Tigelin 50Mg Warnings

Warning 1

Anaphylactic reactions have been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including Tigecycline, and may be life-threatening. It is structurally similar to tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs and should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs.

Warning 2

Increases in total bilirubin concentration, prothrombin time and transaminases have been seen in patients treated with tigecycline. Isolated cases of significant hepatic dysfunction and hepatic failure have been reported in patients being treated with tigecycline. Some of these patients were receiving multiple concomitant medications. Patients who develop abnormal liver function tests during tigecycline therapy should be monitored for evidence of worsening hepatic function and evaluated for risk/benefit of continuing tigecycline therapy. Hepatic dysfunction may occur after the drug has been discontinued.

Warning 3

Hypofibrinogenemia has been reported in patients treated with Tigecycline. Obtain baseline blood coagulation parameters, including fibrinogen, and continue to monitor regularly during treatment with Tigecycline.
