What are the risks associated with Tequin? If you have any of the following side effects, stop taking Tequin and call your doctor:

• Serious blood sugar changes including low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
• Severe allergic reactions (trouble breathing; throat closing; swelling of lips, tongue, or face; hives)
• Central nervous system (CNS) side effects including seizures, dizziness, confusion, tremors, hallucinations, depression, or suicidal thoughts
• Tendon pain, inflammation, or rupture

What is hypoglycemia?
Hypoglycemia is often referred to as low blood sugar or low blood glucose. The most common symptoms of hypoglycemia are shakiness and sweatiness and pounding heart. The most common reasons for hypoglycemia are too much insulin, too little food, or too much activity. Another cause is drinking alcoholic beverages. Most hypoglycemia, if quickly and appropriately treated, is an inconvenience. However, severe hypoglycemia can cause mental confusion, antagonistic behaviors, unconsciousness, and seizures. The biggest danger is not the condition itself but what may happen as a result -- a car accident caused by passing out at the wheel or swerving into oncoming traffic, or falling down the stairs, for example. Seizures can result in brain damage. Hypoglycemia is one of the more serious Tequin side effects.

What is hyperglycemia?
Hyperglycemia is often referred to as high blood sugar or high glucose in the blood or diabetes. The classic symptoms of hyperglycemia are frequent hunger, thirst, and urination. Other hyperglycemic symptoms may include blurred vision, weight loss, dry mouth, itchiness, fatigue, male impotence, inability to heal, and frequent infections. The biggest danger of being diabetic is to know you have it and to be treated appropriately.

What should I tell my doctor before taking Tequin?
Before you start taking Tequin, tell your doctor if you are trying to become pregnant, are already pregnant, or are breast-feeding. The effects on the unborn child and nursing infant are unknown. Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, heart problems, have or had liver problems, or have kidney problems.

Can other medicines or food affect Tequin?
Tequin and certain other medicines can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Be aware of the medicines you take. Keep a list of them with you to show your doctor.

Especially tell your doctor if you take:

• medicine to control blood sugar (insulin, glyburide, other hypoglycemic drugs) or steroids
• medicines to treat an irregular heartbeat
• Cisapride, erythromycin, antidepressant medicines, or antipsychotic medicines these medicines may increase the chance of heart beat problems when taken with Tequin.
• medicines called diuretics or water pills because they can sometimes cause low blood potassium
• diabetes medicines
• Videx (didanosine): Tequin should be taken four hours before your dose of Videx.
• antacids and multivitamins that contain zinc, magnesium, or iron. These may stop Tequin from passing into your body. Take Tequin four hours before taking any of these products.

What else should I know before taking Tequin?

• Do not drive or operate dangerous machines until you know how Tequin affects you. Tequin can cause dizziness.
• Avoid long exposure to sunlight. Tequin may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. You might get severe sunburn. Call your doctor if you have severe burning, redness, itching, rash, or swelling after being in the sun while taking Tequin.
• Tequin for Oral Suspension contains phenylalanine. This is important to know if you have a condition called Phenylketonuria.
