Uses For ranibizumab


Ranibizumab is used to treat neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is a disorder of the retina in the eye that causes blurring of vision or blindness.


ranibizumab is also used to treat macular edema (swelling of the back of the eye) after retinal vein occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel in the eye).


ranibizumab is available only with your doctor's prescription.


Before Using ranibizumab


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 ranibizumab, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to ranibizumab 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 ranibizumab 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 ranibizumab in the elderly.


Pregnancy








Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
All TrimestersCAnimal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

Breast Feeding


There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.


Interactions with Medicines


Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


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 ranibizumab. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


  • Eye infection or

  • Infection around the eye—Should not be used in patients with these conditions.

  • Glaucoma—Use with caution. May make this condition worse.

Proper Use of ranibizumab


An eye doctor will give you ranibizumab as a shot into the eye.


ranibizumab is usually given once a month (about every 28 days). In some patients, it may be given once every 3 months after the first 4 injections.


Precautions While Using ranibizumab


Your eye doctor will want to check your progress at regular visits, especially during the first few days after you receive ranibizumab.


Serious eye problems may occur with ranibizumab. Check with your eye doctor right away if your eye becomes red, sensitive to light, or painful, or if you have a change in vision several days after you receive ranibizumab. Also, tell your eye doctor if you feel increased pressure in the eye.


ranibizumab may increase your risk of blood clots. Check with your doctor right away if you are having pain in your chest, groin, or legs, especially the calves; difficulty with breathing; a severe, sudden headache; slurred speech; sudden, unexplained shortness of breath; sudden loss of coordination; sudden, severe weakness or numbness in your arm or leg; or vision changes.

Diclofenac Solution



Pronunciation: dye-KLOE-fen-ak
Generic Name: Diclofenac
Brand Name: Pennsaid

Diclofenac Solution is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It may cause an increased risk of serious and sometimes fatal heart and blood vessel problems (eg, a heart attack, stroke). The risk may be greater if you already have heart problems or if you use Diclofenac Solution for a long time. Do not use Diclofenac Solution right before or after bypass heart surgery.


Diclofenac Solution may cause an increased risk of serious and sometimes fatal stomach ulcers and bleeding. Elderly patients may be at greater risk. This may occur without warning signs.





Diclofenac Solution is used for:

Treating pain in the knee joints caused by osteoarthritis. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Diclofenac Solution is an NSAID. Exactly how it works is not known. It may work by blocking certain substances in the body that are linked to inflammation. NSAIDs treat the symptoms of pain and inflammation. They do not treat the disease that causes those symptoms.


Do NOT use Diclofenac Solution if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Diclofenac Solution

  • you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, trouble breathing, growths in the nose, dizziness) to aspirin or another NSAID (eg, celecoxib, ibuprofen)

  • you have recently had or will be having bypass heart surgery

  • you have severe kidney problems

  • you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy

  • you are taking disulfiram or metronidazole

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



Before using Diclofenac Solution:


Some medical conditions may interact with Diclofenac Solution. 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 kidney or liver problems, diabetes, or stomach or bowel problems (eg, bleeding, perforation, ulcers)

  • if you have a history of swelling or fluid buildup, asthma, growths in the nose (nasal polyps), or mouth inflammation

  • if you have high blood pressure, blood disorders (eg, porphyria), bone marrow problems, bleeding or clotting problems, heart problems (eg, heart failure), or blood vessel disease, or if you are at risk of any of these diseases

  • if you have poor health, dehydration or low fluid volume, low blood sodium levels, you drink alcohol, or you have a history of alcohol abuse

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


  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), aspirin, clopidogrel, corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), direct factor Xa inhibitors (eg, rivaroxaban), heparin, prasugrel, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, fluoxetine) because the risk of bleeding, including stomach bleeding, may be increased

  • Disulfiram, furazolidone, or metronidazole because a severe reaction that includes flushing, headache, fast or irregular heartbeat, trouble breathing, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness may occur

  • Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, voriconazole), bisphosphonates (eg, risedronate), or probenecid because they may increase the risk of Diclofenac Solution's side effects

  • Rifamycins (eg, rifampin) because they may decrease Diclofenac Solution's effectiveness

  • Cyclosporine, lithium, methotrexate, oral NSAIDs (eg, ibuprofen), quinolones (eg, ciprofloxacin), or tenofovir because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Diclofenac Solution

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril) or diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Diclofenac Solution

  • Medicines that may harm the liver (eg, acetaminophen, ketoconazole, isoniazid, certain medicines for HIV infection, certain antibiotics or seizure medicines) because the risk of liver side effects may be increased. Ask your doctor if you are unsure if any of your medicines might harm the liver

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

What is DDAVP (desmopressin (nasal))?

Desmopressin is a man-made form of a hormone that occurs naturally in the pituitary gland. This hormone is important for many functions including blood flow, blood pressure, kidney function, and regulating how the body uses water.


Desmopressin nasal is used to treat central cranial diabetes insipidus, and increased thirst and urination caused by head surgery or head trauma.


Desmopressin nasal is also used to treat hemophilia A or von Willebrand's disease Type I.


Desmopressin nasal may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about DDAVP (desmopressin (nasal))?

You should not use this medication if you have severe kidney disease or if you have ever had hyponatremia (low sodium levels in your body).

Before using desmopressin nasal, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, high or low blood pressure, an electrolyte imbalance, or a psychological disorder that causes extreme or unusual thirst.


Desmopressin nasal may be less effective if you have any swelling or scarring inside your nose, or any nasal or sinus problems (such as deviated septum).


This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.


To be sure desmopressin nasal is helping your condition, your blood will need to be tested often. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with this medication. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using DDAVP (desmopressin (nasal))?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to desmopressin, or if you have:

  • severe kidney disease; or




  • if you have ever had hyponatremia (low sodium levels in your body).



Before using desmopressin nasal, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any medications, or if you have:



  • heart disease, coronary artery disease;




  • congestive heart failure;




  • kidney disease;




  • cystic fibrosis;




  • high or low blood pressure;




  • an electrolyte imbalance; or




  • a psychologic disorder that causes extreme or unusual thirst.



If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use desmopressin.


Desmopressin nasal may be less effective if you have any swelling or scarring inside your nose, or any nasal or sinus problems (such as deviated septum).

How should I use DDAVP (desmopressin (nasal))?


Use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.


This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.


It is very important to reduce your intake of water and other fluids while you are using desmopressin. Drinking too much water can cause your body to lose sodium, which may lead to a serious, life-threatening electrolyte imbalance.

Keep track of how many sprays have been used from each bottle of desmopressin nasal spray. Stimate nasal spray contains enough desmopressin for the priming spray plus 25 full sprays. DDAVP nasal spray contains enough desmopressin for the priming spray plus 50 sprays. Your patient instructions may include a check-off chart to help you keep an accurate record or sprays you use. If you are treating hemophilia or von Willebrand's disease, call your doctor if your bleeding is not controlled during treatment with desmopressin nasal.

The desmopressin nasal spray bottle should be thrown away after the specified number of sprays have been used, even if there is medicine leftover in the bottle. Do not try to pour solution from one bottle to another.


Store DDAVP nasal spray at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle in an upright position when not in use. Store Stimate nasal spray or DDAVP Rhinal Tube in the refrigerator. Do not freeze. If refrigeration is not available, you may keep the closed bottles at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose. 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.

Overdose symptoms may include headache, confusion, drowsiness, rapid weight gain, or urination problems.
