Blocadren

Generic Name: timolol (Oral route)

TIM-oh-lol

Oral route(Tablet)

Following abrupt cessation of therapy with certain beta-blocking agents, exacerbations of angina pectoris and, in some cases, myocardial infarction have occurred. The dosage should be gradually reduced over a period of 1 to 2 weeks and the patient should be carefully monitored when discontinuing chronic therapy. If angina markedly worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, timolol administration should be reinstated promptly, at least temporarily, and other measures appropriate for the management of unstable angina should be taken. Patients should be warned against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without the physician's advice .

Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.

• Blocadren

Available Dosage Forms:

• Tablet

Therapeutic Class: Cardiovascular Agent

Pharmacologic Class: Beta-Adrenergic Blocker, Nonselective

Uses For Blocadren

Timolol is used alone or together with other medicines (such as hydrochlorothiazide) to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled .

Timolol is also used after an acute heart attack to decrease its severity and prevent another heart attack. It may also be used to help prevent migraine headaches .

This medicine is a beta-blocker. It works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart. As a result, the heart beats slower and decreases the blood pressure. When the blood pressure is lowered, the amount of blood and oxygen is increased to the heart .

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

Before Using Blocadren

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 this medicine, the following should be considered:

Allergies

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine 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

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of timolol in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established .

Geriatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatrics-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of timolol in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require an adjustment of dosage in patients receiving timolol .

Pregnancy

	Pregnancy Category	Explanation
All Trimesters	C	Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

Breast Feeding

Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.

BroveX HC

Generic Name: brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine (brom fen EER a meen, hye droe KOE dohn, soo doe e FED rin)

Brand Names: Anaplex HD, Bromcomp HC, Bromph HD, Bromplex HD, BroveX HC, Drocon-CS, Endacof HC, J-Tan D HC, M-END, SymTan A, Visvex

What is BroveX HC (brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine)?

Brompheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Hydrocodone is in a group of drugs called narcotics and is similar to codeine. Hydrocodone is a cough suppressant that affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

The combination of brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat cough, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, runny nose, stuffy nose, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about BroveX HC (brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine)?

Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Do not take this medication with alcohol, other narcotic pain medications, sedatives, tranquilizers, muscle relaxers, or other medicines that can make you sleepy or slow your breathing. Dangerous side effects may result. Hydrocodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Hydrocodone should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Hydrocodone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription. Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or sleep medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of one or more types of medicine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains an antihistamine, decongestant, or cough suppressant. This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking BroveX HC (brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine)?

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to hydrocodone or other narcotic pain relievers such as fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic), hydromorphone (Dilaudid, Palladone), methadone (Methadose, Dolophine), morphine (Kadian, MS Contin, Oramorph, and others), oxycodone (OxyContin), and oxymorphone (Opana). Do not use a cough or cold medicine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take cough or cold medicine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.

Before taking brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

• 
  

  kidney or liver disease;

  
  


• 
  

  heart disease or high blood pressure;

  
  


• 
  

  enlarged prostate or urination problems;

  
  


• 
  

  diabetes;

  
  


• 
  

  glaucoma;

  
  


• 
  

  a thyroid disorder;

  
  


• 
  

  asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;

  
  


• 
  

  a history of head injury or brain tumor;

  
  


• 
  

  epilepsy or other seizure disorder;

  
  


• 
  

  low blood pressure;

  
  


• 
  

  gallbladder disease;

  
  


• 
  

  Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;

  
  


• 
  

  mental illness; or

  
  


• 
  

  a history of drug or alcohol addiction.

  
  

If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.

FDA pregnancy category C. Hydrocodone may be harmful to an unborn baby, and could cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. This medication may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Hydrocodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Hydrocodone should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Hydrocodone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription.

How should I take BroveX HC (brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine)?

Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Cough or cold medicine is usually taken for only a short time until your symptoms clear up.

Always ask a doctor before giving cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicine in very young children.

Measure the liquid form of this medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.

Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.

If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken a cold medicine within the past few days.

This medication can cause you to have unusual results with allergy skin tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking an antihistamine.

