ThyroSafe


Pronunciation: poe-TASS-ee-uhm EYE-oh-dide
Generic Name: Potassium Iodide
Brand Name: Examples include Iosat and ThyroSafe

Take ThyroSafe only as recommended. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or take ThyroSafe more often than recommended. Taking too much of ThyroSafe may increase the risk of side effects. Do NOT take ThyroSafe if you are allergic to iodine.





ThyroSafe is used for:

Protecting the thyroid gland from the toxic effects of radioactive iodine. ThyroSafe should only be used in a nuclear radiation emergency.


ThyroSafe is a thyroid blocking agent. It works by blocking or reducing the chances that radioactive iodine, which may be breathed in or swallowed during a nuclear emergency, will enter the thyroid gland and cause damage.


Do NOT use ThyroSafe if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in ThyroSafe or to iodine

  • you have high blood levels of urea or other nitrogenous substances (azotemia), certain skin or blood vessel problems (dermatitis herpetiformis, hypocomplementemic vasculitis), decreased urination (oliguria), or high blood potassium levels

  • you have abnormal growths on the thyroid gland (nodular thyroid disease) and you have heart disease

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



Before using ThyroSafe:


Some medical conditions may interact with ThyroSafe. 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 kidney problems

  • if you have a history of thyroid problems

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


  • Lithium because the risk of hypothyroidism (low thyroid levels) may be increased

  • Aldosterone blockers (eg, eplerenone), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, captopril), potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, spironolactone), or potassium supplements because the risk of serious side effects, including high blood potassium and irregular heartbeat, may be increased

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


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


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

  • Take ThyroSafe by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.

  • Do NOT remove the tablets from the foil package until you are ready to take ThyroSafe.

  • Swallow ThyroSafe whole. If you cannot swallow the tablet whole, it may be crushed and mixed with liquid.

  • To prepare a liquid mixture with ThyroSafe: Place 1 tablet into a small bowl and grind it into a fine powder using the back of a metal spoon against the inside of the bowl. Add 4 teaspoonfuls (20 mL) of water to the crushed powder and mix until the powder is dissolved. Take the mixture and mix it with 4 teaspoonfuls (20 mL) of low-fat white or chocolate milk, orange juice, flat soda, raspberry syrup, or infant formula. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about how to prepare the liquid mixture.
    • This mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Discard any unused portion.

    • Take the exact recommended dose. Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.


  • If you are instructed to take more than 1 dose of ThyroSafe, do NOT take it sooner than 24 hours after the last dose of ThyroSafe. Do NOT take more than 1 dose per day.

  • If you miss a dose of ThyroSafe, take it as soon as possible. If you are instructed to take more than 1 dose of ThyroSafe and it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do NOT take 2 doses at once.

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



Important safety information:


  • Do NOT take more than the recommended dose, or take ThyroSafe more often or longer than recommended. Taking too much of ThyroSafe may increase the risk of serious side effects.

  • Do not use a salt substitute or a potassium supplement without checking with your doctor.

  • Stop taking ThyroSafe and contact your health care provider if any of the following signs of iodine poisoning occur: burning of the mouth or throat, severe headache, metallic taste in the mouth, soreness of the teeth and gums, irritation of the eyes with swelling of the eyelids, or increased salivation.

  • Caution is advised when using ThyroSafe in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: ThyroSafe may cause harm to the fetus. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of taking ThyroSafe while you are pregnant. ThyroSafe is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you take ThyroSafe, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.


Possible side effects of ThyroSafe:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Diarrhea; mild fever; mild headache; nausea; stomach pain; vomiting.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; difficulty breathing, speaking, or swallowing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the feet, hands, mouth, face, lips, throat, or tongue; wheezing or shortness of breath); chest pain; confusion; fever with joint pain; irregular heartbeat; metallic taste in the mouth; mouth sores; numbness or tingling of the hands or feet; swollen glands in the mouth (salivary glands).

Triaminic Multi-Sympton


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

Brand Names: AccuHist PDX Drops, Atuss DS, Children's NyQuil, Creomulsion Cough/Cold/Allergy, Creomulsion Pediatric, Dicel DM, Dicel DM Chewables, Entre-S, Esocor P, Kidcare Cough and Cold, M-End DM, Mesehist DM, Neutrahist PDX Drops, Nyquil Child Cough and Cold, Pediatric Cough & Cold Medicine, Rescon-DM, Robitussin Pediatric Night Relief, Robitussin PM Cough & Cold, Triaminic Cold and Cough, Triaminic Multi-Sympton, Triaminic Night Time, Triaminic Softchew Cold and Cough, Triaminic-D Multi-Symptom Cold, Vicks 44M Pediatric, Vicks Pediatric Formula 44M


What is Triaminic Multi-Sympton (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.

Tessalon



benzonatate

Dosage Form: capsule
Tessalon (benzonatate, USP)

100 mg Pereles

200 mg Capsules

Rx Only

Tessalon Description


Tessalon, a non-narcotic oral antitussive agent, is 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26-nonaoxaoctacosan-28-yl p-(butylamino) benzoate; with a molecular weight of 603.7.



