Food/Drug Interaction Instructions were also given. This 60-year-old male patient with ischemic CMP and AFib was started on Coumadin 5 weeks ago and was cardioverted via the AICD last Tuesday.

He was treated empirically with Levofloxacin, diuresed, and assessed for underlying rhythm. His CXR showed interval improvement and his BCXs from LWMH were negative at 3 days. He was discharged on PO diuretics and a 14-day course of Levofloxacin, with ASA 81 MG PO QD, Allopurinol 300 MG PO QD, Digoxin 0.25 MG PO QD, Folic Acid 1 MG PO QD, Lopressor 12.5 MG PO BID, Thiamine 100 MG PO QD, Coumadin 5 MG PO QHS, Simvastatin and Warfarin, Levofloxacin 250 MG PO QD starting in AM (7/21), and Ativan 1 MG PO BID PRN anxiety or insomnia.
