rimabotulinumtoxinB


Generic Name: rimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc) (RYE ma BOT ue LYE num TOX in B)

Brand Names: Myobloc


What is rimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc)?

RimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc), also called botulinum toxin type B, is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.


Myobloc is used to treat cervical dystonia (severe spasms in the neck muscles).


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


What is the most important information I should know about Myobloc?


The botulinum toxin contained in this medication can spread to other body areas beyond where it was injected. This has caused serious life-threatening side effects in some people receiving botulism toxin injections, even for cosmetic purposes.


Call your doctor at once if you have drooping eyelids, vision problems, severe muscle weakness, loss of bladder control, or trouble breathing, talking, or swallowing. Some of these effects can occur up to several weeks after a botulinum toxin injection. Do not seek botulinum toxin injections from more than one medical professional at a time. If you switch healthcare providers, be sure to tell your new provider how long it has been since your last botulinum toxin injection.

Using this medication more often than prescribed will not make it more effective and may result in serious side effects.


You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to botulinum toxin, or if you have a skin infection in the area where the medicine will be injected.

Before receiving a botulinum toxin injection, tell your doctor if you have ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome.


The effects of a botulinum toxin injection are temporary. Your symptoms may return completely within 3 months after an injection. After repeat injections, it may take less and less time before your symptoms return, especially if your body develops antibodies to the botulinum toxin.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before I receive Myobloc?


You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to botulinum toxin, or if you have a skin infection in the area where the medicine will be injected. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a side effect after receiving botulinum toxin in the past.

If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests:



  • amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or "Lou Gehrig's disease");




  • myasthenia gravis;




  • Lambert-Eaton syndrome;




  • a breathing problem such as asthma or emphysema;




  • problems with swallowing;




  • bleeding problems;




  • if you are planning to have surgery; or




  • if you have ever received other botulinum toxin injections such as Botox or Dysport (especially in the last 4 months).



Myobloc is made using human plasma (part of the blood) and may contain viruses and other infectious agents that can cause disease. Although donated human plasma is screened, tested, and treated to reduce the risk of it containing anything that could cause disease, there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.


FDA pregnancy category C. It is not know whether botulinum toxin is harmful to an unborn baby. Before you receive this medication, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether botulinum toxin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not receive this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How is Myobloc given?


This medication is injected into a muscle. A doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. Myobloc injections should be spaced at least 3 months apart.


Your injection may be given into more than one area at a time, depending on the condition being treated.


The effects of a botulinum toxin injection are temporary. Your symptoms may return completely within 3 months after an injection. After repeat injections, it may take less and less time before your symptoms return, especially if your body develops antibodies to the botulinum toxin. Do not seek botulinum toxin injections from more than one medical professional at a time. If you switch healthcare providers, be sure to tell your new provider how long it has been since your last botulinum toxin injection.

Using this medication more often than prescribed will not make it more effective and may result in serious side effects.


What happens if I miss a dose?


Since botulinum toxin has a temporary effect and is given at widely spaced intervals, missing a dose is not likely to be harmful.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Overdose symptoms may not appear right away, but can include muscle weakness, trouble swallowing, and weak or shallow breathing.


What should I avoid after receiving Myobloc?


Myobloc may impair your vision or depth perception. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be able to see clearly.

Myobloc 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.

The botulinum toxin contained in this medication can spread to other body areas beyond where it was injected. This has caused serious life-threatening side effects in some people receiving botulism toxin injections, even for cosmetic purposes.


Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects, some of which can occur up to several weeks after an injection:

  • trouble breathing, talking, or swallowing;




  • hoarse voice, drooping eyelids;




  • unusual or severe muscle weakness (especially in a body area that was not injected with the medication);




  • loss of bladder control;




  • problems with vision; or




  • chest pain.



Less serious side effects may include:



  • pain or muscle weakness near where the medicine was injected;




  • headache, joint or back pain;




  • dry mouth, nausea, upset stomach;




  • fever, cough, sore throat, flu symptoms;




  • pain or stiffness in your neck; or




  • dizziness, drowsiness, anxiety.



