Renal information and dialysis
The label states that renal-impairment pharmacokinetics have not been studied. It does not establish a numeric renal or dialysis regimen. Do not reclassify this as a label-proven no-adjustment statement.
Selected warnings and limits
Do not use the traveler-diarrhea regimen for fever, bloody stool or suspected invasive pathogens. Severe hepatic disease increases exposure; review P-glycoprotein inhibitors.
