            Warnings

            Contraindications

            A history of a hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reaction to any penicillin

            Solutions containing dextrose in patients with known allergy to corn or corn products

            Cautions

            Evaluate renal, hepatic, hematologic systems periodically during prolonged treatment

            Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions reported; reactions are more likely to occur in individuals with history of penicillin hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens; inquire about previous hypersensitivity reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins, or other allergens before initiating therapy; if allergic reaction occurs, discontinue treatment and institute appropriate therapy

            Use with caution in patients with histories of significant allergies and/or asthma; whenever allergic reactions occur, withdraw penicillin unless, in the opinion of the physician, the condition being treated is life-threatening and amenable only to penicillin therapy

            Liver/biliary tract is primary route of nafcillin clearance; exercise caution when patients with concomitant hepatic insufficiency and renal dysfunction are treated with this drug

            Prescribing the antibiotic in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to patient and increases risk of development of drug-resistant bacteria

            The use of antibiotics may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms; if new infections due to bacteria or fungi occur, discontinue drug and take appropriate measures

            To optimize therapy, determine causative organisms and susceptibility; > 10 d treatment to eliminate infection and prevent sequelae (eg, endocarditis, rheumatic fever); take cultures after treatment to confirm that infection is eradicated

            Elevation of liver transaminases and/or cholestasis may occur, specifically with administration of high doses

            Urinalysis, serum blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine determinations should be performed at baseline and periodically during therapy; serum bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase should be obtained at baseline and periodically during therapy, especially when using high nafcillin doses; in patients with worsening hepatic

            Renal tubular damage and interstitial nephritis associated with administration of nafcillin; manifestations of nephrotoxicity are hematuria, proteinuria, and acute kidney injury, and may be associated with rash, fever, and eosinophilia; majority of cases resolve upon discontinuation of nafcillin; some patients, may require dialysis treatment and may develop permanent renal damage

            Clostridium difficile

            • C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to development of CDAD;hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy
            • CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use; careful medical history necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after administration of antibacterial agents
            • If clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) suspected or confirmed, may need to discontinue ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile
            • Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Unipen

            USES: This medication is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is known as a penicillin-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

            HOW TO USE: This medication is given by injection into a vein as directed by your doctor, usually every 4 to 6 hours. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. For children, the dosage is also based on weight.If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.Give aminoglycosides (such as gentamicin) separately from this medication. Do not mix together in the same IV fluid.For the best effect, use this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, use this medication at the same time(s) every day.Continue to use this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.

            SIDE EFFECTS: If this medication is injected into a muscle, pain at the injection site may occur. If this effect lasts or gets worse, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: pain/swelling/skin peeling at injection site (if this drug is injected into a vein), joint/muscle pain, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine, pink/bloody/frothy/dark/cloudy urine), extreme tiredness, easy bruising/bleeding, new signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever), seizures, uncontrolled movements, confusion, irregular heartbeat, muscle cramps, weakness.This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition due to a bacteria called C. difficile. This condition may occur during treatment or weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: diarrhea that doesn't stop, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool.If you have these symptoms, do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid products because they may make symptoms worse.Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection. Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge, or other new symptoms.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

            PRECAUTIONS: Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as corn for products containing dextrose), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: asthma, kidney disease, liver disease.This medication contains sodium.
