Regitine

Generic Name: phentolamine (Injection route)

fen-TOL-a-meen

Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.

• OraVerse


• Regitine

Available Dosage Forms:

• Solution


• Injectable


• Powder for Solution

Therapeutic Class: Antihypertensive

Pharmacologic Class: Alpha-Adrenergic Blocker

Uses For Regitine

Phentolamine given by injection causes blood vessels to expand, thereby increasing blood flow. When injected into the penis (intracavernosal), it increases blood flow to the penis, which results in an erection.

This medicine should not be used as a sexual aid by men who do not have erectile dysfunction. If the medicine is not used properly, permanent damage to the penis and loss of the ability to have erections could result.

Phentolamine may also be used to reverse the effects of an anesthetic medicine in soft tissues, such as the lips and tongue. It may be used to help quickly restore normal sensation and function in patients who have received local dental anesthesia .

Phentolamine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although this use is not included in product labeling, phentolamine is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:

• Low doses of a three-drug combination of phentolamine, papaverine, and alprostadil as an injection may be used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Before Using Regitine

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

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of phentolamine for the reversal of soft-tissue anesthesia in children younger than 6 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established .

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. Although there is no specific information comparing the use of phentolamine for erectile dysfunction in the elderly, it is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.

Pregnancy

	Pregnancy Category	Explanation

In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

• Tadalafil

Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol

Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.

Other Medical Problems

The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Bleeding problems—These conditions increase the risk of bleeding at the place of injection.

• Priapism (history of) or


• Sickle cell disease—Patients with these conditions have an increased risk of priapism (erection lasting longer than 4 hours) while using phentolamine.

Proper Use of phentolamine

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain phentolamine. It may not be specific to Regitine. Please read with care.

To give the injection:

• Cleanse the injection site with alcohol. Using a sterile needle, inject the medicine slowly and directly into the base of the penis as instructed by your doctor. It should not be injected just under the skin. The injection is usually not painful, although you may feel some tingling in the tip of your penis. If the injection is very painful or you notice bruising or swelling at the place of injection, that means you are injecting the medicine under the skin. Stop, withdraw the needle, and reposition it properly before continuing with the injection.


• After you have completed the injection, put pressure on the place of injection to prevent bruising. Then massage your penis as instructed by your doctor. This helps the medicine spread to all parts of the penis, so that it will work better.

This medicine usually begins to work in about 10 minutes. You should attempt intercourse within 2 hours after injecting the medicine.

To reverse the effects of a soft-tissue anesthetic medicine, a dentist or other trained health professional will give you this medicine. This medicine is usually injected at the same spot where you have received the local dental anesthesia .

Dosing

The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

• For injection dosage form:
  
  • For the treatment of impotence:
    
    • Adults— 0.5 to 1 milligram (mg) injected very slowly into the area of your penis as directed by your doctor. Allow one or two minutes to completely inject the dose. Do not inject more than one dose in a day. Also, do not use this medicine more than two days in a row or more than three times a week.
    
    
  
  

Storage

Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.

Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.

Precautions While Using Regitine

Use the injection exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it and do not use it more often than ordered. If too much is used, the erection may become so strong that it lasts too long and does not reverse when it should. This condition is called priapism, and it can be very dangerous. If the effect is not reversed, the blood supply to the penis may be cut off and permanent damage may occur.

Contact your doctor immediately if the erection lasts for longer than 4 hours or if it becomes painful. This may be a sign of priapism and must be treated right away to prevent permanent damage.

If you notice bleeding at the site when you inject the medicine, put pressure on the spot until the bleeding stops. If it doesn't stop, check with your doctor.

It is important for you to examine your penis regularly. Check with your doctor if you find a lump where the medicine has been injected or if you notice that your penis is becoming curved. These may be signs that unwanted tissue is growing (called fibrosis), which should be seen by your doctor.

Regitine Side Effects

Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.

Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:

Rare

• Dizziness


• erection continuing for more than 4 hours, or painful erection


• lumps in the penis

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:

Less common or rare

• Bruising or bleeding at place of injection


• burning (mild) along penis


• difficulty in ejaculating


• swelling at place of injection

Phentolamine injected into the penis may cause tingling at the tip of the penis. This is no cause for concern.

Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Rotigotine

Pronunciation: roe-TIG-oh-teen
Generic Name: Rotigotine
Brand Name: Neupro

Rotigotine is used for:

Treating Parkinson disease.

