Miacalcin Parenteral


Generic Name: calcitonin (Parenteral route)

kal-si-TOE-nin

Uses For Miacalcin

Calcitonin is used to treat Paget's disease of bone. It also may be used to prevent continuing bone loss in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and to treat hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood). This medicine may be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.


This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.


Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although this use is not included in product labeling, calcitonin is used in certain patients with the following medical condition:


  • Osteoporosis caused by hormone problems, certain drugs, and other causes

Before Using Miacalcin


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to medicines in this group or any other medicines. 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


Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing the use of calcitonin in children with use in other age groups. Therefore, be sure to discuss with your doctor the use of this medicine in children.


Geriatric


Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing the use of calcitonin in the elderly with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults. Calcitonin is often used in elderly patients.


Pregnancy


Calcitonin has not been studied in pregnant women. However, in animal studies, calcitonin has been shown to lower the birth weight of the baby when the mother was given a dose of calcitonin many times the human dose.


Breast Feeding


Calcitonin has not been reported to cause problems in nursing babies. However, studies in animals have shown that calcitonin may decrease the flow of breast milk.


Interactions with Medicines


Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol


Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.


Proper Use of calcitonin

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain calcitonin. It may not be specific to Miacalcin. Please read with care.


Make certain your health care professional knows if your diet includes large amounts of calcium-containing foods and/or vitamin D-containing foods, such as milk or other dairy products. Calcium and vitamin D may cause the calcitonin to be less effective in treating a high blood calcium. Also let your health care professional know if you are on any special diet, such as low-sodium or low-sugar diet.


This medicine is for injection only. If you will be giving yourself the injections, make sure you understand exactly how to give them, including how to fill the syringe before injection. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.


Use the calcitonin only when the contents of the syringe are clear and colorless. Do not use it if it looks grainy or discolored.


Dosing


The dose medicines in this class will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of these medicines. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.

Viravan-PDM Suspension


Pronunciation: SOO-doe-e-FED-rin/pir-IL-a-meen/DEX-troe-meth-OR-fan
Generic Name: Pseudoephedrine/Pyrilamine/Dextromethorphan
Brand Name: Viravan-PDM


Viravan-PDM Suspension is used for:

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose or throat, itchy or watery eyes, cough due to colds, upper respiratory tract infections, and allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Viravan-PDM Suspension is a decongestant, antihistamine, and cough suppressant combination. The decongestant works by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nasal passages. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The cough suppressant works in the brain to help decrease the cough reflex to reduce a dry cough.


Do NOT use Viravan-PDM Suspension if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Viravan-PDM Suspension

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

  • you are unable to urinate or are having an asthma attack

  • you take droxidopa or 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 Viravan-PDM Suspension:


Some medical conditions may interact with Viravan-PDM Suspension. 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 history of adrenal gland problems (eg, adrenal gland tumor), heart problems (eg, fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; heart disease), high or low blood pressure, low blood volume, diabetes, blood vessel problems, stroke, glaucoma or increased pressure in the eye, or thyroid problems

  • if you have a history of asthma, chronic cough, lung or breathing problems (eg, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, sleep apnea), or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or if your cough occurs with large amounts of mucus

  • if you have a history of stomach or bowel ulcers; a blockage of your stomach, bladder, or bowel; an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems; kidney problems; or trouble urinating

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


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

  • Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), furazolidone, linezolid; MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, citalopram, fluoxetine), sodium oxybate (GHB), tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline), or urinary alkalinizers (eg, sodium bicarbonate) because they may increase the risk of Viravan-PDM Suspension's side effects

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

  • Guanadrel, guanethidine, mecamylamine, methyldopa, or reserpine because their effectiveness may be decreased by Viravan-PDM Suspension

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Viravan-PDM Suspension 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.

  • If you miss a dose of Viravan-PDM Suspension and you are taking it regularly, 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 Viravan-PDM Suspension.



Important safety information:

  • Viravan-PDM Suspension should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 6 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.

meglumine antimoniate Intravenous, Injection


MEG-loo-meen an-ti-MOE-nee-ate


Uses For meglumine antimoniate

Meglumine antimoniate belongs to the group of medicines called antiprotozoals. Meglumine antimoniate is used to treat an infection called leishmaniasis (Bay sore or chiclero ulcer, espundia, kala-azar or black sickness, Oriental sore, ulcera de Bejuco, uta), which is caused by protozoa (tiny, one-celled organisms).


