Doxy 100


Pronunciation: DOX-i-SYE-kleen
Generic Name: Doxycycline
Brand Name: Examples include Doxy 100 and Doxy 200


Doxy 100 is used for:

Treating infections caused by certain bacteria. It may be used in combination with other medicines to treat certain amoeba infections. It may also be used to prevent or slow the progression of anthrax after exposure.


Doxy 100 is a tetracycline antibiotic. It works by slowing the growth of bacteria. Slowing bacteria's growth allows the body's immune system to destroy the bacteria.


Do NOT use Doxy 100 if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Doxy 100 or to another tetracycline

  • you are taking acitretin, isotretinoin, or a penicillin (eg, amoxicillin)

  • you have recently received or will be receiving a live oral typhoid vaccine

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



Before using Doxy 100:


Some medical conditions may interact with Doxy 100. 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 diarrhea, a stomach or intestinal infection, a history of lupus, or the blood disease porphyria

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Doxy 100. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), carbamazepine, or hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because they may decrease Doxy 100's effectiveness

  • Acitretin or isotretinoin because side effects, such as increased pressure inside the skull (resulting in severe headaches and vision problems) may occur

  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), digoxin, methotrexate, or methoxyflurane because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Doxy 100

  • Live oral typhoid vaccine, hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills), or penicillins (eg, amoxicillin) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Doxy 100

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Doxy 100 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 Doxy 100:


Use Doxy 100 as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Doxy 100 is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using Doxy 100 at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Doxy 100. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.

  • Do not use Doxy 100 if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.

  • Doxy 100 works best if it is used at the same time each day.

  • To clear up your infection completely, use Doxy 100 for the full course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days.

  • If your doctor directs you to switch to medicine that you take by mouth, be sure you understand how to take it.

  • If you miss a dose of Doxy 100, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, 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 Doxy 100.



Important safety information:


  • Be sure to use Doxy 100 for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.

  • Long-term or repeated use of Doxy 100 may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.

  • Mild diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. However, a more serious form of diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) may rarely occur. This may develop while you use the antibiotic or within several months after you stop using it. Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or blood stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.

  • Doxy 100 may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Doxy 100. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Doxy 100 before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Doxy 100. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).

  • Doxy 100 may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using Doxy 100.

  • Doxy 100 should not be used in CHILDREN younger than 8 years old; permanent yellow-gray-brown tooth discoloration may occur.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Doxy 100 has been shown to cause harm to the fetus. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Doxy 100 while you are pregnant. Doxy 100 is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Doxy 100.


Possible side effects of Doxy 100:


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:



Loss of appetite; nausea; sensitivity to sunlight; vomiting.



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

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); bloody stools; chest pain; dark urine; decreased urination; fever, chills, or sore throat; moderate to severe sunburn; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin; severe diarrhea; severe or persistent headache; stomach pain or cramps; throat irritation; trouble swallowing; unusual bruising or bleeding; unusual joint pain; unusual tiredness; vaginal irritation or discharge; vision changes; yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Store mixed powder at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C) for up to 48 hours. Mixed solution is stable under fluorescent light for 48 hours, but must be protected from direct sunlight during storage and administration. Mixed solution may be stored up to 72 hours before administration if refrigerated and protected from sunlight and artificial light. Infusion must be completed within 12 hours of mixing. Throw away any unused portion. Keep Doxy 100 out of the reach of children and away from pets.

Merbentyl Syrup





1. Name Of The Medicinal Product



Merbentyl Syrup


2. Qualitative And Quantitative Composition



Dicycloverine Hydrochloride 10mg



3. Pharmaceutical Form



Syrup



4. Clinical Particulars



4.1 Therapeutic Indications



Merbentyl is a smooth muscle antispasmodic primarily indicated for treatment of functional conditions involving smooth muscle spasm of the gastrointestinal tract. The commonest of these are irritable colon (mucous colitis, spastic colon).



4.2 Posology And Method Of Administration



Adults



One to two 5ml spoonfuls (10 - 20mg) three times daily before or after meals.



Children (2-12 years):



One 5ml spoonful (10mg) three times daily.



Children (6 months - 2 years)



5 - 10mg three or four times daily, 15 minutes before feeds. Do not exceed a daily dose of 40mg. If it is necessary to dilute Merbentyl Syrup this may be done using Syrup or if diluted immediately prior to use with water.



4.3 Contraindications



Known idiosyncrasy to dicycloverine hydrochloride. Infants under 6 months of age.



Patients with rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance, glucose galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase insufficiency should not take this medicine.



4.4 Special Warnings And Precautions For Use



Products containing dicycloverine hydrochloride should be used with caution in any patient with or suspected of having glaucoma or prostatic hypertrophy. Use with care in patients with hiatus hernia associated with reflux oesophagitis because anticholinergic drugs may aggravate the condition. There are reports of infants, 3 months of age and under, administered dicycloverine hydrochloride syrup who have evidenced respiratory symptoms (breathing difficulty, shortness of breath, breathlessness, respiratory collapse, apnoea) as well as seizures, syncope, asphyxia, pulse rate fluctuations, muscular hypotonia and coma. The above symptoms have occurred within minutes of ingestion and lasted 20-30 minutes. The symptoms were reported in association with dicycloverine hydrochloride syrup therapy but the cause and effect relationship has neither been disproved or proved. The timing and nature of the reactions suggest that they were a consequence of local irritation and/or aspiration, rather than to a direct pharmacological effect. Although no causal relationship between these effects, observed in infants and dicycloverine administration has been established, dicycloverine hydrochloride is contra-indicated in infants under 6 months of age.