Rotigotine is a dopamine agonist. It works in certain areas of the brain to reduce the symptoms (eg, tremor, uncontrolled muscle movements) of the early stages of Parkinson disease.

Do NOT use Rotigotine if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Rotigotine

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

Before using Rotigotine:

Some medical conditions may interact with Rotigotine. 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 heart problems (eg, heart failure, heart disease), blood vessel problems, high or low blood pressure, liver problems, kidney problems, lung problems, asthma, or a sleep disorder


• if you smoke or have a personal or family history of addiction (eg, gambling, alcohol)


• if you are scheduled to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat (cardioversion)

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

• Benzodiazepines (eg, diazepam), medicines for mental or mood problems (eg, antidepressants, antipsychotics), or medicines for sleep (eg, zolpidem) because the risk of severe drowsiness may be increased


• Dopamine antagonists (eg, phenothiazines) or metoclopramide because they may decrease Rotigotine's effectiveness

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

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

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


• Apply Rotigotine only to dry, intact skin on the upper torso, upper thigh, stomach, or outer surface of the upper arm as directed by your doctor or on the package labeling.


• Do not apply Rotigotine to hairy, oily, irritated, broken, scarred, or calloused skin. If you must apply Rotigotine to a hairy area of skin, shave the hair from the area at least 3 days before you apply Rotigotine to that area.


• Do not place the patch under tight clothing. Do not apply creams, lotions, ointments, oils, or powders to the skin where the patch will be applied. Never cut or tear the patch.


• To use Rotigotine, gently wash the application site with soap and warm water. Rinse until all soap is removed. Dry the area with a clean, dry towel.


• Remove the patch from its sealed pouch and peel away one side of the protective liner. Apply the sticky side of the patch to the skin. Peel away the rest of the liner so that the patch lies flat against the skin. There should be no bumps or folds in the patch. Press the patch against your skin firmly with the palm of your hand for 20 to 30 seconds to make sure there is good contact with the skin.


• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying Rotigotine. Do not touch your eyes until after you have washed your hands.


• After 24 hours, remove the used patch and fold it in half with the sticky sides together. Discard out of the reach of children and away from pets. Wash the area with mild soap and warm water to remove any adhesive remaining on the skin. Apply a new patch to a different area of skin. Use a new application site each time you apply a new patch. Do not apply a patch to the same area of skin within 14 days.


• If you have questions about how to use Rotigotine, check with your doctor or pharmacist.


• Continue to use Rotigotine even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.


• If your patch falls off, apply a new patch for the rest of the day.


• If you miss a dose of Rotigotine, remove the old patch and apply a new patch to a different area of skin. Go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not wear 2 patches at once.

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

Important safety information:

• Rotigotine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Rotigotine with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.


• Do not drink alcohol or use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using Rotigotine; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.


• Some people who use Rotigotine may experience sudden onset of severe drowsiness or may even fall asleep during normal daily activities (eg, eating, talking, driving). This could occur without warning. If this happens, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other possibly unsafe tasks while you use Rotigotine. Tell your doctor right away.


• Some people have experienced new, unusual, or increased urges (eg, gambling, sexual urges) while using Rotigotine or other medicines used to treat Parkinson disease. Tell your doctor right away if you notice such effects.


• Rotigotine may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.


• Do not apply heating pads, electric blankets, or other such sources of heat to the area where you apply Rotigotine. Avoid other sources of heat such as heat lamps; saunas; hot tubs; heated waterbeds; long, hot baths; or prolonged, direct exposure to sunlight while using Rotigotine. Heat may increase the amount of Rotigotine released into your skin.


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


• Remove Rotigotine from the skin before you have certain medical tests or treatments (eg, MRI, cardioversion). It may become hot and cause burns if left on the skin during such procedures.


• Do not suddenly stop using Rotigotine without checking with your doctor. Doing so may cause withdrawal symptoms, including fever, confusion, muscle stiffness, and kidney problems.


• Lab tests, including skin exams, may be performed while you use Rotigotine. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.


• Use Rotigotine with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.


• Rotigotine should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 18 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.


• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Rotigotine while you are pregnant. It is not known if Rotigotine is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Rotigotine.

Possible side effects of Rotigotine:

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:

Back or joint pain; constipation; decreased appetite; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; fatigue; headache; increased sweating; minor redness, swelling, or itching at the application site; nausea; trouble sleeping; upset stomach; vomiting.

What is Bromophed-DX (brompheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?

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

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

The combination of brompheniramine, 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.

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