Dimetapp Allergy Sinus


Generic Name: acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine (a see ta MIH noe fen/brome feh NEER a meen/fen ill proe pa NOLE a meen)

Brand Names: Dimetapp Allergy Sinus, Dimetapp Cold and Flu


What is Dimetapp Allergy Sinus (acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. It is used to treat many conditions, such as headache, muscle aches, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds, and fevers.


Brompheniramine is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Brompheniramine prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.


Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces the blood flow to certain areas, which allows nasal passages to open up.


Acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine is used to treat nasal congestion; itchy, watery eyes; itchy throat; sneezing; headache; fever; and other symptoms associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.


Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.


Acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while taking acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine. Alcohol may also cause damage to the liver when taken with acetaminophen.

Who should not take Dimetapp Allergy Sinus (acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine)?


Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day or if you have had alcoholic liver disease. You may not be able to take acetaminophen if you have these conditions. Do not take acetaminophen/brompheniramine/phenylpropanolamine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have


  • kidney disease,

  • liver disease,


  • diabetes,

What is Banex-LA (guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine)?

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It is used to break up congestion and mucous to make breathing easier. Guaifenesin thins mucous, increases lubrication of the respiratory tract (lungs, nose and throat), and increases the removal of mucous.


Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries), which reduces swelling of mucous membranes in areas such as the nose and sinuses.


Guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine is used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and of infections of the sinuses, lungs, and throat.


Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.

No serious side effects from guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine are expected. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives).

Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine and talk to your doctor if you experience



  • dizziness or headache;




  • nervousness, restlessness, or insomnia;




  • nausea or stomach upset; or




  • difficulty urinating.



Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.


What other drugs will affect Banex-LA (guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine)?


Do not take guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

Heart medications such as methyldopa (Aldomet), reserpine (Serpalan, Serpasil), and guanethidine (Ismelin) may have decreased effects. Talk to your doctor before taking guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine if you are taking any of these medications.


Do not take other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, diet, or sleep aids while taking guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Other medications may also contain guaifenesin, phenylpropanolamine, or other similar drugs. You may accidentally take too much of these medicines.


Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.

RFD Wormer





Dosage Form: FOR ANIMAL USE ONLY
RFD®

(pyrantel pamoate)

LIQUID

WORMER

Easy to administer.



Indications and Usage


For the removal of large roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala) in dogs and puppies. The presence of these parasites should be confirmed by laboratory fecal exam. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.


RFD Liquid Wormer may also be used to prevent reinfestation of T. canis in puppies and adult dogs and in lactating bitches after whelping.


Shake Well Before Use


Active Ingredient: 2.27 mg of pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate per mL.



Recommended Storage


Store below 30°C (86°F).



Warning


Keep out of reach of children.



Dosage and Administration


Administer 1 teaspoon (5 mL) for each 5 lb of body weight. To assure proper dosage, weigh animal prior to treatment. It is not necessary to withhold food prior to treatment. Dogs usually find this dewormer very palatable and will lick the dose from the bowl willingly. If there is reluctance to accept the dose, mix in a small quantity of dog food to encourage consumption. It is recommended that dogs maintained under conditions of constant exposure to worm infestation should have a follow-up fecal exam within 2–4 weeks after first treatment. If your dog looks or acts sick, consult your veterinarian before treatment.


For maximum control and prevention of reinfestation, it is recommended that puppies be treated at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks of age. Lactating bitches should be treated 2–3 weeks after whelping. Adult dogs kept in heavily contaminated quarters may be treated at monthly intervals to prevent T. canis reinfestation.

Brand names: Alphatrex, Beta-Val, Diprolene, Diprolene AF, Diprosone, Luxiq, ...show all 14 brand names.


What is betamethasone topical?

Betamethasone is a topical steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.


Betamethasone topical is used to treat the inflammation caused by a number of conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. The dental paste form of betamethasone is used to treat mouth ulcers.


Betamethasone topical may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about betamethasone topical?


