Agicipro Side Effects and Drug Interactions

"Agicipro: Side Effects and Drug Interactions
Agicipro is an antibiotic belonging to the Quinolone class, used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. However, using Agicipro can cause serious side effects and drug interactions.
Theophylline: Agicipro can increase theophylline levels in the blood, leading to an increased risk of theophylline side effects. Consider reducing the theophylline dosage if both drugs must be used.
Drug Interactions
Ciclosporin: Agicipro may temporarily increase serum creatinine levels when used concurrently with ciclosporin.
Oral anticoagulants (like Warfarin): Agicipro can increase the effects of oral anticoagulants, leading to an increased risk of bleeding.
Drug Interactions
Probenecid: Probenecid reduces Agicipro elimination, leading to increased Agicipro levels in the blood, increasing the risk of side effects.
Sucralfate: Agicipro and sucralfate should be taken at least 2-6 hours apart, as sucralfate can reduce Agicipro absorption if taken simultaneously.
