What is Metrolex

Treating infections caused by certain bacteria and preventing infection before, during, and after certain surgeries. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Metrolex is an antibacterial agent. It is thought to work by entering the bacterial cell, acting on some components of the cell, and destroying the bacteria.

Important safety information:

• Metrolex may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Metrolex with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Do not drink alcohol or take any products containing alcohol or propylene glycol while you are using Metrolex and for at least 3 days after the last dose. Drinking alcohol or taking products with alcohol or propylene glycol may cause stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and flushing.
• Metrolex only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections.
• Be sure to use Metrolex for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
• Long-term or repeated use of Metrolex may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
• Some patients have developed persistent nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy) after using Metrolex for a long period of time. Tell your doctor right away if you develop signs of nerve problems (eg, numbness; tingling; burning of the arms, hands, legs, feet). Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
• Metrolex may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using Metrolex.
• Lab tests, including liver function and white blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Metrolex. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Use Metrolex with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
• Metrolex should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Metrolex while you are pregnant. Metrolex is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while using Metrolex.
