Cafcit (caffeine citrate) Injection and Cafcit (caffeine citrate) Oral Solution

Rx ONLY



Cafcit Description


Both Cafcit® (caffeine citrate) Injection for intravenous administration and Cafcit® (caffeine citrate) Oral Solution are clear, colorless, sterile, non-pyrogenic, preservative-free, aqueous solutions adjusted to pH 4.7. Each mL contains 20 mg caffeine citrate (equivalent to 10 mg of caffeine base) prepared in solution by the addition of 10 mg caffeine anhydrous to 5.0 mg citric acid monohydrate, 8.3 mg sodium citrate dihydrate and Water for Injection.


Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, is an odorless white crystalline powder or granule, with a bitter taste. It is sparingly soluble in water and ethanol at room temperature. The chemical name of caffeine is 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione. In the presence of citric acid it forms caffeine citrate salt in solution. The structural formula and molecular weight of caffeine citrate follows.

Cafcit - Clinical Pharmacology



Mechanism of Action


Caffeine is structurally related to other methylxanthines, theophylline, and theobromine. It is a bronchial smooth muscle relaxant, a CNS stimulant, a cardiac muscle stimulant, and a diuretic.


Although the mechanism of action of caffeine in apnea of prematurity is not known, several mechanisms have been hypothesized. These include: (1) stimulation of the respiratory center, (2) increased minute ventilation, (3) decreased threshold to hypercapnia, (4) increased response to hypercapnia, (5) increased skeletal muscle tone, (6) decreased diaphragmatic fatigue, (7) increased metabolic rate, and (8) increased oxygen consumption.


Most of these effects have been attributed to antagonism of adenosine receptors, both A1 and A2 subtypes, by caffeine, which has been demonstrated in receptor binding assays and observed at concentrations approximating those achieved therapeutically.



Pharmacokinetics


Absorption

After oral administration of 10 mg caffeine base/kg to preterm neonates, the peak plasma level (Cmax) for caffeine ranged from 6-10 mg/L and the mean time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) ranged from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The Tmax was not affected by formula feeding. The absolute bioavailability, however, was not fully examined in preterm neonates.


Distribution

Caffeine is rapidly distributed into the brain. Caffeine levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of preterm neonates approximate their plasma levels. The mean volume of distribution of caffeine in infants (0.8-0.9 L/kg) is slightly higher than that in adults (0.6 L/kg). Plasma protein binding data are not available for neonates or infants. In adults, the mean plasma protein binding in vitro is reported to be approximately 36%.


Metabolism

Hepatic cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) is involved in caffeine biotransformation. Caffeine metabolism in preterm neonates is limited due to their immature hepatic enzyme systems.


Interconversion between caffeine and theophylline has been reported in preterm neonates; caffeine levels are approximately 25% of theophylline levels after theophylline administration and approximately 3-8% of caffeine administered would be expected to convert to theophylline.


Elimination

In young infants, the elimination of caffeine is much slower than that in adults due to immature hepatic and/or renal function. Mean half-life (T1/2) and fraction excreted unchanged in urine (Ae) of caffeine in infants have been shown to be inversely related to gestational/postconceptual age. In neonates, the T1/2 is approximately 3-4 days and the Ae is approximately 86% (within 6 days). By 9 months of age, the metabolism of caffeine approximates that seen in adults (T1/2 = 5 hours and Ae = 1%).


Special Populations

Studies examining the pharmacokinetics of caffeine in neonates with hepatic or renal insufficiency have not been conducted. Cafcit (caffeine citrate) should be administered with caution in preterm neonates with impaired renal or hepatic function. Serum concentrations of caffeine should be monitored and dose administration of Cafcit should be adjusted to avoid toxicity in this population.


Clinical Studies


One multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial compared Cafcit (caffeine citrate) to placebo in eighty five (85) preterm infants (gestational age 28 to <33 weeks) with apnea of prematurity. Apnea of prematurity was defined as having at least 6 apnea episodes of greater than 20 seconds duration in a 24-hour period with no other identifiable cause of apnea. A 1 mL/kg (20 mg/kg caffeine citrate providing 10 mg/kg as caffeine base) loading dose of Cafcit was administered intravenously, followed by a 0.25 mL/kg (5 mg/kg caffeine citrate providing 2.5 mg/kg of caffeine base) daily maintenance dose administered either intravenously or orally (generally through a feeding tube). The duration of treatment in this study was limited to 10 to 12 days. The protocol allowed infants to be "rescued" with open-label caffeine citrate treatment if their apnea remained uncontrolled during the double-blind phase of the trial.


