Uses For Depocyt

Liposomal cytarabine belongs to the group of medicines known as antineoplastics. It is used to treat cancer of the lymph system that has spread to the brain.

Liposomal cytarabine interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by the medicine, other effects may also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Some effects may occur after treatment with liposomal cytarabine has been stopped.

Before you begin treatment with liposomal cytarabine, you and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.

Liposomal cytarabine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.

Before Using Depocyt

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

Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of liposomal cytarabine in children with use in other age groups.

Geriatric

Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of liposomal cytarabine in the elderly with use in other age groups.

Pregnancy

Dulera Inhalation Aerosol

Pronunciation: moe-MET-a-sone/for-MOE-ter-ol
Generic Name: Mometasone/Formoterol
Brand Name: Dulera

Long-acting beta-agonists such as one of the active ingredients in Dulera Inhalation Aerosol (formoterol) have been rarely associated with an increased risk of asthma-related death. They may also increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalizations in CHILDREN and TEENAGERS. Dulera Inhalation Aerosol should only be used to treat asthma patients who are not controlled by using other long-term asthma-control medicine. Dulera Inhalation Aerosol should not be used in patients whose asthma is well controlled by inhaled corticosteroids.

Dulera Inhalation Aerosol is used for:

Treating asthma in certain patients. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Dulera Inhalation Aerosol is a combination of a corticosteroid and a long-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator. The corticosteroid works by decreasing inflammation in the lungs. The long-acting beta-agonist works by widening the airways in the lungs, which helps you breathe more easily.

Do NOT use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Dulera Inhalation Aerosol


• you are using another medicine that has a long-acting beta-agonist (eg, salmeterol) in it


• you are having an asthma attack (eg, sudden, severe onset or worsening of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath)


• you have asthma that is already well controlled with the use of a long-term asthma-control medicine (eg, inhaled corticosteroid)

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

Before using Dulera Inhalation Aerosol:

Some medical conditions may interact with Dulera Inhalation Aerosol. 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 diabetes, heart problems (eg, fast, slow or irregular heartbeat, heart blood vessel problems), high blood pressure, high blood acid levels (ketoacidosis), low blood potassium levels, seizures, tuberculosis, a weakened immune system, liver problems, or thyroid problems


• if you have weakened bones (eg, osteoporosis), a family history of weakened bones, or have other risk factors of weak bones (eg, smoking, poor nutrition, you take certain medicines that weaken bones)


• if you have a history of eye problems (eg, glaucoma, cataracts, increased eye pressure)


• if you have diarrhea; a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection; a viral infection (eg, chickenpox, measles); herpes infection of the eye; or a lung infection (eg, pneumonia)


• if you have recently been to an emergency room for asthma, have a history of frequent hospitalizations for asthma, or have ever had a life-threatening asthma attack


• if you have had an unusual reaction to a sympathomimetic medicine (eg, albuterol, pseudoephedrine), such as fast or irregular heartbeat, overexcitement, or severe trouble sleeping


• if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) or a tricyclic antidepressant (eg, amitriptyline), or if you have taken either of these medicines within the last 14 days

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

• Beta-agonists (eg, albuterol), corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), or xanthines (eg, theophylline) because the risk of low blood potassium or irregular heartbeat may be increased


• Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), HIV protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir, indinavir, ritonavir), linezolid, other long-acting beta-agonists (eg, salmeterol), macrolide antibiotics (eg, clarithromycin), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (eg, phenelzine), nefazodone, telithromycin, or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Dulera Inhalation Aerosol's side effects


• Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because they may decrease Dulera Inhalation Aerosol's effectiveness or worsen your condition

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

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

• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Dulera Inhalation Aerosol refilled.


• You will need to prime the inhaler before using it for the first time, any time it has not been used for more than 5 days, or if it has been dropped. To prime the inhaler, point it away from you and others. Spray 4 times, shaking well before each spray.


• Be sure that the canister is properly placed in the inhaler unit. Shake well before each use. Remove the mouthpiece cover. Check the mouthpiece for foreign objects. Breathe out slowly and completely. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and try to rest your tongue flat, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. Your doctor may have told you to hold the inhaler 1 or 2 inches (2 or 3 centimeters) away from the open mouth or to use a special spacing device. As you start to take a slow, deep breath, press the canister and mouthpiece together at exactly the same time. This will release a dose of Dulera Inhalation Aerosol. Continue breathing in slowly and deeply and hold for as long as comfortable up to 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly through your nose while keeping your lips closed. If more than 1 inhalation is to be used, wait at least 30 seconds and repeat the above steps. Keep the spray away from your eyes. Close the mouthpiece cover after each use.


• Rinse your mouth with water after you finish using the medicine (do not swallow). This will help remove excess medicine and decrease your risk of developing an oral fungal infection.


• Wipe the mouthpiece clean with a dry cloth at least once a week.


• Use the new inhaler that comes with each refill. Do not reuse an old inhaler. Do not use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol with a different kind of inhaler.


• Never wash the mouthpiece or any other part of the inhaler with water. Keep it dry and always store in a dry place. Do NOT try to take the inhaler apart.


