Rarely, trovafloxacin has been associated with the development of serious liver injury that has resulted in liver transplant and/or death. Stop taking trovafloxacin and consult your doctor immediately if you develop fatigue, decreased appetite, yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe stomach pain with nausea and vomiting, or dark urine. These may be early signs of liver damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Trovafloxacin can increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight. A severe sunburn may result, even with minimal sun exposure. If exposure to the sun is unavoidable, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. Call your doctor if you experience severe burning, redness, itching, rash, or swelling after exposure to the sun. Do not take antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum (e.g., Tums or Rolaids), the ulcer medicine sucralfate (Carafate), or vitamin or mineral supplements that contain iron or zinc for a minimum of 2 hours before and 2 hours after a dose of trovafloxacin. These medicines decrease the effectiveness of trovafloxacin. Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Trovafloxacin may cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness, avoid these activities.