4.5 Interaction With Other Medicinal Products And Other Forms Of Interaction



None stated.



4.6 Pregnancy And Lactation



Epidemiological studies in pregnant women with products containing dicycloverine hydrochloride (at doses up to 40mg/day) have not shown that dicycloverine hydrochloride increases the risk of foetal abnormalities if administered during the first trimester of pregnancy. Reproduction studies have been performed in rats and rabbits at doses of up to 100 times the maximum recommended dose (based on 60mg per day for an adult person) and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the foetus due to dicycloverine. Since the risk of teratogenicity cannot be excluded with absolute certainty for any product, the drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.



It is not known whether dicycloverine is secreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when dicycloverine is administered to a nursing mother.



4.7 Effects On Ability To Drive And Use Machines



None stated.



4.8 Undesirable Effects



Side-effects seldom occur with Merbentyl. However, in susceptible individuals, dry mouth, thirst and dizziness may occur. On rare occasions, fatigue, sedation, blurred vision, rash, constipation, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, headache and dysuria have also been reported.



4.9 Overdose



Symptoms of Merbentyl overdosage are headache, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, difficulty in swallowing, dilated pupils and hot dry skin. Treatment may include emetics, gastric lavage and symptomatic therapy if indicated.



5. Pharmacological Properties



5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties



Dicycloverine hydrochloride relieves smooth muscle spasm of the gastrointestinal tract.



Animal studies indicate that this action is achieved via a dual mechanism;



(1) a specific anticholinergic effect (antimuscarinic at the ACh-receptor sites) and



(2) a direct effect upon smooth muscle (musculotropic).



5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties



After a single oral 20mg dose of dicycloverine hydrochloride in volunteers, peak plasma concentration reached a mean value of 58ng/ml in 1 to 1.5 hours. 14C labelled studies demonstrated comparable bioavailability from oral and intravenous administration. The principal route of elimination is via the urine.



5.3 Preclinical Safety Data



None stated.



6. Pharmaceutical Particulars



6.1 List Of Excipients



Invert Syrup Medium



Citric Acid Monohydrate



Sodium Benzoate



Raspberry Flavour



Wild Cherry Bark Flavour



Blackcurrant Essence



Vanilla Essence



Purified water



6.2 Incompatibilities



None stated.



6.3 Shelf Life



3 years.



6.4 Special Precautions For Storage



Do not store above 25'C. Should be stored and dispensed in amber glass bottles.



6.5 Nature And Contents Of Container



Type III, EP amber glass bottles sealed with a polyethylene screw cap equiped with a polyethylene seal and pilferproof closure.

What Bactroban is and what it is used for


Bactroban 2% Ointment (called ‘Bactroban’ in this leaflet) contains a medicine called mupirocin.


Bactroban is an antibiotic ointment.


It is used:


  • to treat skin infections on the skin such as

    • infected hair follicles which form pimples containing pus (“folliculitis”),
    • an infectious skin infection with blistering and crusting known as “impetigo” or
    • recurring boils (“furunculosis”)

  • to kill various bacteria which cause other skin infections including Staphylococci, Streptococci and E. coli. This group includes MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

  • This ointment is for external use on your skin only.



Before you use Bactroban



Do not use Bactroban:


  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to mupirocin or polyethylene glycol.

  • in your eyes, nose or around intravenous cannula ('drip') sites.

Do not use if the above applies to you. If you are not sure do not use this medicine. Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist before using Bactroban.




Take special care with Bactroban


  • As the ointment contains polyethylene glycol, talk to your doctor before using Bactroban

    • if you have kidney problems
    • if you have large areas of open wounds or damaged skin to be treated

  • Bactroban can cause severe skin reactions or allergies. See ‘Conditions to look out for’ in Section 4.

Thrush (a yeast infection) may develop if Bactroban is used for a long time. If this occurs, tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.


Keep the ointment away from your eyes.


  • If the ointment gets into your eyes accidentally, wash them thoroughly with water.

There is a different preparation of Bactroban that is used to prevent or treat infections inside your nose.




Using other medicines


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




Pregnancy and breast-feeding


Do not use Bactroban if you are pregnant, might become pregnant or are breast-feeding. Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice before using any medicine, if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. If a cracked nipple is being treated, the ointment must be thoroughly washed off prior to breast-feeding.





How to use Bactroban


Always use Bactroban exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are not sure.



Using this medicine


Do not mix Bactroban with any other external cream or ointment medicines on the infected area of your skin as this may reduce the effectiveness of Bactroban.


You usually apply Bactroban on your skin up to 3 times a day.



  • 1. Wash and dry your hands.


  • 2. Apply ointment to the infected area of your skin.


  • 3. You can cover the treated area with a plaster(s) or suitable dressing(s), unless your doctor has told you to leave it uncovered.


  • 4. Replace the cap on the tube and wash your hands.



How long should you use Bactroban for?


Use Bactroban for as long as your doctor has told you. If you are not sure, ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. The bacteria are normally cleared from your skin within 10 days of starting treatment.


Do not use for more than 10 days.




If you use more Bactroban than you should


If you use more Bactroban than you should, speak to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice.




If you forget to use Bactroban


  • If you forget to apply Bactroban, apply it as soon as you remember.

  • If your next dose is due within an hour, skip the missed dose.

  • Do not use a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.



If you stop using Bactroban


If you stop using Bactroban too early, not all the bacteria may have been killed or they may continue to grow. Ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist when to stop using the ointment.


If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.





Possible side effects


Like all medicines, Bactroban can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.



Conditions to look out for