The percentage of patients without apnea on day 2 of treatment (24-48 hours after the loading dose) was significantly greater with Cafcit than placebo. The following table summarizes the clinically relevant endpoints evaluated in this study:

1 Of 85 patients who received drug, 3 were not included in the efficacy analysis because they had <6 apnea episodes/24 hours at baseline.


In this 10-12 day trial, the mean number of days with zero apnea events was 3.0 in the Cafcit group and 1.2 in the placebo group. The mean number of days with a 50% reduction from baseline in apnea events was 6.8 in the Cafcit group and 4.6 in the placebo group.



Indications and Usage for Cafcit


Cafcit (caffeine citrate) is indicated for the short-term treatment of apnea of prematurity in infants between 28 and <33 weeks gestational age.



Contraindications


Cafcit (caffeine citrate) is contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated hypersensitivity to any of its components.



Warnings


During the double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 6 cases of necrotizing enterocolitis developed among the 85 infants studied (caffeine=46, placebo=39), with 3 cases resulting in death. Five of the six patients with necrotizing enterocolitis were randomized to or had been exposed to Cafcit (caffeine citrate).


Reports in the published literature have raised a question regarding the possible association between the use of methylxanthines and development of necrotizing enterocolitis, although a causal relationship between methylxanthine use and necrotizing enterocolitis has not been established. Therefore, as with all preterm infants, patients being treated with Cafcit should be carefully monitored for the development of necrotizing enterocolitis.



Precautions



General


Apnea of prematurity is a diagnosis of exclusion. Other causes of apnea (e.g., central nervous system disorders, primary lung disease, anemia, sepsis, metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular abnormalities, or obstructive apnea) should be ruled out or properly treated prior to initiation of Cafcit (caffeine citrate).


Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant and in cases of caffeine overdose, seizures have been reported. Cafcit should be used with caution in infants with seizure disorders.


The duration of treatment of apnea of prematurity in the placebo-controlled trial was limited to 10 to 12 days. The safety and efficacy of Cafcit for longer periods of treatment have not been established. Safety and efficacy of Cafcit for use in the prophylactic treatment of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or prior to extubation in mechanically ventilated infants have also not been established.



Cardiovascular


Although no cases of cardiac toxicity were reported in the placebo-controlled trial, caffeine has been shown to increase heart rate, left ventricular output, and stroke volume in published studies. Therefore, Cafcit should be used with caution in infants with cardiovascular disease.



Renal and Hepatic Systems


Cafcit should be administered with caution in infants with impaired renal or hepatic function. Serum concentrations of caffeine should be monitored and dose administration of Cafcit should be adjusted to avoid toxicity in this population. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Elimination, Special Populations.)



Information for patients


Parents/caregivers of patients receiving Cafcit (caffeine citrate) Oral Solution should receive the following instructions:


1. Cafcit does not contain any preservatives and each vial is for single use only. Any unused portion of the medication should be discarded.


2. It is important that the dose of Cafcit be measured accurately, i.e., with a 1cc or other appropriate syringe.


3. Consult your physician if the baby continues to have apnea events; do not increase the dose of Cafcit without medical consultation.


4. Consult your physician if the baby begins to demonstrate signs of gastrointestinal intolerance, such as abdominal distention, vomiting, or bloody stools, or seems lethargic.


5. Cafcit should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to its administration. Vials containing discolored solution or visible particulate matter should be discarded.



Laboratory tests


Prior to initiation of Cafcit (caffeine citrate), baseline serum levels of caffeine should be measured in infants previously treated with theophylline, since preterm infants metabolize theophylline to caffeine. Likewise, baseline serum levels of caffeine should be measured in infants born to mothers who consumed caffeine prior to delivery, since caffeine readily crosses the placenta.


In the placebo-controlled clinical trial, caffeine levels ranged from 8 to 40 mg/L. A therapeutic plasma concentration range of caffeine could not be determined from the placebo-controlled clinical trial. Serious toxicity has been reported in the literature when serum caffeine levels exceed 50 mg/L. Serum concentrations of caffeine may need to be monitored periodically throughout treatment to avoid toxicity.


