17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Allergic Reactions

Advise patients that allergic reactions, including serious skin, kidney, lung, or other organ reactions, could occur and that these serious reactions require immediate treatment. Patients should report any previous allergic reactions to daptomycin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.4, 5.5)].

Muscle Pain or Weakness (Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis, Peripheral Neuropathy)

Advise patients to report muscle pain or weakness, especially in the forearms and lower legs, as well as tingling or numbness [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.6)].

Cough, Breathlessness or Fever (Eosinophilic Pneumonia)

Advise patients to report any symptoms of cough, breathlessness, or fever [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

C. difficile -Associated Diarrhea (CDAD)

Advise patients that diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibacterials including daptomycin, that usually ends when the antibacterial is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibacterials, including daptomycin, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever), even as late as 2 or more months after having received the last dose of the antibacterial. If this occurs, patients should contact their physician as soon as possible [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].

Antibacterial Resistance

Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs, including daptomycin, should be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When daptomycin is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be administered exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by daptomycin or other antibacterial drugs in the future.