Each Tessalon Perle contains:


Benzonatate, USP 100 mg


Each Tessalon Capsule contains:


Benzonatate, USP 200 mg


Tessalon Capsules also contain: D&C Yellow 10, gelatin, glycerin, methylparaben and propylparaben.



Tessalon - Clinical Pharmacology


Tessalon acts peripherally by anesthetizing the stretch receptors located in the respiratory passages, lungs, and pleura by dampening their activity and thereby reducing the cough reflex at its source. It begins to act within 15 to 20 minutes and its effect lasts for 3 to 8 hours. Tessalon has no inhibitory effect on the respiratory center in recommended dosage.



Indications and Usage for Tessalon


Tessalon is indicated for the symptomatic relief of cough.



Contraindications


Hypersensitivity to benzonatate or related compounds.



Warnings



Hypersensitivity


Severe hypersensitivity reactions (including bronchospasm, laryngospasm and cardiovascular collapse) have been reported which are possibly related to local anesthesia from sucking or chewing the capsule instead of swallowing it. Severe reactions have required intervention with vasopressor agents and supportive measures.



Psychiatric Effects


Isolated instances of bizarre behavior, including mental confusion and visual hallucinations, have also been reported in patients taking Tessalon in combination with other prescribed drugs.



Accidental Ingestion and Death in Children


Keep Tessalon out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion of Tessalon resulting in death has been reported in children below age 10. Signs and symptoms of overdose have been reported within 15-20 minutes and death has been reported within one hour of ingestion. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek medical attention immediately (see OVERDOSAGE).



Precautions


Benzonatate is chemically related to anesthetic agents of the para-amino-benzoic acid class (e.g. procaine; tetracaine) and has been associated with adverse CNS effects possibly related to a prior sensitivity to related agents or interaction with concomitant medication.



Information for Patients


Swallow Tessalon Capsules and Perles whole. Do not break, chew, dissolve, cut, or crush Tessalon Capsules and Perles. Release of Tessalon from the capsule in the mouth can produce a temporary local anesthesia of the oral mucosa and choking could occur. If numbness or tingling of the tongue, mouth, throat, or face occurs, refrain from oral ingestion of food or liquids until the numbness has resolved. If the symptoms worsen or persist, seek medical attention.


Keep Tessalon out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion resulting in death has been reported in children. Signs and symptoms of overdose have been reported within 15-20 minutes and death has been reported within one hour of ingestion. Signs and symptoms may include restlessness, tremors, convulsions, coma and cardiac arrest. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek medical attention immediately.


Overdosage resulting in death may occur in adults.


Do not exceed a single dose of 200 mg and a total daily dosage of 600 mg. If you miss a dose of Tessalon, skip that dose and take the next dose at the next scheduled time. Do not take 2 doses of Tessalon at one time.



Usage in Pregnancy


PREGNANCY CATEGORY C

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



Nursing Mothers


It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk caution should be exercised when Tessalon is administered to a nursing woman.



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility


Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and reproduction studies have not been conducted with Tessalon.



Pediatric Use


Safety and effectiveness in children below the age of 10 have not been established. Accidental ingestion resulting in death has been reported in children below age 10. Keep out of reach of children.



Adverse Reactions


Potential Adverse Reactions to Tessalon may include:


Hypersensitivity reactions including bronchospasm, laryngospasm, cardiovascular collapse possibly related to local anesthesia from chewing or sucking the capsule.



CNS


sedation; headache; dizziness; mental confusion; visual hallucinations.



GI


constipation; nausea; GI upset.



Dermatologic


pruritus; skin eruptions.



Other


nasal congestion; sensation of burning in the eyes; vague “chilly” sensation; numbness of the chest; hypersensitivity.


Deliberate or accidental overdose has resulted in death, particularly in children.



Overdosage


Intentional and unintentional overdose may result in death, particularly in children.


The drug is chemically related to tetracaine and other topical anesthetics and shares various aspects of their pharmacology and toxicology. Drugs of this type are generally well absorbed after ingestion.



Signs and Symptoms


The signs and symptoms of overdose of benzonatate have been reported within 15-20 minutes. If capsules are chewed or dissolved in the mouth, oropharyngeal anesthesia will develop rapidly, which may cause choking and airway compromise.


CNS stimulation may cause restlessness and tremors which may proceed to clonic convulsions followed by profound CNS depression. Convulsions, coma, cerebral edema and cardiac arrest leading to death have been reported within 1 hour of ingestion.



Treatment


In case of overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Evacuate gastric contents and administer copious amounts of activated charcoal slurry. Even in the conscious patient, cough and gag reflexes may be so depressed as to necessitate special attention to protection against aspiration of gastric contents and orally administered materials. Convulsions should be treated with a short-acting barbiturate given intravenously and carefully titrated for the smallest effective dosage. Intensive support of respiration and cardiovascular-renal function is an essential feature of the treatment of severe intoxication from overdosage.


Do not use CNS stimulants.



Tessalon Dosage and Administration


Adults and Children over 10 years of age: Usual dose is one 100 mg or 200 mg capsule three times a day as needed for cough. If necessary to control cough, up to 600 mg daily in three divided doses may be given. Tessalon should be swallowed whole. Tessalon Capsules and Perles are not to be broken, chewed, dissolved, cut or crushed.
