Each Ferrex™ 150 Forte Capsule contains:








Elemental Iron (as Polysaccharide Iron)150 mg
Folic Acid1 mg
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)25 mcg

Inactive Ingredients: Citric Acid, Croscarmellose Sodium, Dicalcium Phosphate, FD&C Blue No.1 Lake, FD&C Red No. 40 Lake, Gelatin, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Polyethylene Glycol, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Stearic Acid and Titanium Dioxide.



Ferrex 150 Forte Dosage and Administration


Usual adult dosage is 1 capsule daily, or as directed by a physician.



Indications and Usage for Ferrex 150 Forte


Ferrex™ 150 Forte is indicated for the dietary management of iron deficiency anemia and/or nutritional megaloblastic anemias.



Contraindications


Ferrex™ 150 Forte is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of this product. Hemochromatosis and hemosiderosis are contraindications to iron supplementation.



Warning


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 poison control center immediately.



Precautions

General


Do not exceed recommended dose.


The type of anemia and the underlying cause or causes should be determined before starting Ferrex™ 150 Forte. Since the anemia may be a result of a systemic disturbance, such as recurrent blood loss, the underlying cause or causes should be corrected, if possible.


Folic Acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. Pernicious anemia should be excluded before using this product since folic acid may mask the symptoms of pernicious anemia.



Pediatric Use


Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.



Geriatric Use


Clinical studies on this product have not been performed in subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether elderly subjects respond differently from younger subjects. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.



Adverse Reactions


Adverse reactions with iron supplementation may include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dark stools and abdominal pain. Adverse reactions with iron therapy are usually transient.


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



Overdosage


The clinical course of acute iron overdosage can be variable. Initial symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tarry stools, melena, hematemesis, hypotension, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, dehydration, drowsiness, pallor, cyanosis, lassitude, seizures, shock and coma.

Tylenol Childrens Plus Cough & Sore Throat


Generic Name: acetaminophen and dextromethorphan (a SEET a MIN oh fen and DEX troe me THOR fan)

Brand Names: Children's Triacting, Triaminic Cough & Sore Throat Softchews, Tylenol Cough and Sore Throat Daytime


What is Tylenol Childrens Plus Cough & Sore Throat (acetaminophen and dextromethorphan)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.


Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.


The combination of acetaminophen and dextromethorphan is used to treat cough and pain or fever caused by the common cold or flu.


Acetaminophen and dextromethorphan may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Tylenol Childrens Plus Cough & Sore Throat (acetaminophen and dextromethorphan)?


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 use this medication 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. Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can cause damage to your liver. Do not use any other cough, cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of a certain drug. Read the label of any other medicine you take to see if it contains acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as "APAP") or dextromethorphan. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase the risk of liver damage while you are taking acetaminophen. If you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day, do not take acetaminophen without your doctor's advice, and never take more than 2 grams (2000 mg) per day. Dextromethorphan will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Tylenol Childrens Plus Cough & Sore Throat (acetaminophen and dextromethorphan)?


Do not take this medication if you are allergic to acetaminophen or dextromethorphan. Do not use a cough 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 a cough medicine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. Dextromethorphan will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist about taking this medication if you have:



  • liver disease;




  • alcoholism or cirrhosis of the liver; or




  • emphysema or chronic bronchitis.




This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. 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.

Artificially-sweetened liquid forms of cough medicine may contain phenylalanine. This would be important to know if you have phenylketonuria (PKU). Check the ingredients and warnings on the medication label if you are concerned about phenylalanine.


How should I take Tylenol Childrens Plus Cough & Sore Throat (acetaminophen and dextromethorphan)?


Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended. Cough medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.


An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious harm. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. Taking more acetaminophen could cause damage to your liver. One dose of the oral liquid may contain up to 1000 mg of acetaminophen. Know the amount of acetaminophen in the specific product you are taking. 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.

Measure the liquid form of this medication 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.


Drink extra fluids while you are taking this medication. 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 cough medicine within the past few days.


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

What happens if I miss a dose?


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.

The first signs of an acetaminophen overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.


