5. Pharmacological Properties 5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties

Naftidrofuryl oxalate has been shown to exert a direct effect on intracellular metabolism. Thus it has been shown in man and animals that it produces an increase of ATP levels and a decrease of lactic acid levels in ischaemic conditions, evidence for an enhancement of cellular oxidative capacity. Furthermore, naftidrofuryl oxalate is a powerful spasmolytic agent.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties

Naftidrofuryl oxalate is well absorbed when given orally. Peak plasma levels occur about 30 minutes after dosing and the half life is about an hour, although inter subject variation is relatively high. Accumulation does not occur at a dose level of 200mg three times daily.

The drug becomes extensively bound to plasma proteins and is excreted principally via the urine, all in the form of metabolites.

5.3 Preclinical Safety Data

No toxic effects were seen in animal studies which provide additional information to that obtained in man. In repeated dose studies the no effect level was 25mg/kg/day or greater. There was no evidence of effects on reproduction below doses which caused maternal toxicity.

Pronap-100

Generic Name: propoxyphene and acetaminophen (Oral route)

a-seet-a-MIN-oh-fen, proe-POX-i-feen NAP-si-late

Oral route(Tablet)

Accidental and intentional overdose with propoxyphene products either alone or in combination with other CNS depressants, including alcohol, has occurred, and may be fatal within the first hour. Many of the fatalities have occurred in patients with previous histories of emotional disturbances or suicidal ideation/attempts and/or concomitant administration of sedatives, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, or other CNS-depressant drugs. Do not prescribe propoxyphene for patients who are suicidal or have a history of suicidal ideation. The metabolism of propoxyphene may be altered by strong CYP3A4 inhibitors leading to enhanced propoxyphene plasma levels; monitor patients closely and adjust dosages if necessary in patients receiving any CYP3A4 inhibitor concomitantly .

Therapeutic Class: Opioid/Acetaminophen Combination

Chemical Class: Propoxyphene

Uses For Pronap-100

Propoxyphene and acetaminophen combination is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Propoxyphene belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.

Acetaminophen is used to relieve pain and reduce fever in patients. It does not become habit-forming when taken for a long time. But acetaminophen may cause other unwanted effects when taken in large doses, including liver damage.

When propoxyphene is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain. Mental dependence (addiction) is not likely to occur when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.

Products containing propoxyphene were withdrawn from the U.S. market starting November 19, 2010.

This medicine was available only with your doctor's prescription.

Pediatric

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of propoxyphene and acetaminophen combination in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.

Geriatric

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of propoxyphene and acetaminophen combination in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving propoxyphene and acetaminophen combination.

This combination medicine contains acetaminophen (Tylenol®). Carefully check the labels of all other medicines you are using, because they may also contain acetaminophen. It is not safe to use more than 4 grams (4,000 milligrams) of acetaminophen in one day (24 hours).

This medicine should come with a Medication Guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.

Precautions While Using Pronap-100

It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are taking this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it.

Talk to your doctor first before you stop taking this medicine and changing to another pain medicine.

This medicine can cause changes in heart rhythms, such as conditions called PR, QRS, and QT prolongation. It may change the way your heart beats and cause fainting, dizziness, lightheadedness, or serious side effects in some patients. Contact your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of heart rhythm problems, such as fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeats.

This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Also, there may be a greater risk of liver damage if you drink three or more alcoholic beverages while you are taking acetaminophen. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your doctor before taking any of the medicines listed above while you are using this medicine.

This medicine may be habit-forming. If you feel that the medicine is not working as well, do not use more than your prescribed dose. Call your doctor for instructions.

Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help lessen this problem. Also, lying down for a while may relieve the dizziness or lightheadedness.

This medicine may make you dizzy, drowsy, or lightheaded. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.

Using narcotics for a long time can cause severe constipation. To prevent this, your doctor may direct you to take laxatives, drink a lot of fluids, or increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, because continuing constipation can lead to more serious problems.

If you have been using this medicine regularly for several weeks or longer, do not change your dose or suddenly stop using it without checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping it completely. This may help prevent worsening of your condition and reduce the possibility of withdrawal symptoms, such as abdominal or stomach cramps, anxiety, fever, nausea, runny nose, sweating, tremors, or trouble with sleeping.

Using this medicine while you are pregnant may cause serious unwanted effects in your newborn baby. Tell your doctor right away if you think you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant while using this medicine.

Further information What Protelos Is And What It Is Used For

PROTELOS is a non-hormonal medicine used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. PROTELOS reduces the risk of fracture at the spine and at the hip.

About osteoporosis

Your body is constantly breaking down old bone and making new bone tissue. If you have osteoporosis, your body breaks down more bone than it forms so that gradually bone loss occurs and your bones become thinner and fragile. This is especially common in women after the menopause

Many people with osteoporosis have no symptoms and you may not even know that you have it. However, osteoporosis makes you more likely to have fractures (break bones), especially in your spine, hips and wrists.

How PROTELOS works

PROTELOS, which contains the substance strontium ranelate, belongs to a group of medicines used to treat bone diseases.