In clinical studies reported in the literature, cases of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia have been observed. Therefore, serum glucose may need to be periodically monitored in infants receiving Cafcit.



Interactions


Drug interactions

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) is known to be the major enzyme involved in the metabolism of caffeine. Therefore, caffeine has the potential to interact with drugs that are substrates for CYP1A2, inhibit CYP1A2, or induce CYP1A2.


Few data exist on drug interactions with caffeine in preterm neonates. Based on adult data, lower doses of caffeine may be needed following coadministration of drugs which are reported to decrease caffeine elimination (e.g., cimetidine and ketoconazole) and higher caffeine doses may be needed following coadministration of drugs that increase caffeine elimination (e.g., phenobarbital and phenytoin).


Caffeine administered concurrently with ketoprofen reduced the urine volume in four healthy volunteers. The clinical significance of this interaction in preterm neonates is not known.


Interconversion between caffeine and theophylline has been reported in preterm neonates. The concurrent use of these drugs is not recommended.



Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility


In a 2-year study in Sprague-Dawley rats, caffeine (as caffeine base) administered in drinking water was not carcinogenic in male rats at doses up to 102 mg/kg or in female rats at doses up to 170 mg/kg (approximately 2 and 4 times, respectively, the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis). In an 18-month study in C57BL/6 mice, no evidence of tumorigenicity was seen at dietary doses up to 55 mg/kg (less than the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis).


Caffeine (as caffeine base) increased the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) SCE/cell metaphase (exposure time dependent) in an in vivo mouse metaphase analysis. Caffeine also potentiated the genotoxicity of known mutagens and enhanced the micronuclei formation (5-fold) in folate-deficient mice. However, caffeine did not increase chromosomal aberrations in in vitro Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO) and human lymphocyte assays and was not mutagenic in an in vitro CHO/hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) gene mutation assay, except at cytotoxic concentrations. In addition, caffeine was not clastogenic in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.


Caffeine (as caffeine base) administered to male rats at 50 mg/kg/day subcutaneously (approximately equal to the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis) for 4 days prior to mating with untreated females, caused decreased male reproductive performance in addition to causing embryotoxicity. In addition, long-term exposure to high oral doses of caffeine (3.0 g over 7 weeks) was toxic to rat testes as manifested by spermatogenic cell degeneration.



Pregnancy


Pregnancy Category C

Concern for the teratogenicity of caffeine is not relevant when administered to infants. In studies performed in adult animals, caffeine (as caffeine base) administered to pregnant mice as sustained release pellets at 50 mg/kg (less than the maximum recommended intravenous loading dose for infants on a mg/m2 basis), during the period of organogenesis, caused a low incidence of cleft palate and exencephaly in the fetuses. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.



Adverse Reactions


Overall, the reported number of adverse events in the double-blind period of the controlled trial was similar for the Cafcit (caffeine citrate) and placebo groups. The following table shows adverse events that occurred in the double-blind period of the controlled trial and that were more frequent in Cafcit-treated patients than placebo.

In addition to the cases above, three cases of necrotizing enterocolitis were diagnosed in patients receiving Cafcit (caffeine citrate) during the open-label phase of the study.


Three of the infants who developed necrotizing enterocolitis during the trial died. All had been exposed to caffeine. Two were randomized to caffeine, and one placebo patient was “rescued” with open-label caffeine for uncontrolled apnea.


Adverse events described in the published literature include: central nervous system stimulation (ie, irritability, restlessness, jitteriness), cardiovascular effects (ie, tachycardia, increased left ventricular output, and increased stroke volume), gastrointestinal effects (ie, increased gastric aspirate, gastrointestinal intolerance), alterations in serum glucose (ie, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia), and renal effects (ie, increased urine flow rate, increased creatinine clearance, and increased sodium and calcium excretion). Published long-term follow-up studies have not shown caffeine to adversely affect neurological development or growth parameters.



