Demi-Regroton


Generic Name: chlorthalidone and reserpine (klor THAL i done and re SER peen)

Brand Names: Demi-Regroton, Regroton


What is Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?

Reserpine lowers blood pressure by decreasing the levels of certain chemicals in your blood. This allows your blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and your heart to beat more slowly and easily.


Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It helps to lower your blood pressure and decrease edema (swelling) by increasing the amount of salt and water you lose in your urine.


Together, chlorthalidone and reserpine are used to lower high blood pressure.


Chlorthalidone and reserpine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?


Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. Chlorthalidone and reserpine may make you feel dizzy. Do not stop taking chlorthalidone and reserpine suddenly. Even if you feel better, you need this medication to control your condition. Stopping suddenly could cause severe high blood pressure, anxiety, and other dangerous side effects.

Tell your doctor and dentist that you are taking this medication before having surgery.


Who should not take Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?


Do not take chlorthalidone and reserpine if you have an allergy to sulfa-based drugs such as sulfa antibiotics. You may have an allergic reaction to chlorthalidone.

You must not take chlorthalidone and reserpine if you



  • have peptic ulcer disease (stomach ulcers);




  • have ulcerative colitis;




  • are suffering from depression (especially if you have suicidal thoughts);




  • are receiving electroconvulsive shock therapy; or




  • are receiving a monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate).



Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have



  • gallstones or other stomach problems,



  • kidney or liver disease,


  • diabetes,




  • gout,




  • a collagen vascular disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus,




  • high cholesterol or triglyceride levels,




  • pancreatitis,




  • asthma, or




  • any type of heart disease.



You may require a lower dose or special monitoring during therapy with chlorthalidone and reserpine if you have any of the conditions listed above.


Chlorthalidone and reserpine is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether chlorthalidone and reserpine will harm an unborn baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. Chlorthalidone and reserpine passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing infant. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. If you are over 60 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from chlorthalidone and reserpine therapy. You may require a lower dose of this medication. Chlorthalidone and reserpine has not been approved for use by children.

How should I take Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?


Take chlorthalidone and reserpine exactly as directed. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.


Take each dose with a full glass of water. Take chlorthalidone and reserpine with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.

Do not stop taking chlorthalidone and reserpine suddenly. Stopping suddenly could make your condition much worse or cause very serious side effects.


Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical treatment.

Symptoms of a chlorthalidone and reserpine overdose include low blood pressure (fainting, dizziness, weakness); sleepiness; uncontrollable hand, arm, or leg movements; a slow pulse; low body temperature; diarrhea; increased urination; vomiting; and slow breathing.


What should I avoid while taking Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?


Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and will decrease the effects of chlorthalidone.


Use caution when arising from a sitting or lying position, especially first thing in the morning. You may become dizzy while taking chlorthalidone and reserpine, and you may fall and injure yourself if you get up quickly.

Do not let yourself become overheated in hot weather or during exercise, and use caution if you have a fever. These situations increase the effects of chlorthalidone and reserpine in your body, and you may become very dizzy.


Also, chlorthalidone may increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable. Avoid alcohol while taking chlorthalidone and reserpine. Alcohol, which will further lower your blood pressure, will also increase the drowsiness caused by chlorthalidone and reserpine and may increase dizziness. Use caution even with small amounts of alcohol.

Do not take any over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, sleep, or diet medications without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. These medicines will interfere with your chlorthalidone and reserpine therapy.


Use caution when you are driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities until you know how chlorthalidone and reserpine affects you. If it makes you dizzy or drowsy, avoid these activities.

Tell your doctor and dentist that you are taking this medication before having surgery.

  • oral antidiabetic drugs such as Glipizide (Glucotrol), glyburide (Micronase, Glynase, Diabeta), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), tolazamide (Tolinase) and tolbutamide (Orinase), which may not lower your blood sugar as well (your diabetes therapy may have to be adjusted);




  • lithium (Lithobid, Eskalith), should not be taken with chlorthalidone because serious side effects may result; or




  • other drugs that also lower blood pressure, including acebutolol (Sectral), atenolol (Tenormin), bisoprolol (Zebeta), carteolol (Cartrol), labetalol (Trandate, Normodyne), propranolol (Inderal), pindolol (Visken), timolol (Blocadren), benazepril (Lotensin), enalapril (Vasotec), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), amlodipine (Norvasc), bepridil (Vascor), diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor), felodipine (Plendil), isradipine (Dynacirc), nicardipine (Cardene), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), nimodipine (Nimotop), and verapamil (Calan, Verelan, Isoptin).

