diflorasone topical


Generic Name: diflorasone topical (dye FLOR a sone)

Brand names: ApexiCon, ApexiCon E, Maxiflor, Psorcon E, Florone, Psorcon, Florone E


What is diflorasone topical?

Diflorasone is a topical (for the skin) steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.


Diflorasone topical is used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis.


Diflorasone topical may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about diflorasone topical?


Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.


Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. Plastic film covering (such as plastic wrap) is sometimes used when treating psoriasis. Follow your doctor's instructions.

If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with diflorasone topical can increase the amount of medicine your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects.


Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more likely to absorb large amounts of a topical steroid through the skin. Steroid absorption in children may cause unwanted side effects, or a delay in growth with long-term use. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication over a long treatment period. Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve, or if you develop signs of a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using diflorasone topical?


Do not use this medication if you are allergic to diflorasone.

Before using diflorasone topical, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have any type of skin infection.


Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Topical steroid medicines absorbed through the skin may increase the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood or urine.


FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether diflorasone topical passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more likely to absorb large amounts of a topical steroid through the skin. Steroid absorption in children may cause unwanted side effects, or a delay in growth with long-term use. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication over a long treatment period.

How should I use diflorasone topical?


Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.


Wash your hands before and after using diflorasone topical, unless you are using the medication to treat the skin on your hands.

Apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it gently into the skin. Do not use this medication over a large area of skin.


Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. Plastic film covering (such as plastic wrap, plastic gloves, or a shower cap) is sometimes used to cover areas of psoriasis that are treated with diflorasone topical. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Avoid plastic covering over skin lesions that are oozing or draining pus or any type of fluid.


If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with diflorasone topical can increase the amount of medicine your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects.


Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve, or if you develop signs of a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection. It is important to use diflorasone topical regularly to get the most benefit.

If you are treating psoriasis, use the medication for at least a few days after the skin clears. Stopping too soon could cause a relapse.


To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects with long-term use, you may need blood tests. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.


Store diflorasone topical at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep from freezing.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Use the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and use the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. 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.

An overdose of diflorasone is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms. However, long-term use of high steroid doses can lead to symptoms such as thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex.


What should I avoid while using diflorasone topical?


Diflorasone topical should not be used to treat any skin condition your doctor has not prescribed it for.


Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. If contact does occur, rinse with water. Do not use diflorasone topical on broken or infected skin. Also avoid using this medication in open wounds.

Diflorasone topical side effects


Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have severe irritation of any treated skin, or if you show signs of absorbing diflorasone topical through your skin, such as:

  • blurred vision, or seeing halos around lights;




  • mood changes;




  • sleep problems (insomnia);




  • weight gain, puffiness in your face; or




  • muscle weakness, feeling tired.



Less serious side effects may include:



  • mild skin itching, burning, or dryness;




  • thinning or softening of your skin;




  • skin rash or irritation around your mouth;




  • swollen hair follicles;




  • changes in color of treated skin;




  • blisters, pimples, or crusting of treated skin; or




  • stretch marks.



This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.


What other drugs will affect diflorasone topical?


It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied diflorasone topical. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.

Bactroban Nasal



Generic Name: mupirocin (Nasal route)

mue-PIR-oh-sin

Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.


  • Bactroban

Available Dosage Forms:


  • Ointment

Therapeutic Class: Antibiotic


Uses For Bactroban


Mupirocin is used inside the nose to kill a certain bacteria, known as Staphylococcus aureus (also known as “staph”), that has become resistant to the antibiotic methicillin.


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


Before Using Bactroban


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


Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients and there is no specific information comparing use of nasal mupirocin in children with use in other age groups. However, a study in newborns and infants found that significant amounts of nasal mupirocin were absorbed into the body.


Geriatric


No information is available comparing use of nasal mupirocin in the elderly with use in other adults. However, it has not been reported to cause different side effects or other problems in older people than it does in younger adults.


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.


Proper Use of Bactroban


To use the nasal ointment


  • First, wash your hands.

  • Apply approximately 1/2 of the ointment from the single-use tube directly from the tube into one nostril. Then apply the remainder of the ointment directly into the other nostril.

  • Close your nostrils by pressing the sides of the nose together and then releasing them. Do this over and over again for approximately one minute. You may also press the sides of the nose together and gently massage the nose. These methods will help spread the medicine throughout the inside of the nostrils.

  • Discard the tube after using. The tube only has enough medicine for one dose in each nostril.

  • Be careful not to touch your eyes.

  • Immediately after using the nose ointment, wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.

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 nasal dosage form (nasal ointment):
    • To kill Staphylococcus aureus (“staph”) bacteria in the nose:
      • Adults and children 12 years of age and older—Approximately 1/2 of the ointment from a single-use tube squeezed into each nostril two times a day (morning and evening) for five days.

      • Children less than 12 years of age—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.



Missed Dose


If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.


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.


Precautions While Using Bactroban


Keep this medicine away from your eyes. If this medicine gets in the eyes, it may cause severe burning and tearing that may last days or weeks. If this occurs, contact your doctor.


Do not use any other medicine in your nose without first checking with your doctor.


If severe nasal irritation occurs, discontinue use of this medicine and contact your doctor.


Bactroban 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 as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:


Less common
  • Chest congestion

  • cough

Rare
  • Ear pain

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:


More common
  • Headache

Less common
  • Burning or stinging in the nose

  • change in taste

  • itching

  • sore throat

  • stuffy or runny nose

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

Doxorubicin


Pronunciation: dox-oh-ROO-bi-sin
Generic Name: Doxorubicin
Brand Name: Adriamycin

Doxorubicin is for intravenous (IV) use only and should only be given under the supervision of a doctor experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapy agents. If Doxorubicin accidentally leaks into surrounding tissue, the skin and/or muscle may be severely damaged. Notify your doctor immediately if redness, pain, or swelling at or around the injection site occur.