Overdosage


Following overdose, serum caffeine levels have ranged from approximately 24 mg/L (a postmarketing spontaneous case report in which an infant exhibited irritability, poor feeding, and insomnia) to 350 mg/L. Serious toxicity has been associated with serum levels greater than 50 mg/L (see PRECAUTIONSLaboratory testsand DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Signs and symptoms reported in the literature after caffeine overdose in preterm infants include fever, tachypnea, jitteriness, insomnia, fine tremor of the extremities, hypertonia, opisthotonos, tonic-clonic movements, nonpurposeful jaw and lip movements, vomiting, hyperglycemia, elevated blood urea nitrogen, and elevated total leukocyte concentration. Seizures have also been reported in cases of overdose. One case of caffeine overdose complicated by development of intraventricular hemorrhage and long-term neurological sequelae has been reported. Another case of caffeine citrate overdose (from New Zealand; not Cafcit) of an estimated 600 mg caffeine citrate (approximately 322 mg/kg) administered over 40 minutes was complicated by tachycardia, ST depression, respiratory distress, heart failure, gastric distention, acidosis, and a severe extravasation burn with tissue necrosis at the peripheral intravenous injection site. No deaths associated with caffeine overdose have been reported in preterm infants.


Treatment of caffeine overdose is primarily symptomatic and supportive. Caffeine levels have been shown to decrease after exchange transfusions. Convulsions may be treated with intravenous administration of diazepam or a barbiturate such as pentobarbital sodium.



Cafcit Dosage and Administration


Prior to initiation of Cafcit (caffeine citrate), baseline serum levels of caffeine should be measured in infants previously treated with theophylline, since preterm infants metabolize theophylline to caffeine. Likewise, baseline serum levels of caffeine should be measured in infants born to mothers who consumed caffeine prior to delivery, since caffeine readily crosses the placenta.

Serum concentrations of caffeine may need to be monitored periodically throughout treatment to avoid toxicity. Serious toxicity has been associated with serum levels greater than 50 mg/L.


Cafcit should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Vials containing discolored solution or visible particulate matter should be discarded.


Drug Compatibility


To test for drug compatibility with common intravenous solutions or medications, 20 mL of Cafcit (caffeine citrate) Injection were combined with 20 mL of a solution or medication, with the exception of an Intralipid® admixture, which was combined as 80 mL/80 mL. The physical appearance of the combined solutions was evaluated for precipitation. The admixtures were mixed for 10 minutes and then assayed for caffeine. The admixtures were then continually mixed for 24 hours, with further sampling for caffeine assays at 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours.

CFCO-P01



Cafcit® (caffeine citrate) Oral Solution


Rx ONLY


Each bottle (vial) of Cafcit® contains a total of 60 mg of caffeine citrate in 3 mL (20 mg/mL).


Information and Instructions for Use


This leaflet tells you about CAFClT (KAF-sit) and how to give it to your baby. Read the following information before giving this medicine to your baby. Completely discuss Cafcit with your baby’s doctor. Continue to discuss any questions you have about this medicine at your baby’s checkups.


After you remove your baby’s dose, throw away the open bottle (vial) and all medicine leftin it. Use each vial of Cafcit for only one dose. There will be extra medicine left in the vial afte one dose is removed. Leftover medicine should not be used because Cafcit does not contain preservatives. Once the vial is open, any medicine that is not used right away must be discarded.


What is Cafcit?


The main ingredient of Cafcit is caffeine citrate. Cafcit is a clear, colorless, medicine to treat apnea of prematurity—short periods when premature babies stop breathing. Apnea of prematurity is due to the baby’s breathing centers not being fully developed.


How do I give Cafcit to my baby?


Give Cafcit to your baby once a day, at about the same time each day. Your baby’s doctor will prescribe the right amount of Cafcit based on your baby’s weight and age. Carefully follow the doctor’s dosing instructions.


Measure the dose of Cafcit carefully. Your baby’s doctor, nurse, or pharmacist will give you a suitable syringe or supply of syringes to measure small but accurate doses of Cafcit.


Never change (increase or decrease) your baby’s dose without speaking to your baby’s doctor.


If your baby continues to have periods of apnea, call your baby’s doctor right away.


Cafcit can be swallowed by mouth or given through a feeding tube. Based on your baby’s own situation, your baby’s doctor or other healthcare professional should teach you how to give Cafcit correctly.


Cafcit should be clear and colorless. Before giving Cafcit, look for small particles, cloudiness, or discoloration in the medicine. Do not use vials that contain cloudy or discolored medicine, orany visible particles.