PROTELOS works by reducing bone breakdown and stimulating rebuilding of bone and therefore reduces the risk of fracture. The newly formed bone is of normal quality.

Before You Take Protelos Do not take PROTELOS: if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to strontium ranelate or any of the other ingredients of PROTELOS. Take special care with PROTELOS:

Before taking PROTELOS talk to your doctor:

if you have severe kidney disease. if you are being treated or have been treated for blood clots. if you are confined to bed or if you are to undergo an operation. The risk of vein thrombosis (blood clots in the leg) may be increased in the event of lengthy immobilisation. PROTELOS is not intended for use in children and adolescents (below the age of 18).

During treatment, if you experience an allergic reaction (such as swelling of the face, tongue or throat, difficulty in breathing or swallowing, skin rash), you must immediately stop taking PROTELOS and seek medical advice. If you have stopped treatment due to hypersensitivity reactions it should be permanent and you should not re-start therapy with PROTELOS.

Taking other medicines:

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.

You should stop taking PROTELOS if you have to take oral tetracyclines or quinolones (two types of antibiotics). You can take PROTELOS again when you have finished taking these antibiotics. If you are unsure about this ask your doctor or pharmacist. If you are taking medicines containing calcium, you should leave at least 2 hours before you take PROTELOS. If you take antacids (medicines to relieve heartburn) you should take them at least 2 hours after PROTELOS. If this is not possible, it is acceptable to take the two medicines at the same time. Taking PROTELOS with food and drink:

Food, milk and milk products reduce the absorption of strontium ranelate. It is recommended that you take PROTELOS in-between meals, preferably at bedtime at least two hours after food, milk or milk products or calcium supplements.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding:

PROTELOS is meant for use only in postmenopausal women.

Therefore, do not take PROTELOS during pregnancy or when you are breastfeeding. If you take it by accident during pregnancy or breastfeeding, stop taking it straight away and talk to your doctor.

Driving and using machines:

Protelos is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines.

Important information about some of the ingredients of PROTELOS:

PROTELOS contains aspartame. If you suffer from phenylketonuria (a rare, hereditary disorder of the metabolism) talk to your doctor before you start to take this medicine.

How To Take Protelos

Always take PROTELOS exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

PROTELOS is for oral use.

The recommended dose is one 2g sachet a day.

It is recommended that you take PROTELOS at bedtime, preferably at least 2 hours after dinner. You may lie down immediately after taking PROTELOS if you wish.

Take the granules contained in the sachets as a suspension in a glass of water (see instructions below). PROTELOS can interact with milk and milk products, so it is important that you mix PROTELOS only with water to be sure it works properly.

Empty the granules from the sachet into a glass;

Add water;

Stir until the granules are evenly dispersed in the water.

Drink straight away. You should not leave it more than 24 hours before you drink it. If for some reason you cannot drink the medicine straight away, make sure you stir it again before drinking.

Your doctor may advise you to take calcium and vitamin D supplements in addition to PROTELOS. Do not take calcium supplements at bedtime, at the same time as PROTELOS.

Your doctor will tell you how long you should continue to take PROTELOS. Osteoporosis-therapy is usually required for a long period. It is important that you continue taking PROTELOS for as long as your doctor prescribes the medicine.

If you take more PROTELOS than you should:

If you take too many sachets of PROTELOS, tell your doctor or pharmacist. They may advise you to drink milk or take antacids to reduce the absorption of the active ingredient.

If you forget to take PROTELOS:

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten individual doses. Just carry on with the next dose at the normal time.

Therapeutic Class: Radiological Non-Ionic Contrast Media

Uses For perflutren lipid microsphere

Perflutren lipid microsphere preparation is an ultrasound contrast agent. Ultrasound contrast agents are used to help provide a clear picture during ultrasound. Ultrasound is a special kind of diagnostic procedure. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create images or “pictures” of certain areas inside the body. The sound waves produced by the ultrasound equipment can be reflected (bounced off) by different parts of the body, like for example, the heart. As the sound waves return they are electronically converted into images on a television screen. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not involve ionizing radiation.

The perflutren lipid microspheres preparation contains very small gas-filled lipid microspheres that reflect the sound waves and help create a better picture. The lipid microsphere preparation is given by injection into a vein before ultrasound to help diagnose problems of the heart.

perflutren lipid microsphere is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor with specialized training in ultrasound procedures.

If you have left upper stomach pain or shoulder tip pain, contact your doctor right away. This could be a symptom of a serious side effect with the spleen.

Check with your doctor right away at the first sign of any infection such as fever; chills; cough; diarrhea; sore throat; or redness, swelling, or pain around a cut or sore.

Stop using pegfilgrastim and check with your doctor right away if you develop fever, shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, fast breathing, or wheezing. These could be symptoms of a serious lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Call your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; swelling of the face, tongue, or throat; trouble with breathing; or chest pain after you receive the medicine.

You should not use pegfilgrastim for 14 days before and up to 24 hours after you receive cancer medicines.
