Does Bedaquiline Fumarate Interact with Ofloxacin?
CDI records a unknown classification for Bedaquiline Fumarate and Ofloxacin. The stored summary is: In a placebo-controlled clinical trial in adult patients, no major impact of coadministration of SIRTURO on the pharmacokinetics of ethambutol, kanamycin, pyrazinamide, ofloxacin or cycloserine was observed. Patients taking both medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing the dosage of either drug. This record was extracted from drug labeling through openFDA. NIH/NLM RxNorm is used for drug identities. The summary and severity classification are CDI's processed information, not a verbatim source quotation. Product, route, and patient circumstances matter.

What To Tell Your Doctor or Pharmacist
If you are taking Bedaquiline Fumarate and your doctor is considering prescribing Ofloxacin (or vice versa), make sure to:
- Inform your doctor and pharmacist of all current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements
- Ask whether the benefits of combining these medications outweigh the risks for your specific situation
- Ask what symptoms to watch for that would indicate the interaction is causing problems
- Never stop or change either medication without first consulting your healthcare provider