Cafcit does NOT contain any preservatives. Do not open the vial until it is time for your baby to receive the dose of medicine. Use each vial only once. After you remove your baby’s dose, throw away the vial and all medicine left in the opened vial.


Ten (10) vials of Cafcit are packaged in a child-resistant container. CAFClT vials are NOT CHILD RESISTANT. Always store vials of Cafcit in the child-resistant container. Follow the instructions below to open the child-resistant container, to open a vial of Cafcit, and to remove a dose of medicine from the vial.


To open the child-resistant container that holds the vials of Cafcit:


(Instructions with pictures are also printed on the top of the container.)


1. Hold the bottom half of the child-resistant container with one hand and push the lower semicircular section on the front of the container with your thumb.


2. With your other hand, pull the cover up until you hear it click.


3. While holding the ends of the bottom half of the container with both hands, place both index fingers on the two semicircular locking tabs on the sides of the container.


4. Press the two tabs and raise the cover up.


To open a vial of Cafcit:


1. Hold the blue plastic top between the thumb and index finger. Use your thumb to flip the blue plastic top completely off the vial.


2. Carefully lift up the metal ring.


3. Pull the metal ring away from the vial and then pull it down towards the bottom of the vial without twisting the ring.


4. After you pull the ring down and the metal band around the top of the vial is completely broken through, carefully remove the rest of the metal band by pulling it out and away from the vial.


5. Being careful not to spill any medicine, remove the rubber stopper from the top of the vial.


To remove the prescribed dose from the vial:


You will need a small syringe to measure the exact amount of medicine that your baby’s doctor prescribed. Your baby’s doctor, nurse or pharmacist will give you this small syringe. Note that a milliliter (mL) is the same as a cubic centimeter (cc).


1. Insert the tip of the syringe in the medicine and pull up on the plunger to draw the medicine into the syringe. Remove slightly more of the medicine than the exact amount to be given to your baby.


2. Turn the syringe tip up so that any air in it rises to the top. Remove the air by gently pushing up on the syringe plunger. Continue to push the syringe plunger up to remove any extra medicine in the syringe, until only the exact number of milliliters (or cubic centimeters) that your baby’s doctor prescribed remains in the syringe.


3. Give the Cafcit to your baby as your baby’s doctor instructed.


4. Throw away the sharp metal pieces, the rubber stopper, the open vial, and any medicine that remains in it after your baby receives the dose.


What are possible side effects of Cafcit?


Your baby may or may not develop side effects from taking Cafcit. Each baby is different. If your baby develops one or more of the following symptoms, speak with your baby’s doctor right away:


• restlessness, jitteriness, or shakiness


• faster heart beat


• increased urination (increased diaper wetting)


The following symptoms may be caused by serious bowel or stomach problems. Call your baby’s doctor right away if your baby develops:


• bloated abdomen (stomach area)


• vomiting


• bloody stools (bloody bowel movements)


• loss of energy, lethargy (acting sluggish)


This is not a complete list of side effects reported with Cafcit. If you have a concern about your baby, speak with your baby’s doctor. If you want more information about Cafcit, speak with your baby’s doctor or pharmacist.

    Nicorette 15mg Inhalator





    1. Name Of The Medicinal Product



    Nicorette® 15mg Inhalator / Boots NicAssist 15 mg Inhalator.


    2. Qualitative And Quantitative Composition



    Nicotine 15mg per cartridge.



    For a full list of excipients see section 6.1



    3. Pharmaceutical Form



    Inhalation cartridge for oromucosal use.



    A white to slightly coloured porous plug in a sealed, transparent plastic tube.



    4. Clinical Particulars



    4.1 Therapeutic Indications



    Nicorette Inhalator relieves and/or prevents craving and nicotine withdrawal symptoms associated with tobacco dependence. It is indicated to aid smokers wishing to quit or reduce prior to quitting, to assist smokers who are unwilling or unable to smoke, and as a safer alternative to smoking for smokers and those around them.



    Nicorette Inhalator is indicated in pregnant and lactating women making a quit attempt.



    4.2 Posology And Method Of Administration



    Adults and Children over 12 years of age



    Nicorette Inhalator should be used whenever the urge to smoke is felt or to prevent cravings in situations where these are likely to occur.