Store this medicine at room temperature, away from heat, light, and moisture.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since cough or cold medicine is usually taken only as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of hydrocodone can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include extreme dizziness or drowsiness, confusion, feeling restless or nervous, cold and clammy skin, warmth or tingly feeling, nausea, vomiting, slow or shallow breathing, slow heart rate, pinpoint pupils, fainting, seizure (convulsions), or coma.

What should I avoid while taking BroveX HC (brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine)?

This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather.

Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication. Alcohol can increase some of the side effects of brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine. Do not take this medication with other narcotic pain medications, sedatives, tranquilizers, muscle relaxers, or other medicines that can make you sleepy or slow your breathing. Life-threatening side effects may result.

Avoid taking diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.

Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or sleep medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Brompheniramine and pseudoephedrine are contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of one or more types of medicine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains brompheniramine or pseudoephedrine.

Brand Names: Orfadin

What is Orfadin (nitisinone)?

Nitisinone is used to treat a rare genetic condition called hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1). HT-1 is a metabolic disorder that occurs when the body does not produce enough of an enzyme that breaks down proteins from certain foods. This condition occurs most often in young babies. The symptoms of HT-1 include unusual bleeding and signs of liver failure, such as dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), sudden stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue.

Nitisinone works by preventing the body from breaking down an amino acid called tyrosine and by keeping other toxic substances from building up and causing harm to your liver or kidneys.

What is the most important information I should know about Orfadin (nitisinone)?

Nitisinone is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes a special diet. It is very important to follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor. You should become very familiar with the list of foods you must avoid to help control your condition.

You may experience side effects that are caused by nitisinone. Similar side effects may also be caused by your diet. Call your doctor immediately if you have jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), unusual bleeding, vision changes, or eye redness, pain, burning, or sensitivity to light.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before taking Orfadin (nitisinone)?

Before taking nitisinone, tell your doctor if you have eye pain, redness, or swelling, or if your eyes are more sensitive to light than usual. You may need to have an eye examination.

While you are taking nitisinone, your doctor may recommend regular visits to check your liver with blood tests and ultrasounds or CT scans.

Some side effects may result from not properly following your diet plan and consuming restricted foods or beverages. Call your doctor if you develop eye redness, pain, burning, or sensitivity to light; painful overgrowth of skin on the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet; changes in behavior; or delayed developmental milestones in a baby such as walking, talking, sitting up, or rolling over. Nitisinone is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether nitisinone will be harmful to an unborn baby. Although it is unlikely that a child taking nitisinone would become pregnant, the medicine may also be used in women of child-bearing age. Do not take nitisinone without telling your doctor if you are pregnant. It is not known whether nitisinone passes into breast milk. Do not use nitisinone without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take Orfadin (nitisinone)?

Take your dose of nitisinone on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal.

To make it easier to swallow the medicine, you may open a capsule and sprinkle the contents into a small amount of water, infant formula, or applesauce. Use this mixture right away and do not keep it for later use.

Store this medication in the refrigerator and do not allow it to freeze.

What should I avoid while taking Orfadin (nitisinone)?

Nitisinone is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes a special diet. It is very important to follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor. You will need to avoid or restrict foods that contain tyrosine or phenylalanine.

Some of the foods that contain tyrosine include cheese, milk, sour cream, beer, wine, distilled liquor, chicken, beef, liver, fish, processed meats (bologna, hot dogs, pepperoni, hard sausages), meat tenderizer, herring or other dried fish, avocados, bananas, carrots, potatoes, oatmeal, brown rice, soy sauce, spinach, tomatoes, bean curd, raisins, red plums, garbanzo beans, soy beans, and almonds.

A major source of phenylalanine is the artificial sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet), which is contained in many diet or sugar-free drinks and food products. Before consuming any packaged food or beverage, carefully read the nutrition label to be sure the product does not contain phenylalanine or have a warning about phenylketonuria.

There are other foods that may contain tyrosine or phenylalanine. Be sure you are familiar with the list of foods you must avoid or restrict to help control your condition.
