Ophthetic



proparacaine hydrochloride

Dosage Form: Ophthalmic Solution 0.5%

Ophthetic Description


Ophthetic® (proparacaine HCI ophthalmic solution) 0.5% is a topical local anesthetic for ophthalmic use.


Structural Formula:




Chemical Name:


Benzoic acid, 3-amino-4-propoxy-, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester, monohydrochloride.



Contains: Active: proparacaine HCl 0.5%. Preservative: benzalkonium chloride (0.01%). Inactives: glycerin; purified water; sodium chloride; and hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH (5.0 to 6.0).



Ophthetic - Clinical Pharmacology


Ophthetic® ophthalmic solution is a rapidly-acting topical anesthetic, with induced anesthesia lasting approximately 10-20 minutes.



Indications and Usage for Ophthetic


Ophthetic® ophthalmic solution is indicated for procedures in which a topical ophthalmic anesthetic is indicated: corneal anesthesia of short duration, e.g., tonometry, gonioscopy, removal of corneal foreign bodies, and for short corneal and conjunctival procedures.



Contraindications


Ophthetic® ophthalmic solution should be considered contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this preparation.



Warnings


Prolonged use of a topical ocular anesthetic is not recommended. It may produce permanent corneal opacification with accompanying visual loss.



Precautions



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:


Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential, mutagenicity, or possible impairment of fertility in males or females.



Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C:


Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Ophthetic® (proparacaine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.5%. It is also not known whether proparacaine hydrochloride can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Proparacaine hydrochloride should be administered to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.



Nursing Mothers:


It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when proparacaine hydrochloride is administered to a nursing mother.



Pediatric Use:


Safety and effectiveness of proparacaine HCl ophthalmic solution in pediatric patients have been established. Use of proparacaine HCl is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults and children over the age of twelve, and safety information in neonates and other pediatric patients.



Geriatric Use:


No overall clinical differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between the elderly and other adult patients.



Adverse Reactions


Occasional temporary stinging, burning and conjunctival redness may occur with the use of proparacaine. A rare, severe, immediate-type, apparently hyperallergic corneal reaction, characterized by acute, intense and diffuse epithelial keratitis, a gray, ground glass appearance, sloughing of large areas of necrotic epithelium, corneal filaments and, sometimes, iritis with descemetitis has been reported.


Allergic contact dermatitis from proparacaine with drying and fissuring of the fingertips has also been reported.



Ophthetic Dosage and Administration



Usual Dosage: Removal of foreign bodies and sutures, and for tonometry: 1 to 2 drops (in single instillations) in each eye before operating.


Short corneal and conjunctival procedures: 1 drop in each eye every 5 to 10 minutes for 5 to 7 doses.



Note: Ophthetic® should be clear to straw-color. If the solution becomes darker, discard the solution.



How is Ophthetic Supplied


Ophthetic® (proparacaine HCI ophthalmic solution) 0.5% is supplied sterile in opaque natural LDPE plastic bottles with dropper tips and white high impact polystyrene (HIPS) caps as follows:

Rynatuss


Pronunciation: car-beta-PEN-tane/klor-fen-EER-a-meen/e-FED-rin/fen-ill-EF-rin
Generic Name: Carbetapentane/Chlorpheniramine/Ephedrine/Phenylephrine
Brand Name: Examples include Quadratuss and Rynatuss


Rynatuss is used for:

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


Rynatuss is a decongestant, antihistamine, and cough suppressant combination. It 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, while the cough suppressant works in the brain to help decrease the cough reflex to reduce a dry cough.


Do NOT use Rynatuss if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Rynatuss

  • 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 sodium oxybate (GHB) or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (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 Rynatuss:


Some medical conditions may interact with Rynatuss. 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 adrenal gland problems (eg, adrenal gland tumor); heart problems; high blood pressure; diabetes; heart blood vessel problems; stroke; glaucoma; a blockage of your bladder, stomach, or intestines; ulcers; trouble urinating; an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems; seizures; or an overactive thyroid

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

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Rynatuss. 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, MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), sodium oxybate (GHB), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because side effects of Rynatuss may be increased

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

  • Bromocriptine or hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because side effects ma y be increased by Rynatuss

  • Guanadrel, guanethidine, mecamylamine, methyldopa, or reserpine because effectiveness may be decreased by Rynatuss

  • Do not take diet or appetite control medicines while you are taking Rynatuss without checking with your doctor.

  • Rynatuss contains phenylephrine. Before you begin taking any new prescription or nonprescription medicine, read the ingredients to see if it also contains phenylephrine. If it does or if you are uncertain, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Do NOT exceed the recommended dose or take Rynatuss for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.

  • If your symptoms do not improve within 5 to 7 days or if they become worse, check with your doctor.

  • Rynatuss may cause increased sensitivity to the sun. Avoid exposure to the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Rynatuss. Use a sunscreen or protective clothing if you must be outside for a prolonged period.

  • If you are scheduled for allergy skin testing, do not take Rynatuss for several days before the test because it may decrease your response to the skin tests.

  • Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using Rynatuss.

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

Before receiving carmustine, tell your doctor if you have bone marrow suppression, liver or kidney disease, or a history of lung or breathing problems.


Carmustine is usually given once every 6 weeks. You may be given either a single injection or multiple injections over a 2-day period. Follow your doctor's dosing instructions very carefully.


Carmustine can cause nausea and vomiting that may last up to 6 hours after your injection. Carmustine can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections. Your blood will need to be tested weekly for at least 6 weeks after you receive a dose of carmustine. Your kidneys, liver, and lung function may also need to be tested. Do not miss any follow-up visits to your doctor.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before receiving BiCNU (carmustine)?

Carmustine can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections. Your blood will need to be tested often. Your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results of these tests. Visit your doctor regularly.


To be sure your blood cells do not get too low, your blood will need to be tested weekly for at least 6 weeks after you receive a dose of carmustine.

Generic Name: Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine
Brand Name: Tripedia


Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine is used for:

Immunizing children 7 years of age and younger against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough).


Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine is a vaccine. It works by providing long-term protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis by stimulating the body to produce antibodies that neutralize the bacterial or their toxins that cause these conditions.


Do NOT use Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, including thimerosal or gelatin

  • you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) or neurologic reaction to any previous dose of this or a similar vaccine

  • you had a decreased level of consciousness, had prolonged seizures, or have been in a coma within 7 days of receiving any pertussis-containing vaccine

  • you have a progressive neurologic disorder including infantile spasms, uncontrolled epilepsy (seizures), or decreasing level of consciousness or coma

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Anticoagulants (eg, heparin, warfarin) because the risk of bleeding may be increased by Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine

  • Immunosuppressive therapy including corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), antimetabolites (eg, methotrexate), alkylating agents (eg, cyclophosphamide), or cytotoxic drugs (eg, dactinomycin) because they may decrease the effectiveness of Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur.