    Smokers willing or able to stop smoking immediately should initially replace all their cigarettes with the Inhalator and as soon as they are able, reduce the number of cartridges used until they have stopped completely.



    Smokers aiming to reduce cigarettes should use the Inhalator, as needed, between smoking episodes to prolong smoke-free intervals and with the intention to reduce smoking as much as possible.



    As soon as they are ready smokers should aim to quit smoking completely.



    Maximum daily dose: 6 cartridges.



    When making a quit attempt behavioural therapy, advice and support will normally improve the success rate. Those who have quit smoking, but are having difficulty discontinuing their Inhalator are recommended to contact their pharmacist or doctor for advice.



    Each cartridge can be used for approximately eight 5-minute sessions, with each cartridge lasting approximately 40 minutes of intense use. The more the subject is able to use the inhalator, the easier it will be to achieve maximum reduction of cigarettes and/or quit smoking completely.



    Method of administration



    The cartridge is inserted into the mouthpiece according to the instructions.



    When a patient draws air into the mouth through the mouthpiece, nicotine is vaporised and absorbed by the buccal mucosa. Minimal nicotine reaches the lungs. The amount of nicotine from a puff is less than that from a cigarette. To compensate for less nicotine delivery from a puff it is necessary to inhale more often than when smoking a cigarette.



    The number of cartridges, frequency, puffing/inhalation time and technique does vary between individuals.



    The actual time that the cartridge is active depends on the intensity of use. After about 40 minutes of intense use the maximal dose is achieved and it is about then that the nicotine amounts released from the cartridge begin to fall away, such that the cartridge is rejected by the user.



    4.3 Contraindications



    Hypersensitivity to any component of the inhalator.



    Nicorette Inhalator is contraindicated in children under the age of 12 years.



    4.4 Special Warnings And Precautions For Use



    Any risks that may be associated with NRT are substantially outweighed by the well established dangers of continued smoking.



    Underlying cardiovascular disease: In stable cardiovascular disease Nicorette Inhalator presents a lesser hazard than continuing to smoke. However dependent smokers currently hospitalised as a result of myocardial infarction, severe dysrhythmia or CVA and who are considered to be haemodynamically unstable should be encouraged to stop smoking with non-pharmacological interventions. If this fails, Nicorette Inhalator may be considered, but as data on safety in this patient group are limited, initiation should only be under medical supervision.



    Diabetes mellitus: Patients with diabetes mellitus should be advised to monitor their blood sugar levels more closely than usual when NRT is initiated as catecholamines released by nicotine can affect carbohydrate metabolism.



    GI disease: Swallowed nicotine may exacerbate symptoms in patients suffering from oesophagitis, gastritis or peptic ulcers and oral NRT preparations should be used with caution in these conditions. Ulcerative stomatitis has been reported.



    Renal or hepatic impairment: Nicorette Inhalator should be used with caution in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment and/or severe renal impairment as the clearance of nicotine or its metabolites may be decreased with the potential for increased adverse effects.



    Danger in small children: Doses of nicotine tolerated by adult and adolescent smokers can produce severe toxicity in small children that may be fatal. Products containing nicotine should not be left where they may be misused, handled or ingested by children.



    Phaeochromocytoma and uncontrolled hyperthyroidism: As nicotine causes release of catecholamines, Nicorette Inhalator should be used with caution in patients with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or phaeochromocytoma.



    Transferred dependence: Transferred dependence is rare and is both less harmful and easier to break than smoking dependence.



    Stopping smoking: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco smoke induce the metabolism of drugs metabolised by CYP 1A2 (and possibly by CYP 1A1). When a smoker stops smoking, this may result in slower metabolism and a consequent rise in blood levels of such drugs. This is of potential clinical importance for products with a narrow therapeutic window, e.g. theophylline, clozapine and ropinirole.



    Lung Disease: Patients with obstructive lung disease may find use of the Inhalator difficult. Nicotine Gum, Patch, Nasal Spray or Sublingual tablet may be preferred in such cases. Nicorette Inhalator should be used with caution in patients with chronic throat disease and bronchospastic disease.



    Allergic reactions: Susceptibility to angioedema and urticaria.



