Peripheral Neuropathy and Central Nervous System Effects Fluoroquinolones have been associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions from different body systems that can occur together in the same patient. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS BAXDELA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to delafloxacin or any of the fluoroquinolone class of antibacterial drugs, or any of the components of BAXDELA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . Known hypersensitivity to BAXDELA or other fluoroquinolones. ( 4 , 5.6 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data with BAXDELA use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriages. When delafloxacin (as the N-methyl glucamine salt) was administered orally to rats during the period of organogenesis, no malformations or fetal death were observed at up to 7 times the estimated clinical exposure based on AUC.
Storage
16.3 Storage and Handling BAXDELA Tablets and BAXDELA for Injection should be stored at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F); excursions permitted to 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature] . The reconstituted powder may be stored for up to 24 hours under refrigerated or controlled room temperature and then further diluted for intravenous infusion.