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 for longer than recommended.


Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with betamethasone topical can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Avoid using this medication on your face, near your eyes, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.


Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more sensitive to the effects of betamethasone topical.

Betamethasone topical will not treat a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection.


Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse after using this medication for several days.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using betamethasone topical?


Do not use this medication if you are allergic to betamethasone.

Before using betamethasone topical, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have any type of skin infection.

Betamethasone topical will not treat a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection.


Wash your hands before and after each application, unless you are using betamethasone topical to treat a hand condition.


Apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it gently into the skin.


Avoid using this medication on your face, near your eyes or mouth, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.


If you are using the dental paste, apply the medication in a thin layer, just enough to cover the mouth ulcer. The paste may stick better if you dry the mouth ulcer before applying the medication.


Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with betamethasone topical can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.

It is important to use betamethasone topical regularly to get the most benefit. Store betamethasone topical at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Use the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and use the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not use 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, or if anyone has accidentally swallowed it. An overdose of betamethasone topical applied to the skin is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms.

What should I avoid while using betamethasone topical?


Avoid getting this medication in your eyes, mouth, and nose, or on your lips. If it does get into any of these areas, wash with water. Do not use betamethasone topical on sunburned, windburned, irritated, or broken skin. Also avoid using this medication in open wounds.

Avoid using skin products that can cause irritation, such as harsh soaps or shampoos or skin cleansers, hair coloring or permanent chemicals, hair removers or waxes, or skin products with alcohol, spices, astringents, or lime. Do not use other medicated skin products unless your doctor has told you to.

Minor effects on BP 1 2 8 9 22 23 93 110 121 122 and heart rate reported.1 2 8 9 22 23 93 110


Use with caution in patients with a history of cardiac failure or heart block.1 119 121 Discontinue therapy at the first sign or symptom of cardiac failure.1 119 121


Respiratory Effects

Severe respiratory reactions, including death resulting from bronchospasm, have been reported in patients with asthma receiving topical (ocular) betaxolol.1 2


Increased airway resistance and pulmonary distress (i.e., dyspnea, bronchospasm, thickened bronchial secretions, asthma, respiratory failure) reported.1 21 95 121 122 Use caution in patients with evidence of reactive airway disease on pulmonary function testing or excessive restriction of pulmonary function.1 113 121 122


Sensitivity Reactions


History of Atopy or Anaphylactic Reactions

Possible increased reactivity to repeated accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic challenges with a variety of allergens while taking β-adrenergic blocking agents.a b Such patients may be unresponsive to usual doses of epinephrine used to treat anaphylactic reactions.a b


General Precautions


Diabetes Mellitus

β-Adrenergic blocking agents may mask sings and symptoms of acute hypoglycemia; administer with caution in patients subject to spontaneous hypoglycemia and in diabetic patients (especially those with labile diabetes) who are receiving hypoglycemic agents.1 88 121


Thyrotoxicosis

β-Adrenergic blocking agents may mask signs of hyperthyroidism (e.g., tachycardia).1 121


Possible thyroid storm if β-adrenergic blocking agent is abruptly withdrawn; carefully monitor patients having or suspected of developing thyrotoxicosis.1 121


Muscle Weakness

β-Adrenergic blocking agents reported to potentiate muscle weakness consistent with certain myasthenic symptoms (e.g., diplopia, ptosis, generalized weakness).1 121


Betaxolol reported rarely to increase muscle weakness in patients with myasthenia gravis or myasthenia symptoms.a b


Major Surgery

Possible increased risks associated with general anesthesia (e.g., severe hypotension, difficulty restarting or maintaining heart beat) due to decreased ability of the heart to respond to reflex β-adrenergic stimuli.1 121 Some clinicians recommend gradual withdrawal of β-adrenergic blocking agents prior to elective surgery.1 121


Angle-closure Glaucoma

Betaxolol has little to no effect on pupil size.1 2 8 9 11 12 18 93 99 121 122 Do not use alone in patients with angle-closure glaucoma; use only in combination with a miotic in these patients.1 121