Overdose symptoms may also include dizziness, drowsiness, feeling restless or nervous, diarrhea, loss of appetite, seizure (convulsions), or coma.


What should I avoid while taking Tylenol Childrens Plus Cough & Sore Throat (acetaminophen and dextromethorphan)?


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. Do not use any other cough, cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Acetaminophen and dextromethorphan are contained in many combination medicines. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of a certain drug. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as "APAP") or dextromethorphan. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase the risk of liver damage while you are taking acetaminophen. If you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day, do not take acetaminophen without your doctor's advice, and never take more than 2 grams (2000 mg) of acetaminophen per day.

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

Fludarabine Tablets


Pronunciation: floo-DAYR-a-been
Generic Name: Fludarabine
Brand Name: Oforta

Some patients who received high doses of Fludarabine to treat acute leukemia developed severe nervous system side effects, including blindness, coma, and death. Similar nervous system side effects, including coma, seizures, agitation, and confusion, have occurred in patients at doses recommended for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Contact your doctor right away if any of these effects occur.


Fludarabine may severely decrease bone marrow function. This can lower your body's ability to fight infection and reduce the ability of your blood to clot properly. Some patients have developed severe and sometimes fatal blood problems (eg, hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, hemophilia) while using Fludarabine. Your doctor will need to monitor you closely for these conditions. Tell your doctor right away if you develop signs or symptoms of an infection (eg, swollen glands, sore throat, fever, chills), bleeding problems (eg, easy bruising; black, tarry stools; bleeding from the gums), or hemolytic anemia (eg, yellowing of eyes or skin, dark urine, severe tiredness or weakness). Be sure to keep all doctor and laboratory appointments.


Fatal lung problems have been reported in patients receiving Fludarabine along with pentostatin. Fludarabine is not recommended for use with pentostatin.





Fludarabine is used for:

Treating patients with certain types of leukemia who have not responded to other therapy or whose disease has progressed during treatment with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Fludarabine is an antimetabolite. It works by preventing the cancer cell from reproducing, which results in death of the cell.


Do NOT use Fludarabine if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Fludarabine

  • you are taking pentostatin

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



Before using Fludarabine:


Some medical conditions may interact with Fludarabine. 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 bone marrow problems, blood or bleeding problems, kidney problems, immune system problems, nervous system problems, infections, or skin cancer

  • if you receive other chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or you have received radiation or chemotherapy in the past

  • if you will be having a blood transfusion

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


  • Pentostatin because the risk of fatal lung problems may be increased

  • Digoxin because its effectiveness may be decreased by Fludarabine

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Fludarabine 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 Fludarabine:


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


  • An extra patient leaflet is available with Fludarabine. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.

  • Take Fludarabine by mouth with or without food. Take it with plenty of water.

  • Swallow Fludarabine whole. Do not break, crush, chew, or hold it in your mouth before swallowing.

  • Do not remove the tablet from the blister until immediately before you take your dose. Push the tablet through the foil to remove it from the blister.

  • Ask your doctor how you should safely handle Fludarabine. Do not get Fludarabine on your skin. If contact occurs, wash well with soap and water. Tell your doctor if you develop a skin reaction from Fludarabine.

  • Do not get any dust from Fludarabine in your eyes or nose. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with gently flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Tell your doctor if you get Fludarabine in your eyes.

  • If you no longer need Fludarabine, do not throw it in the trash. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to safely dispose of it.

  • If you miss a dose of Fludarabine, contact your doctor right away.

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



Important safety information:


  • Fludarabine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, weakness, vision problems, confusion, agitation, or seizures. Some of these effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Fludarabine with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, you will need to take care not to become dehydrated. Contact your doctor for instructions.

  • Fludarabine may reduce the number of clot-forming cells (platelets) in your blood. Avoid activities that may cause bruising or injury. Tell your doctor if you have unusual bruising or bleeding. Tell your doctor if you have dark, tarry, or bloody stools.

  • Fludarabine may lower the ability of your body to fight infection and may increase the risk of severe and sometimes fatal infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or infections. Tell your doctor if you notice signs of infection like fever, sore throat, rash, or chills.