Meglumine antimoniate should be administered by or under the supervision of your doctor.


Before Using meglumine antimoniate


In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For meglumine antimoniate, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to meglumine antimoniate or any other medicines. 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


Although there is no specific information comparing use of meglumine antimoniate in children with use in other age groups, meglumine antimoniate is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.


Geriatric


Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of meglumine antimoniate in the elderly with use in other age groups.


Interactions with Medicines


Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol


Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.


Other Medical Problems


The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of meglumine antimoniate. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


  • Heart disease or

  • Kidney disease or

  • Liver disease or

  • Pancreatic disease—Meglumine antimoniate may make these conditions worse

Proper Use of meglumine antimoniate


To help clear up your infection completely, meglumine antimoniate is based on its amount of pentavalent antimony and must be given for the full time of treatment and on a regular schedule.


Dosing


The dose of meglumine antimoniate will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of meglumine antimoniate. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.


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.


  • For injection dosage form:
    • For leishmaniasis (Bay sore or chiclero ulcer, espundia, kala-azar or black sickness, Oriental sore, ulcera de Bejuco, uta):
      • Adults and children—Dose is based on body weight and must be determined by your doctor. The usual dose is 20 milligrams (mg) of pentavalent antimony in meglumine antimoniate per kilogram (kg) (9.09 mg per pound) of body weight per day injected into a muscle for twenty to twenty-eight days. This treatment may be repeated or continued as needed. If your infection is not severe and involves only your skin, then your doctor may decide to just inject the medicine into the skin lesion. The dose will also be determined by your doctor.



Precautions While Using meglumine antimoniate


It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. This is to help make sure that the infection is cleared up completely.


If your symptoms become worse, check with your doctor .


meglumine antimoniate Side Effects

Actions and SpectrumActions



  • Allylamine antifungal.1 3 4 5 9 11 13 14 16 21 22 23 25 29 31 35 36 37 38 41 42 43 48 63




  • Usually fungicidal against susceptible dermatocytes.1 9 14 41 42 Usually fungistatic against Candida; may be fungicidal at high concentrations.1 3 9 14 41 42




  • Exact mechanism unknown; 1 3 11 16 41 43 appears to interfere with sterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the enzyme squalene monooxygenase (squalene 2,3-epoxidase).1 11 13 14 16 21 41 43 The resulting accumulation of squalene (the usual substrate of the enzyme) in the cells and decreased amounts of sterols, especially ergosterol,1 3 10 11 16 41 may contribute to the antifungal effects.41




  • Spectrum of antifungal activity includes many fungi, including dermatophytes and yeasts.1 2 3 4 5 8 9 12 22 23 31 37 42 Also may have in vitro activity against some gram-positive and -negative bacteria,58 60 61 and Leishmania.27




  • Candida: Active in vitro against Candida albicans,1 3 4 12 36 C. krusei,4 C. parapsilosis,4 12 31 41 and C. tropicalis;12 however, less active than imidazole derivatives against Candida.36 37 56




  • Dermatophytes and other fungi: Active in vitro against Aspergillus flavus,12 A. fumigatus,12 Blastomyces dermatitidis,12 Cryptococcus neoformans,12 Epidermophyton floccosum,1 4 8 12 38 42 Histoplasma capsulatum,12 Microsporum audouinii,1 M. canis,1 8 38 42 M. gypseum,1 8 Petriellidium boydii,12 Sporothrix schenckii,4 12 Trichophyton mentagrophytes,1 2 8 38 41 42 T. rubrum,1 8 38 42 T. tonsurans,1 38 T. verrucosum,42 and T. violaceum.8 38




  • Also has anti-inflammatory activity when applied topically.51 52




  • No reports to date of resistance in organisms originally susceptible to naftifine.60 61



Advice to Patients



  • Importance of completing full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve.1




  • Importance of contacting clinician if improvement does not occur within 4 weeks.1 63




  • Importance of notifying clinician if condition worsens or treated area shows signs of increased irritation.a




  • Importance of applying to affected areas as directed and avoiding contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes.1 63




  • Advise patients to wash their hands after touching the affected areas.a




  • Importance of not using occlusive dressings, unless otherwise directed by clinician.1 63




  • Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs.a




  • Importance of women informing their clinician if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed.a




  • Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information. (See Cautions.)