• This inhaler contains 124 sprays. A dose counter shows how many puffs are left in the inhaler. Do not use this inhaler after 124 sprays have been used (when the counter on the inhaler says "0"). The inhaler may not feel empty, but you will not get the correct amount of medicine with each spray if you continue to use it.


• Continue to use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.


• If you miss a dose of Dulera Inhalation Aerosol, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol.

Important safety information:

• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol is for oral inhalation only. Do not spray in the eyes. If you get Dulera Inhalation Aerosol in the eyes, rinse immediately with cool tap water. If eye redness and irritation continue, contact your doctor.


• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you use it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.


• Some patients may have trouble using Dulera Inhalation Aerosol correctly. Some may also get mouth sores or a bad taste in the mouth after using it. If you have any of these problems, ask your health care provider if a spacing device may help.


• The risk of serious heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat) may be greater if you use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol in high doses. Do NOT use more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.


• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol should be used to treat asthma only if your asthma is not well controlled while you are using a certain long-term asthma-control medicine (eg, inhaled corticosteroid) or if you have severe asthma. Contact your doctor if you have questions about this information.


• Use caution if you switch from an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) to Dulera Inhalation Aerosol. It may take several months for your body to make enough natural steroids to handle events that cause physical stress. Such events may include injury, surgery, infection, loss of blood electrolytes, or a sudden asthma attack. These may be severe and sometimes fatal. Contact your doctor right away if any of these events occur. You may need to take an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) again. Carry a card at all times that says you may need an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) if any of these events occur.


• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol may lower the ability of your body to fight 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.


• If you have not had chickenpox, shingles, or measles, avoid contact with anyone who does. Tell your doctor right away if you are exposed to anyone who has these infections.


• Do not receive a live vaccine (eg, measles, mumps) while you are taking Dulera Inhalation Aerosol. Talk with your doctor before you receive any vaccine.


• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol will not stop an asthma attack once it has already started. Be sure to carry a short-acting bronchodilator inhaler (eg, albuterol) with you at all times to treat any breathing problems that may occur between doses of Dulera Inhalation Aerosol (eg, severe or sudden onset of wheezing or shortness of breath). If you have any questions about which medicines stop asthma attacks, check with your doctor or pharmacist.


• If you have been regularly using a short-acting bronchodilator inhaler (eg, albuterol), talk with your doctor about how to use it with Dulera Inhalation Aerosol. Short-acting bronchodilators are normally only used with Dulera Inhalation Aerosol to treat breathing problems that may occur between doses.


• Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Dulera Inhalation Aerosol before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.


• If your symptoms do not get better within 1 to 2 weeks of starting Dulera Inhalation Aerosol or if they get worse, contact your doctor right away.


• Tell your doctor at once if you notice that your short-acting bronchodilator inhaler does not work as well, if you need to use it often (eg, 4 or more times a day for more than 2 days in a row, more than 1 canister in 8 weeks), or if you have a decrease in your peak flow meter results.


• Contact your doctor or seek medical care right away if you have breathing problems that worsen quickly or if you use your short-acting bronchodilator and do not get relief.


• Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about all of your asthma medicines and how to use them. Your doctor may make changes to your asthma-control medicines once your asthma is well controlled. Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any asthma medicine unless your doctor tells you to.


• The medicine may sometimes cause breathing problems right after you use a dose. If this happens, use your short-acting bronchodilator. Contact your doctor or seek other medical care at once.


• Lab tests, including lung function, blood pressure, and eye exams, may be performed while you use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.


• Use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially weakened bones.


• Corticosteroids may affect the growth rate in CHILDREN and teenagers in some cases. They may need regular growth checks while they use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol.


• Dulera Inhalation Aerosol should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 12 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.


• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is not known if Dulera Inhalation Aerosol can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Dulera Inhalation Aerosol while you are pregnant. It is not known if Dulera Inhalation Aerosol is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Dulera Inhalation Aerosol, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.

How should I take diphenhydramine?

Take diphenhydramine exactly as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor. 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.

Diphenhydramine can be taken with or without food.

For motion sickness, a dose is usually taken 30 minutes before motion, then with meals and at bedtime for the duration of exposure.

As a sleep aid, diphenhydramine should be taken approximately 30 minutes before bedtime.

To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid forms of diphenhydramine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular tablespoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.

Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. The maximum amount of diphenhydramine that you should take in any 24-hour period is 300 mg.

Store diphenhydramine 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 the next dose, skip the missed dose and take only the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected.

Symptoms of a diphenhydramine overdose include extreme sleepiness, confusion, weakness, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, large pupils, dry mouth, flushing, fever, shaking, insomnia, hallucinations, and possibly seizures.

What should I avoid while taking diphenhydramine?

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Diphenhydramine 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 diphenhydramine.

Diphenhydramine side effects

Stop taking diphenhydramine and 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 diphenhydramine and talk to your doctor if you experience

• 
  

  sleepiness, fatigue, or dizziness;

  
  


• 
  

  headache;

  
  


• 
  

  dry mouth; or

  
  


• 
  

  difficulty urinating or an enlarged prostate.

  
  

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