  • Do not receive a live vaccine (eg, measles, mumps) during or after treatment with Fludarabine. Talk with your doctor before you receive any vaccine.

  • New or worsening skin cancer has been reported with Fludarabine. Tell your doctor if you have a history of skin cancer. Contact your doctor right away if you notice a change in the appearance of a mole, new growth on the skin, or any unusual skin change.

  • A severe and possibly fatal nervous system problem (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PML]) has been reported in patients who use Fludarabine. This has been reported to develop between a few weeks and as long as about 1 year after starting treatment. Many of these patients were also taking other chemotherapy or had received other chemotherapy in the past. Contact your doctor right away if you develop signs of PML, such as trouble walking or talking, confusion, vision problems, or vision loss.

  • Men who may father a child and women who may become pregnant must use an effective form of birth control while using Fludarabine and for 6 months after stopping treatment. If you have questions about effective birth control, talk with your doctor.

  • Lab tests, including complete blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Fludarabine. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Fludarabine should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Fludarabine has been shown to cause harm to the fetus. Avoid becoming pregnant while you use it and for 6 months after you stop treatment. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Fludarabine while you are pregnant. It is not known if Fludarabine is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Fludarabine.

Fluocinonide - Clinical Pharmacology



Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive actions.


The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids is unclear. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man.



Pharmacokinetics


The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings.


Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. Thus, occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolized primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. Some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile.



Indications and Usage for Fluocinonide


Fluocinonide Cream USP, 0.05%, Fluocinonide Cream USP, 0.05% (Emulsified Base), Fluocinonide Gel USP, 0.05% and Fluocinonide Ointment USP, 0.05% are indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.



Contraindications


Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparations.



Precautions



General


Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients.


Conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings.


Therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression by using the urinary free cortisol and ACTH stimulation tests. If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent steroid.


Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug. Infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, requiring supplemental systemic corticosteroids.


Children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity (see PRECAUTIONS - Pediatric Use). If irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.


As with any topical corticosteroid product, prolonged use may produce atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. When used on intertriginous or flexor areas, or on the face, this may occur even with short-term use.


In the presence of dermatological infections, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted. If a favorable response does not occur promptly, the corticosteroid should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.



Information for the Patient


Patients using topical corticosteroids should receive the following information and instructions:


  1. This medication is to be used as directed by the physician. It is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.

  2. Patients should be advised not to use this medication for any disorder other than for which it was prescribed.

  3. The treated skin area should not be bandaged or otherwise covered or wrapped as to be occlusive unless directed by the physician.

  4. Patients should report any signs of local adverse reactions, especially under occlusive dressing.

  5. Parents of pediatric patients should be advised not to use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants on a child being treated in the diaper area, as these garments may constitute occlusive dressings.


Laboratory Tests


The following tests may be helpful in evaluating the HPA axis suppression:


 

Urinary free cortisol test

 

ACTH stimulation test


Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility


Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential or the effect on fertility of topical corticosteroids.


Studies to determine mutagenicity with prednisolone and hydrocortisone have revealed negative results.



Pregnancy Category C


Corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. The more potent corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. Therefore, topical corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively on pregnant patients, in large amounts, or for prolonged periods of time.



Nursing Mothers


It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Systemically administered corticosteroids are secreted into breast milk in quantities not likely to have a deleterious effect on the infant. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when topical corticosteroids are administered to a nursing woman.



Pediatric Use


Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical corticosteroid-induced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome than mature patients because of a larger skin surface area to body weight ratio.


HPA axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.


Administration of topical corticosteroids to children should be limited to the least amount compatible with an effective therapeutic regimen. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of children.



Adverse Reactions


The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids, but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence:






 

Burning

 

Itching

 

Irritation

 

Dryness

 

Folliculitis


 

Hypertrichosis

 

Acneiform Eruptions

 

Hypopigmentation

 

Perioral Dermatitis

 

Allergic Contact Dermatitis


 

Maceration of the Skin

 

Secondary Infection

 

Skin Atrophy

 

Striae

 

Miliaria


Overdosage


Topically applied corticosteroids can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects (see PRECAUTIONS).