Doxorubicin may cause severe and possibly life-threatening heart problems (eg, heart failure). These problems may occur during therapy or sometimes months to years after receiving Doxorubicin. In some cases, heart problems are irreversible. The risk may be increased if you are using certain medicines that may affect heart function (eg, trastuzumab), or have a history of heart problems, radiation treatment to the chest area, or previous therapy with other anthracyclines (eg, epirubicin). The risk of developing heart problems varies depending on your dose and condition, although it can occur at any dose whether or not you are at risk. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop cough; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; shortness of breath; sudden, unexplained weight gain; or swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet.


Another type of cancer (acute myelogenous leukemia [AML]) and a certain blood problem (myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS]) have been reported in patients treated with anthracyclines, including Doxorubicin. The risk varies depending on your dose and other medicines and/or radiation therapy. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.


Doxorubicin may cause bone marrow suppression. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop easy bruising or bleeding, unusual tiredness or weakness, or signs of an infection (eg, fever, chills, persistent sore throat).


Tell your doctor if you have liver problems because your dose will have to be decreased. Your doctor will closely monitor you while you are using Doxorubicin.





Doxorubicin is used for:

Treating various types of cancer.


Doxorubicin is an antineoplastic antibiotic. It works by killing cancer cells.


Do NOT use Doxorubicin if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Doxorubicin or to similar medicines (eg, epirubicin)

  • you have certain bone marrow problems (eg, low blood platelet levels, low red blood cell levels, low white blood cell levels)

  • you have severe liver problems

  • you have severe heart problems, severe irregular heartbeat, or recently had a heart attack

  • you have taken or will be taking palifermin within 24 hours before or after using Doxorubicin

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



Before using Doxorubicin:


Some medical conditions may interact with Doxorubicin. 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 able to become pregnant

  • 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 swelling or soreness of the mouth or tongue, blood vessel disease, an infection, or liver problems

  • if you plan to receive any vaccines

  • if you are older than 50 years old

  • if you have a history of heart problems or radiation treatment (or are currently receiving radiation treatment), or if you have previously received Doxorubicin or similar medicines (eg, epirubicin, daunorubicin)

  • if you are taking medicines that may affect heart function (eg, calcium channel blockers, trastuzumab). Ask your doctor if you are unsure if any of your medicines may affect heart function

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


  • Calcium channel blockers (eg, diltiazem, verapamil), cyclophosphamide, or trastuzumab because the risk of heart problems (eg, heart failure) may be increased

  • Cyclosporine, cytarabine, paclitaxel, progesterone, or streptozocin because it may increase the risk of Doxorubicin's side effects

  • Phenobarbital because it may decrease Doxorubicin's effectiveness

  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because the risk of their side effects may be increased

  • Palifermin because if mouth or tongue sores develop, they may be more severe or last longer

  • Hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Doxorubicin

  • Medicines that may harm the liver (eg, acetaminophen, methotrexate, ketoconazole, isoniazid, certain medicines for HIV infection) because the risk of Doxorubicin's 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 Doxorubicin 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 Doxorubicin:


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


  • Doxorubicin is usually administered as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. Ask your doctor any questions that you may have about Doxorubicin.

  • If Doxorubicin contains particles or is discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged in any way, do not use it.

  • Drinking extra fluids while you are using Doxorubicin is recommended. Check with your doctor for instructions.

  • Your doctor may prescribe another medicine to lessen nausea and vomiting that can occur when using Doxorubicin. Discuss any questions with your doctor.

  • If Doxorubicin accidentally spills on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.

  • Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and away from pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Dispose of properly after use. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain local regulations for proper disposal.

  • If you miss a dose of Doxorubicin, contact your doctor immediately.

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



Important safety information:


  • Doxorubicin may reduce the number of clot-forming cells (platelets) in your blood. To prevent bleeding, avoid situations in which bruising or injury may occur. Report any unusual bleeding, bruising, blood in stools, or dark, tarry stools to your doctor.

  • Doxorubicin may lower your body's ability to fight infection. Prevent infection by avoiding contact with people with colds or other infections. Notify your doctor of any signs of infection, including fever, sore throat, rash, or chills.

  • Caregivers of children should take precautions (eg, wear latex gloves) to prevent contact with the patient's urine and other body fluids for at least 5 days after treatment.

  • Avoid vaccinations with live virus vaccines (eg, measles, mumps, oral polio) while you are using Doxorubicin. Talk with your doctor before you receive any vaccine.

  • Doxorubicin may cause the urine to turn red. This is harmless and usually goes away 1 to 2 days after receiving a dose of Doxorubicin.

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

  • Lab tests, including liver and kidney function, complete blood cell counts, blood uric acid and electrolyte levels, and heart function, may be performed to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

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

  • Use Doxorubicin with extreme caution in CHILDREN. Safety and effectiveness have not been confirmed.

  • Caution is advised when using Doxorubicin in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially heart problems (eg heart failure) and developing a certain other type of cancer (AML).

  • Doxorubicin may damage sperm. Use effective birth control methods (eg, condoms) while using Doxorubicin. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.

  • Women using Doxorubicin may develop absence of menstrual periods or early menopause.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Doxorubicin has been shown to cause harm to the fetus. Avoid becoming pregnant while you are using it. If you are able to become pregnant, talk with your doctor about using an effective form of birth control. If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Doxorubicin during pregnancy. Doxorubicin is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while using Doxorubicin.
