Deconamine


Pronunciation: klor-fen-IHR-ah-meen/sue-do-eh-FED-rin
Generic Name: Chlorpheniramine/Pseudoephedrine
Brand Name: Examples include Deconamine and Sudafed Plus


Deconamine is used for:

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, sinus pressure, runny nose, and sneezing due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies. It may also used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Deconamine is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure.


Do NOT use Deconamine if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Deconamine

  • you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems

  • you take sodium oxybate (GHB) or if you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Deconamine:


Some medical conditions may interact with Deconamine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat

  • if you have a history of asthma, lung problems (eg, emphysema), adrenal gland problems (eg, adrenal gland tumor), heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart blood vessel problems, stroke, glaucoma, a blockage of your stomach or intestines, ulcers, a blockage of your bladder, trouble urinating, an enlarged prostate, seizures, or an overactive thyroid

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Deconamine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, tolcapone), furazolidone, indomethacin,MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), sodium oxybate (GHB), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Deconamine's side effects

  • Digoxin or droxidopa because the risk of irregular heartbeat or heart attack may be increased

  • Bromocriptine or hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Deconamine

  • Guanethidine, guanadrel, mecamylamine, methyldopa, or reserpine because their effectiveness may be decreased by Deconamine

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Deconamine may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

Dyrenium


Pronunciation: trye-AM-ter-een
Generic Name: Triamterene
Brand Name: Dyrenium

Dyrenium may cause high blood potassium levels that can be fatal if not corrected. High blood potassium levels occur more commonly in patients with kidney problems, diabetes, elderly patients, those who are severely ill, or patients who are not taking an agent used to increase excretion of potassium. If you develop muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat, notify your doctor immediately.





Dyrenium is used for:

Treating swelling (edema) associated with conditions such as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and certain severe kidney problems (eg, nephrosis). It may be used alone or with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dyrenium is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by making the kidneys eliminate sodium (salt) and water from the body while retaining potassium.


Do NOT use Dyrenium if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Dyrenium

  • you are taking potassium supplements, another potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, amiloride), or an aldosterone blocker (eg, eplerenone)

  • you are unable to urinate or have high blood potassium levels or severely decreased liver or kidney function

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Dyrenium:


Some medical conditions may interact with Dyrenium. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have heart problems, diabetes, kidney damage caused by diabetes, liver or kidney problems, low blood sodium levels, a high acidity of body fluids, dehydration, or a history of kidney stones

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dyrenium. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Aldosterone blockers (eg, eplerenone), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), angiotensin II receptor antagonists (eg, valsartan), cyclosporine, penicillin G potassium, otherpotassium-sparing diuretics (eg, amiloride), or potassium supplements because high blood potassium levels may occur and cause listlessness, confusion, abnormal skin sensations of the arms and legs, heaviness of the limbs, slow or irregular heartbeat, or stopping of the heart

  • Insulin and oral hypoglycemics (eg, chlorpropamide) because the risk of side effects, such as severe low blood sodium and changes in blood sugar, may be increased

  • Lithium because risk of side effects and toxicity may be increased by Dyrenium

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, indomethacin) because the effectiveness of Dyrenium may be decreased and the risk of kidney problems and high blood potassium levels may be increased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Dyrenium may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Dyrenium:


Use Dyrenium as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Take Dyrenium by mouth with or without food.

  • Dyrenium may increase the amount of urine or cause you to urinate more often when you first start taking it. To keep this from disturbing your sleep, try to take your dose before 6 pm.

  • If you miss a dose of Dyrenium, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dyrenium.



Important safety information:


  • Dyrenium may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Dyrenium with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • Check with your doctor before you use a salt substitute or a product that has potassium in it.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Dyrenium before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • LAB TESTS, including blood electrolytes, blood cell counts, kidney and liver function tests, blood uric acid levels, and blood pressure, may be performed while you use Dyrenium. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Use Dyrenium with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.

  • Dyrenium should not be used in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is not known if Dyrenium can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Dyrenium while you are pregnant. It is not known if Dyrenium is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Dyrenium.

Denagard®


(tiamulin)


Liquid Concentrate



Description:


Denagard (tiamulin) Liquid Concentrate is a solution containing 12.3% tiamulin hydrogen fumarate (w/v) in an aqueous solution. The active ingredient, tiamulin, chemically is 14-desoxy-14-[(2-diethylaminoethyl) mercaptoacetoxy] mutilin hydrogen fumarate, a semi-synthetic diterpene antibiotic. Denagard Liquid Concentrate is for use only in preparing medicated drinking water for swine.



Actions:


Tiamulin is active against Brachyspira (formerly Serpulina or Treponema) hyodysenteriae and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. It is readily absorbed from the gut and can be found in the blood within 30 minutes after dosing.



