30/06/10

Generic Name: hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril (hye droe klor oh THY a zide and moe EX a pril)
Brand Names: Uniretic

What is Uniretic (hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril)?

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.

Moexipril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Moexipril lowers blood pressure and also relieves symptoms of fluid retention.

The combination of hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

Hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Uniretic (hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril)?

Do not use this medication if you are unable to urinate.

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to any other ACE inhibitor, such as benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), or trandolapril (Mavik).

Before taking hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease (or are on dialysis), liver disease, congestive heart failure, asthma or allergies, gout, lupus, diabetes, or an allergy to sulfa drugs.

Moexipril can cause birth defects in the baby if you take the medication during pregnancy. Do not use hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril without telling your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Avoid the regular use of salt substitutes in your diet, and do not take potassium supplements while taking hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril, unless your doctor has told you to.

Some things can cause your blood pressure to get too low. This includes vomiting, diarrhea, heavy sweating, heart disease, dialysis, a low-salt diet, or taking other diuretics (water pills). Follow your doctor’s instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink while taking hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril. Tell your doctor if you have a prolonged illness that causes diarrhea or vomiting.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Uniretic (hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril)?

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to hydrochlorothiazide or moexipril, or if you have:

a history of asthma or allergies; or
if you are unable to urinate.

If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication. Before you take hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril, tell your doctor if you have:

kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
liver disease;
congestive heart failure;
asthma or allergies;
gout;
lupus;
diabetes; or
an allergy to sulfa drugs.

FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Moexipril could cause birth defects in the baby if you take the medication during pregnancy. Use an effective form of birth control. Stop using this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. Hydrochlorothiazide can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take Uniretic (hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril)?

Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

While you are taking this medication, your blood pressure will need to be checked on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.

Your blood and urine may also be tested if you have been vomiting or are dehydrated.

Hydrochlorothiazide can interfere with the results of a thyroid test. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using a thiazide diuretic.

If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Store hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What should I avoid while taking Uniretic (hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril)?

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor’s instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.

Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.

Avoid drinking alcohol, which can increase some of the side effects of hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril. Avoid using other medicines that make you light-headed (such as cold medicine, pain medication, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety). They can add to the side effects of hydrochlorothiazide and moexipril. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these medicines, or any other blood pressure medications.

Uniphyl

30/06/10

Generic Name: theophylline (thee OFF i lin)
Brand Names: Elixophyllin, Theo-24, Theo-Time, TheoCap, Theochron, Uniphyl

What is Uniphyl (theophylline)?

Theophylline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the lungs and chest, and makes the lungs less sensitive to allergens and other causes of bronchospasm.

Theophylline is used to treat the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis and emphysema.

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

What is the most important information I should know about Uniphyl (theophylline)?

If there are any changes in the brand, strength, or type of theophylline you use, your dosage needs may change. Always check your medicine when it is refilled to make sure you have received the correct brand and type as prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.

Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need to use a different dose. Avoid drinks or foods that contain caffeine, such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate. Caffeine may increase some of the side effects of theophylline.

There are many other medicines that can interact with theophylline. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list with you of all the medicines you use and show this list to any doctor or other healthcare provider who treats you.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Uniphyl (theophylline)?

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

Before taking theophylline, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

a stomach ulcer;
epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
a heart rhythm problem;
congestive heart failure;
fluid in your lungs;
underactive thyroid;
a high fever;
liver disease (such as cirrhosis or hepatitis);
kidney disease; or
if you have recently quit smoking cigarettes or marijuana.

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

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. Theophylline can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Older adults may be more likely to have side effects from theophylline.

How should I take Uniphyl (theophylline)?

Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication.

Take this medicine with a full glass of water.

You may take theophylline with or without food, but take it the same way every time.

Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release tablet or capsule unless your doctor tells you to. Swallow the pill whole. It is specially made to release medicine slowly in the body. Breaking or opening the pill would cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.

Your doctor may tell you to break a regular theophylline tablet before you take it. Some tablets have special scored marks on them to make breaking the tablet easier. Follow your doctor’s instructions.

Measure the liquid form of theophylline with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.

Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need to use a different dose. Store theophylline at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take 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 nausea, vomiting, insomnia, tremors, restlessness, uneven heartbeats, and seizure (convulsions). Seizures caused by a theophylline overdose can cause death or permanent brain damage.

What should I avoid while taking Uniphyl (theophylline)?

Theophylline can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

If it does get into any of these areas, rinse with water. Ear infections may sometimes cause dizziness or a loss of balance. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Do not use other ear drops during treatment with chloroxylenol and pramoxine otic unless your doctor tells you to. Call your doctor if your infection does not improve, or if you have ear pain, burning or itching, hearing problems, or ear drainage or discharge.

To use the ear drops, first remove the cap from the dropper bottle. Lie down or tilt your head with your ear facing upward. Pull back on your ear gently to open up the ear canal. If giving this medicine to a child, pull down on the earlobe to open the ear canal. Hold the dropper upside down over the ear canal and drop the correct number of drops into the ear.

Do not place the dropper tip into your ear, or allow the tip to touch any surface. It may become contaminated.

After using the ear drops, stay lying down with your head tilted for at least 5 minutes. You may use a small piece of cotton to plug the ear and keep the medicine from draining out. Follow your doctor’s instructions about the use of cotton.

Wipe the dropper tip with a clean tissue. Do not wash the tip with water or soap.

Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Call your doctor if your infection does not improve.

Store chloroxylenol and pramoxine otic at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

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.

Uni-Tann D

30/06/10

Generic Name: diphenhydramine and phenylephrine (DYE fen HYE dra meenand FEN il EFF rin)
Brand Names: Alahist LQ, Aldex-CT, Children’s Triacting Night Time, D-Tann, Dimetapp Nighttime Cold & Congestion, Diphenmax D, Dytan-D, PediaCare Children’s Allergy & Cold, Robitussin Night Time Cough & Cold, Robitussin Night Time Cough & Cold Children’s, Robitussin Night Time Cough & Cold Pediatric, Triaminic Night Time Cold & Cough

What is Uni-Tann D (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

The combination of diphenhydramine and phenylephrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Diphenhydramine and phenylephrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Uni-Tann D (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or sleep medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of one or more types of medicine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains an antihistamine, decongestant, or cough suppressant. Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking this medication. It can add to drowsiness caused by an antihistamine.

This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Tell your doctor if you regularly use other medicines that make you sleepy (such as other cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression, or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by diphenhydramine.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Uni-Tann D (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to diphenhydramine or phenylephrine.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

asthma;
heart disease or high blood pressure;
diabetes;
a thyroid disorder;
glaucoma;
kidney disease;
an enlarged prostate; or
problems with urination.

If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.

This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. This medication may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Older adults may be more likely to have side effects from this medication.

How should I take Uni-Tann D (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

Measure the liquid form of this medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.

Make sure you chew the chewable tablet before you swallow it.

This medication can cause you to have unusual results with allergy skin tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking an antihistamine.

Store this medicine at room temperature, away from heat, light, and moisture.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since cold or allergy medicine is usually taken only as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take 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 feeling restless or nervous, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, warmth or tingly feeling, or seizure (convulsions).

What should I avoid while taking Uni-Tann D (diphenhydramine and phenylephrine)?

Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking this medication. It can add to drowsiness caused by an antihistamine. Tell your doctor if you regularly use other medicines that make you sleepy (such as other cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression, or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by diphenhydramine.

This medication can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather.

Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or sleep medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Antihistamines, decongestants, and cough suppressants are contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of one or more types of medicine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains an antihistamine, decongestant, or cough suppressant.
