Guaivent

Generic Name: guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine (gwye FEN e sin/fen ill proe pa NOLE a meen)

Brand Names: Ami-Tex LA, Banex-LA, Coldloc-LA, Dayquil Sinus Pressure and Congestion, Despec, Entex LA, Exgest LA, G-Vent, Guaifenex PPA 75, Guaivent, Guiatex LA, Naldecon-EX Pediatric, Nasahist LA, Phentex-LA, Phenylfenesin LA, Poly-Vent, Profen LA, Stamoist LA, Triaminic Expectorant, Vanex-LA

What is Guaivent (guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine)?

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It is used to break up congestion and mucous to make breathing easier. Guaifenesin thins mucous, increases lubrication of the respiratory tract (lungs, nose and throat), and increases the removal of mucous.

Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries), which reduces swelling of mucous membranes in areas such as the nose and sinuses.

Guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine is used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and of infections of the sinuses, lungs, and throat.

Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.

Guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Drugs for function bowel disorders.

ATC Code: A03A Drugs for functional bowel disorders; A02D (Antiflatulents).

Mintec (peppermint oil) is an aromatic carminative which acts locally to relax gastro intestinal smooth muscle and relieve gastro-intestinal flatulence and colic. The enteric coating of the capsules is designed to delay release of the peppermint oil beyond the stomach and upper small bowel.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties

An open cross-over study was conducted in eight healthy volunteers, to compare the excretion pattern of menthol (the major constituent of peppermint,oil) from peppermint oil contained in gastro-resistant soft gelatin capsules (Mintec), and similar, uncoated capsules. In each leg of the study, each volunteer received 0.4 ml of peppermint oil as two capsules of one of the preparations. The excretion of the oil in the urine (as the glucuronide) was followed over a 24 hour period.

Mintec capsules significantly delayed the rate of excretion of menthol compared with the non-coated capsules.

The maximum amounts of menthol were excreted within 0 to 2 hours following administration of uncoated capsules and between 2 to 4 hours following Mintec administration. There were no significant differences between treatments in terms of the maximum or total amounts of menthol excreted over the 24 hour post-dose period.

Kerlone

Pronunciation: be-TAX-oh-lol
Generic Name: Betaxolol
Brand Name: Kerlone

If you have angina or have had heart problems, DO NOT suddenly stop taking Kerlone without first consulting with your doctor. Severe chest pain, heart attack, very fast heart rate, and irregular heart rhythm may occur. If your doctor decides you should no longer take Kerlone, the dosage should be gradually reduced according to your doctor's instructions. You should be closely watched by your doctor and limit physical activity, particularly if you have certain kinds of heart disease. Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with Kerlone.

Kerlone is used for:

Treating high blood pressure. It may be used alone or with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Kerlone is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent. It works by slowing down the heart and reducing blood pressure, which helps it pump more efficiently and reduces the workload on the heart. It may also interfere with the action of adrenalin and other similar chemicals in the brain preventing migraine headaches.

Do NOT use Kerlone if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Kerlone


• you have a very slow heartbeat, heart block, uncontrolled heart failure, or shock caused by heart failure, or you have had a heart attack and have very low blood pressure


• you have asthma or Raynaud phenomenon


• you are a child with diabetes or heart failure


• you are taking mibefradil

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

Before using Kerlone:

Some medical conditions may interact with Kerlone. 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 (eg, medicines to treat colds or congestion), herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances or are taking medicine for allergies


• if you have or have ever had an adrenal gland tumor; anaphylaxis; asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, or other lung disease; congestive heart failure; blood vessel problems; slow heartbeat; diabetes; kidney problems; low blood sugar; or overactive thyroid


• if you have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome


• if you are having surgery

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

• Antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, flecainide, quinidine), antipsychotics (eg, chlorpromazine, haloperidol), bupivacaine, calcium channel blockers (eg, mibefradil, nifedipine, verapamil), catecholamine-depleting agents (eg reserpine), cimetidine, digoxin, ketanserin, mefloquine, or thioamines (eg, tapazole) because potentially life-threatening heart-related side effects may occur, including very slow heart rate; abnormal heartbeat; lightheadedness, especially upon standing; difficulty breathing, especially when lying down; loss of function in the heart and lungs; and swelling of ankles


• Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), clonidine, phenytoin, rifampin, or thyroid hormones (eg, levothyroxine) because they may decrease Kerlone's effectiveness


• Certain stimulants (adrenalin, pseudoephedrine), hydralazine, insulin, lidocaine, quinazolines (eg, doxazosin), rizatriptan, or theophylline because their actions and the risk of their side effects may be increased by Kerlone

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

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

• Take Kerlone by mouth with or without food.


• Do not take an antacid that has aluminum in it within 2 hours of Kerlone.


• Kerlone works best if it is taken at the same time each day.


• Continue to use Kerlone even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