Indications:


Denagard (tiamulin), when administered in the drinking water for five consecutive days, is an effective antibiotic for the treatment of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira (formerly Serpulina or Treponema) hyodysenteriae susceptible to tiamulin at a dose level of 3.5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound of body weight daily and for treatment of swine pneumonia due to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae susceptible to tiamulin when given at 10.5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound of body weight daily.



Contraindications:


Swine being treated with Denagard (tiamulin) should not have access to feeds containing polyether ionophores (e.g., monensin, lasalocid, narasin, salinomycin and semduramicin) as adverse reactions may occur.



Warning:


Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin. Direct contact with skin or mucous membranes may cause irritation.


Withdraw medicated water 3 days before slaughter after treatment at 3.5 mg per pound and 7 days before slaughter following treatment at 10.5 mg per pound body weight.



Caution:


For use in drinking water of swine only. Prepare fresh medicated water daily. The effects of tiamulin on swine reproductive performance, pregnancy and lactation have not been determined. For animal use only – not for use in humans.



Adverse Reactions:


Overdoses of Denagard have sometimes produced transitory salivation, vomiting and an apparent calming effect on the pig. If signs of toxicity occur, discontinue use of medicated water and replace with clean, fresh water.


In rare cases, redness of the skin primarily over the ham and underline has been observed during medication. If these signs appear, discontinue use of this drug. Provide ample clean drinking water. Thoroughly rinse (hose down) the housing to remove urine and feces from animal contact surfaces or move the animals to clean pens. If the condition persists, consult your veterinarian.


Studies to evaluate the safety of the water soluble form of tiamulin in breeding swine have not been done.



Use Directions:


The concentration of tiamulin in the drinking water must be adjusted to compensate for variation in water consumption due to weight or size of the pig, environmental temperature and other factors. It is important that pigs receive the proper drug dose, 3.5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound for swine dysentery or 10.5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound for swine pneumonia, each day for 5 consecutive days.

Directions for using Denagard in medicated proportioners: One quart of Denagard Liquid Concentrate mixed with water to make four gallons of stock solution and this stock solution metered at one fluid ounce per gallon will provide 227 mg of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gallon to 512 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine dysentery. Three quarts of Denagard Liquid Concentrate mixed with water to make four gallons of stock solution and this stock solution metered at one fluid ounce per gallon will provide 681 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gallon to a total of 512 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine pneumonia.


One pint of Denagard Liquid Concentrate mixed with water to make two gallons of stock solution and this stock solution metered at one fluid ounce per gallon will provide 227 mg of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gallon to 256 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine dysentery. Use three pints of Denagard Liquid Concentrate in two gallons of stock solution to be metered at one fluid ounce per gallon to deliver 681 mg per gallon to a total of 256 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine pneumonia.


One-half pint (8 fluid ounces) of Denagard Liquid Concentrate diluted with water to make one gallon of stock solution and this stock solution metered at one fluid ounce of drinking water with a medication proportioner will provide 227 mg of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gallon to 128 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine dysentery.


Use one and one-half pints of Denagard Liquid Concentrate per gallon of stock solution to be metered at one fluid ounce per gallon to provide 681 mg per gallon to 128 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine pneumonia.


In barrels or tanks: Three fluid ounces of Denagard Liquid Concentrate will medicate 48 gallons of drinking water at 227 mg per gallon for treatment of swine dysentery or 16 gallons at 681 mg per gallon for treatment of swine pneumonia.


Measure Denagard Liquid concentrate carefully, pour into the proper amount of water and thoroughly mix. The concentration of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate in the stock solution and in the drinking water delivered must be adjusted to compensate for variation in water consumption by pigs due to body weight, environmental and other factors. It is important that the pigs receive the proper drug dose of 3.5 mg of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound of body weight daily for 5 consecutive days for treatment of swine dysentery or a dose of 10.5 mg per pound body weight daily for 5 consecutive days for treatment of swine pneumonia.


Attention: If no response to treatment is obtained within 5 days re-establish the diagnosis. Failure of response may be related to the presence of non-susceptible organisms of other complicating disease conditions. Because of the tendency for the disease to recur on premises with a history of swine dysentery or with swine pneumonia, a control program should be implemented after treatment. Drugs are not substitutes for proper sanitary measures or good management, but should be used in conjunction with such practices.

INDICATIONS:


Duet® DHA Balanced is a gluten free prescription regimen of prenatal multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements indicated for use in improving the nutritional status of women throughout pregnancy and in the post-natal period for both lactating and non-lactating mothers. Duet® DHA Balanced is also useful in improving the nutritional status prior to conception.



CONTRAINDICATIONS:


This product is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients, including fish or fish oil.



WARNINGS:


Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient.




WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or a poison control center immediately.




Since daily ingestion of more than 3 grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids (including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) from fish oils may have potential antithrombotic activities and may increase bleeding times, administration of DHA should be avoided in patients with inherited or acquired bleeding diatheses, including those taking anticoagulants.