This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Dolorex


Pronunciation: aH-seet-ah-MIN-oh-fen/SAL-ih-sill-ah-mide/fen-ill-tole-OX-a-meen
Generic Name: Acetaminophen/Salicylamide/Phenyltoloxamine
Brand Name: Examples include Dolorex and Duraxin


Dolorex is used for:

Treating mild to moderate aches and pains associated with headache, muscle and joint soreness, backache, menstrual cramps, colds and flu, sinusitis, toothache, and minor pain from arthritis, and to reduce fever. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dolorex is an analgesic, antihistamine, and antipyretic combination. It works by blocking substances in the body that cause fever, pain, and inflammation. It also blocks histamine, which causes sneezing and itchy, watery eyes.


Do NOT use Dolorex if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Dolorex

  • you have lung problems (asthma, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]), difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate, glaucoma, kidney or liver problems, or blood clotting problems

  • you are taking medicine for blood clotting or sodium oxybate (GHB)

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



Before using Dolorex:


Some medical conditions may interact with Dolorex. 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 bleeding problems, blood vessel problems in the brain, blockage of the stomach, chickenpox, flu, rheumatoid arthritis, Kawasaki syndrome, prostate problems, blockage of the urinary tract, or difficulty urinating

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


  • Isoniazid or sodium oxybate because the risk of side effects may be increased

  • Blood thinners (eg, warfarin) because the risk of side effects, including the risk of bruising or bleeding, may be increased

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


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


  • Take Dolorex with food and a large glass of water or milk to reduce stomach irritation.

  • If you miss a dose of Dolorex and you are using it regularly, take 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 take 2 doses at once.

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



Important safety information:


  • Dolorex may cause drowsiness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Dolorex. Using Dolorex alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or perform other potentially dangerous tasks.

  • Dolorex contains acetaminophen. Before you begin taking any new prescription or nonprescription medicine, read the ingredients to see if it also contains acetaminophen. If it does or if you are uncertain, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Avoid taking medicines that cause drowsiness (eg, sedatives, tranquilizers) while taking Dolorex. Dolorex will add to the effects of alcohol and other depressants. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines are depressants.

  • Do not exceed the recommended dosage or take Dolorex for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.

  • If you consume 3 or more alcohol-containing drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take Dolorex or other pain relievers/fever reducers. Acetaminophen may cause liver damage. Alcohol use combined with Dolorex may increase your risk for liver damage.

  • If you are taking Dolorex for pain or fever and your symptoms do not improve within 10 days or if they become worse, check with your doctor.

  • Before you have any medical or dental treatments or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking Dolorex.

  • Do not give Dolorex to a child or teenager who has chickenpox, the flu, or another viral infection. Use of Dolorex for treating the symptoms of a viral infection may cause a serious illness called Reye syndrome.

  • Dolorex is not recommended for use in CHILDREN younger than 6 years of age. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been established.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Dolorex during pregnancy. Dolorex is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Dolorex.


Possible side effects of Dolorex:


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:



Drowsiness; dry mouth, nose, or throat; heartburn; nausea; thickening of mucus in the nose and throat; upset stomach.



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

This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.

Important safety information:


  • Ramelteon may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Ramelteon 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 Ramelteon; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.

  • Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.

  • If your insomnia does not get better within 7 to 10 days, check with your doctor. This may mean there is another condition causing your sleep problems.

  • When you first start taking Ramelteon, it may have a "carryover" effect on you the next day. Use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness (eg, driving a car).

  • Some patients taking Ramelteon have performed certain activities while they were not fully awake. These have included sleep-driving, making and eating food, making phone calls, and having sex. Patients often do not remember these events after they happen. Such an event may be more likely to occur if you use a high dose of Ramelteon. It may also be more likely if you drink alcohol or take other medicines that may cause drowsiness while you use Ramelteon. Tell your doctor right away if such an event happens to you.

  • Ramelteon should not be used in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
