Nadiquin Special Precautions

The safety and effectiveness of Nadifloxacin have not been studied enough in children younger than 14 years. Therefore, it is advisable not to use it in patients of this age group.
Contact with eyes and other mucous membranes should be avoided. In case of contact, wash the eyes or mucous membrane with abundant warm water. Wash hands after the application of the cream to avoid the accidental application to other areas.
It is known that photosensitivity reactions have been developed in patients treated with other quinolones systemically administered. Although several studies in animals and humans have shown that Nadifloxacin has no phototoxic or photoallergic effect, the cream base can maximize the effect over the photosensitivity. In addition, there is no experience regarding the prolonged exposition to solar light or artificial UV light when Nadifloxacin is used. Therefore, patients under treatment with Nadifloxacin should avoid the exposition to artificial UV radiation (UV lamps, solar beds, solarium) and avoid when possible the exposition to solar light.
If there is sensitization or severe irritation, discontinue the use of the product.
The drug should not be applied to damaged skin (cuts and grazes).
Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines: Neither the pharmacodynamic profile, nor the clinical experience suggest that Nadifloxacin could have any effect on the ability to drive and use machines.