PRECAUTIONS:

Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia (hematologic remission may occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive).



DRUG INTERACTIONS:


Pyridoxine supplements should be avoided in patients receiving levodopa alone, as the actions of levodopa may be antagonized.



ADVERSE REACTIONS:


Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.



DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:


Before, during and after pregnancy, one tablet and one enteric-coated softgel capsule taken by mouth daily, or as directed by a physician. The tablet and enteric-coated softgel capsule may be taken together or at different times of the day. Caution should be exercised to ensure that the prescribed dose of DHA does not exceed 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day.



HOW SUPPLIED:

R-Tanna Tablets



phenylephrine tannate and chlorpheniramine tannate

Dosage Form: tablet
R-Tanna Tablets

Description


R-Tanna Tablets are an antihistamine/nasal decongestant combination. Each tablet contains:

Phenylephrine Tannate         25 mg

Chlorpheniramine Tannate      9 mg


Other ingredients: corn starch, dibasic calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, methylcellulose, polygalacturonic acid, povidone, talc.

Clinical Pharmacology


R-Tanna Tablets combine the sympathomimetic decongestant effect of phenylephrine with the antihistaminic action of chlorpheniramine.

Indications and Usage


R-Tanna Tablets are indicated for symptomatic relief of the coryza and nasal congestion associated with the common cold, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and other upper respiratory tract conditions. Appropriate therapy should be provided for the primary disease.

Contraindications


R-Tanna Tablets are contraindicated for newborns, nursing mothers and patients sensitive to any of the ingredients or related compounds.

Warnings


Use with caution in patients with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, narrow angle glaucoma or prostatic hypertrophy. Use with caution or avoid use in patients taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, or within 14 days of stopping such treatment. This product contains an antihistamine which may cause drowsiness and may have additive central nervous system (CNS) effects with alcohol or other CNS depressants (e.g., hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers).

Precautions


General: Antihistamines are more likely to cause dizziness, sedation and hypotension in elderly patients. Antihistamines may cause excitation, particularly in children, but their combination with sympathomimetics may cause either mild stimulation or mild sedation.


Information for patients: Caution patients against drinking alcoholic beverages or engaging in potentially hazardous activities requiring alertness, such as driving a car or operating machinery while using this product. Patients should be warned not to use this product if they are now taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (certain drugs for depression, psychiatric or emotional conditions, or Parkinson's disease), or for 2 weeks after stopping the MAOI drug. If patients are uncertain whether a prescription drug contains an MAOI, they should be instructed to consult a health professional before taking such a product.


Drug interactions: MAO inhibitors may prolong and intensify the anticholinergic effects of antihistamines and the overall effects of sympathomimetic agents.


Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility: No long term animal studies have been performed with R-Tanna Tablets.


Pregnancy: Teratogenic effects: Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with R-Tanna Tablets. It is also not known whether R-Tanna Tablets can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. R-Tanna Tablets should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.


Nursing mothers: R-Tanna Tablets should not be administered to a nursing woman.



Adverse Reactions


To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Meda Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 1-800-526-3840 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.


Adverse effects associated with R-Tanna Tablets at recommended doses have been minimal. The most common have been drowsiness, sedation, dryness of mucous membranes, and gastrointestinal effects. Serious side effects with oral antihistamines or sympathomimetics have been rare.


Overdosage


Signs and symptoms: May vary from CNS depression to stimulation (restlessness to convulsions). Antihistamine overdosage in young children may lead to convulsions and death. Atropine-like signs and symptoms may be prominent.


Treatment: Induce vomiting if it has not occurred spontaneously. Precautions must be taken against aspiration especially in infants, children and comatose patients. If gastric lavage is indicated, isotonic or half-isotonic saline solution is preferred. Stimulants should not be used. If hypotension is a problem, vasopressor agents may be considered.



Dosage and Administration


Administer the recommended dose every 12 hours.

R-Tanna Tablets: Adults -- 1 or 2 tablets.

How Supplied

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatrics-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of oxaprozin in children 6 to 16 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established in children below 6 years of age .


Geriatric


Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatrics-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of oxaprozin in the elderly.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

oxaprozin may raise your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. This is more likely in people who already have heart disease. People who use oxaprozin for a long time might also have a higher risk .


oxaprozin may cause bleeding in your stomach or intestines. These problems can happen without warning signs.

Stop taking oxaprozin and check with your doctor immediately if you notice any of these warning signs .


oxaprozin may also cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.

The most serious signs of this reaction are very fast or irregular breathing, gasping for breath, wheezing, or fainting. Other signs may include changes in color of the skin of the face; very fast but irregular heartbeat or pulse; hive-like swellings on the skin; and puffiness or swellings of the eyelids or around the eyes. If these effects occur, get emergency help at once .
