How To Use
  • Cubicin is given by vein intravenously (IV) usually once daily.
  • If you have severe kidney disease or are on kidney dialysis, you should only receive Cubicin every other day (i.e., every 48 hours).
  • Usually Cubicin is used for two weeks; or use as directed by your doctor.
  • Follow all instructions for proper mixing and dilution with the correct IV fluids.
  • If you have any questions about the mixing or use of Cubicin, ask your pharmacist.
  • Before using, check this product visually for particles.
  • If present, do not use the liquid.
  • Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level.
  • Therefore, take Cubicin at evenly spaced intervals.
  • Continue to take Cubicin until the full-prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days.
  • Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.
  • Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve in one week.
  • Learn how to store and discard needles and medical supplies safely.
  • Consult your pharmacist.

  • Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: unusual bleeding or bruising, irregular heartbeat, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine.
  • Cubicin may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (pseudomembranous colitis) due to a resistant bacteria.
  • This condition may occur weeks after treatment has stopped.
  • Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medications if you have the following symptoms because these products may make them worse.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if you develop: persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool.
  • Use of Cubicin for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection (oral or vaginal fungal infection).

  • A serious allergic reaction to Cubicin is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs.