Cerisa Wash



sulfacetamide sodium and sulfur

Dosage Form: lotion
CERISA™ WASH

(Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfur 1%)


Rx only



Cerisa Wash Description


Each gram of CERISA™ WASH contains 100mg of Sodium Sulfacetamide and 10mg of Sulfur in a wash containing Butylated Hydroxytolulene, Cetyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-l00 Stearate, Lactic Acid, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Purified Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Thiosulfate, Stearyl alcohol, White Petrolatum and Xanthan Gum.


Sodium Sulfacetamide is a sulfonamide with antibacterial activity while sulfur acts as a keratolytic agent. Chemically, Sodium Sulfacetamide is N-{(4-aminophenyl) sulfony}-acetamide, monosodium salt, monohydrate.


The structural formula is:




Cerisa Wash - Clinical Pharmacology


The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides in the Woods-Fildes theory which is based on the fact that sulfonamides act as competitive antagonists to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an essential component for bacterial growth. While absorption through intact skin has not been determined, Sodium Sulfacetamide is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and excreted in the urine, largely unchanged. The biological half-life has variously been reported as 7 to 12.8 hours.


The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is unknown, but it has been reported that it inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and the formation of free fatty acids.



Indications and Usage for Cerisa Wash


CERISA™ WASH is indicated in the topical control of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis.



Contraindications


CERISA™ WASH is contraindicated for use by patients having known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, sulfur or any other component of this preparation. CERISA™ WASH is not to be used by patients with kidney disease.



Warnings


Although rare, sensitivity to Sodium Sulfacetamide may occur. Therefore, caution and careful supervision should be observed when prescribing this drug for patients who may be prone to hypersensitivity to topical sulfonamides. Systemic toxic reactions such as agranulocytosis, acute hemolytic anemia, purpura hemorrhagica, drug fever, jaundice, and contact dermatitis indicate hypersensitivity to sulfonamides. Particular caution should be employed if areas of denuded or abraded skin are involved. FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Keep out of reach of children. Keep tube tightly closed.



Precautions



General


If irritation develops, use of the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Patients should be very carefully observed for possible local irritation or sensitization during long-term therapy. The object of this therapy is to achieve desquamation without irritation, but sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur can cause reddening and scaling of the epidermis. These side effects are not unusual in the treatment of acne vulgaris, but patients should be cautioned about the possibility.



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis an Impairment of Fertility


Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential.



Pregnancy


Category C

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with CERISA™ WASH. It is also not known whether CERISA™ WASH can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. CERISA™ WASH should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.



Nursing Mothers


It is not known whether sodium sulfacetamide is excreted in human milk following topical use of CERISA™ WASH. However, small amounts of orally administered sulfonamides have been reported to be eliminated in human milk. In view of this and because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when CERISA™ WASH is administered to a nursing woman.



Pediatric Use


Safety and effectiveness in children under the age of 12 have not been established.



Adverse Reactions


Although rare, sodium sulfacetamide may cause local irritation.



Cerisa Wash Dosage and Administration


Wash affected areas once or twice daily, or as directed by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes. Wet skin and liberally apply to areas to be treated, massage gently into skin for 10-20 seconds working into a full lather, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. If dying occurs, it may be controlled by rinsing wash off sooner or using less often.



How is Cerisa Wash Supplied


CERISA™ WASH is available in 170.1g (6.0 oz) tubes,NDC 58980-330-61.



Store at controlled room temperature: 15°-30° C (59°-86° F)

Generic Name: chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine (klor feh NEER a meen, dex tro meh THOR fan, and soo doe eh FEH drin)

What is Dicel DM (chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?

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


Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It 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 chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, cough, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.


Dextromethorphan will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
