This drug is typically prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from infections of the sinuses, lungs, urinary tract or skin. In some cases, this medicine may also be prescribed in the treatment of certain STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).

Tequin may also be recommended in order to treat or prevent other medical conditions. If you would like to obtain more information regarding why you have been prescribed a treatment with this drug, it is advised that you consult with you personal health care professional.

It is advised to consult with your health care provider before starting a treatment with Tequin if you suffer from or have a medical history of Long QT syndrome, hypokalemia, heart, liver or kidney disease, heart rhythm disorder, epilepsy or other seizure disorders.

Tequin may not be appropriate for use in pregnant women or nursing mothers. If you are or plan to become pregnant, or if you are breast-feeding a baby, you should check with a health care professional before starting a treatment with this drug.

Tequin Intake Guidelines

It is strongly recommended that you closely follow the intake guidelines that your prescribing health care professional has provided you with. Each dose of Tequin should be accompanied by a full glass of water, and it is recommended that you drink extra quantities of liquids while following a treatment with this medication. You may experience a relief of the symptoms within a few days from starting the treatment; however, it is strongly recommended that you continue the therapy for the full duration, in order to ensure that the infection has cleared away completely.

Tequin Dosage

The exact Tequin dosage will be prescribed by the examining health care provider depending on the particularities of the case. Factors such as the infection that is being treated, the patient’s age, medical history and general health condition will be taken into account, as well as a number of other factors. As the dosage may vary greatly from one case to another, it is strongly recommended that you do not use the Tequin dosage prescribed to another patient or even the dosage that you have been prescribed in the past. As the examining health care provider may change the dosage during a single therapy course, it is recommended that you use the dosage that you have been last prescribed.

Tequin Overdose

It is highly advised that you do not exceed the daily Tequin dose that you have been given by your physician. You should never attempt to modify the dosage that your prescribing health care professional has recommended. Do not change the intake schedule or the medication dosage, as this may result in severe, possibly even lethal consequences. Among the common symptoms of an overdose with Tequin, tremors, vomiting, decreased activity, seizures and slowed breathing are possible.

Tequin Missed Dose

It is strongly suggested that you maintain a strict intake schedule in order to reduce the chances of missing any Tequin doses. If you happen to miss a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for another dose of the medicine. In such situations it is recommended to completely skip the missed dose and continue with the normal intake schedule. You should never take a larger dose of Tequin in order to make up for a missed dose, unless your examining health care professional specifically instructs you to do so.