    Potential choking hazard: This product contains some small parts. Any unused cartridges should remain in the cartridge tray to minimise the risk of swallowing.



    4.5 Interaction With Other Medicinal Products And Other Forms Of Interaction



    No clinically relevant interactions between nicotine replacement therapy and other drugs have definitely been established. However nicotine may possibly enhance the haemodynamic effects of adenosine i.e. increase in blood pressure and heart rate and also increase pain response (angina-pectoris type chest pain) provoked by adenosine administration.



    4.6 Pregnancy And Lactation



    Pregnancy



    Stopping smoking is the single most effective intervention for improving the health of both the pregnant smoker and her baby, and the earlier abstinence is achieved the better. Ideally smoking cessation during pregnancy should be achieved without NRT. However, if the mother cannot (or is considered unlikely to) quit without pharmacological support, NRT may be used as the risk to the foetus is lower than that expected with smoking tobacco. Stopping completely is by far the best option but if this is not achievable Nicorette Inhalator may be used in pregnancy as a safer alternative to smoking. Because of the potential for nicotine-free periods, intermittent dose forms are preferable, but patches may be necessary if there is significant nausea and/or vomiting. If patches are used they should, if possible, be removed at night when the foetus would not normally be exposed to nicotine.



    Lactation



    The relatively small amounts of nicotine found in breast milk during NRT use are less hazardous to the infant than second-hand smoke. Intermittent dose forms would minimize the amount of nicotine in breast milk and permit feeding when levels were at their lowest.



    4.7 Effects On Ability To Drive And Use Machines



    This medicinal product has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.



    4.8 Undesirable Effects



    Some symptoms may be related to nicotine withdrawal associated with stopping smoking. These can include; irritability/aggression, dysphoria/depressed mood, anxiety, restlessness, poor concentration, increased appetite/weight gain, urges to smoke (cravings), night-time awakenings/sleep disturbance and decreased heart rate.



    Increased frequency of aphthous ulcer may occur after abstinence from smoking. The causality is unclear.



    Nicorette Inhalator may cause adverse reactions similar to those associated with nicotine given by other means, including smoking, and these are mainly dose-dependent. At recommended doses Nicorette Inhalator has not been found to cause any serious adverse effects. Excessive use of Nicorette Inhalator by those who have not been in the habit of inhaling tobacco smoke could possibly lead to nausea, faintness or headaches.



    Most of the undesirable effects reported by the patient occur during the first weeks after starting treatment. About 40% of users experience mild local reactions such as cough and irritation in the mouth and throat.

    4.9 Overdose



    Symptoms: The minimum lethal dose of nicotine in a non-tolerant man has been estimated to be 40 to 60mg. Symptoms of acute nicotine poisoning include nausea, salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, sweating headache, dizziness, disturbed hearing and marked weakness. In extreme cases, these symptoms may be followed by hypotension, rapid or weak or irregular pulse, breathing difficulties, prostration, circulatory collapse and terminal convulsions.



    Management of an overdose: All nicotine in-take should stop immediately and the patient should be treated symptomatically. Artificial respiration should be instituted if necessary. Activated charcoal reduces the gastro-intestinal absorption of nicotine



    5. Pharmacological Properties



    5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties



    Pharmacotherapeutic Group: Drug for treatment of addiction.



    ATC Code: N07B A01



    Nicorette Inhalator facilitates uptake of nicotine through the buccal mucosa into the venous circulation. The amount taken up alleviates the craving symptoms caused by the absence of nicotine from smoking.



    Increased appetite is a recognised symptom of nicotine withdrawal and post-cessation weight gain is common. Clinical trials have demonstrated that Nicotine Replacement Therapy can help control weight following a quit attempt.



    5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties



    The following information is based on data derived from Nicorette 10mg Inhalator:



    Nicotine given i.v. has a volume of the distribution of 2 or 3 l/kg with a half life of 1-2 hours. Average plasma clearance is about 1-2 l/min mainly in the liver. More than 20 metabolites are known, all less active than nicotine: cotinine, with a half life of 15-20 hours and concentrations ten times that of nicotine is the main one.



    Plasma binding of nicotine below 5% means significant displacement of drugs or nicotine is unlikely. Nicotine is excreted in the urine principally as cotinine (15%), 3-hydroxycotinine (45%), nicotine (10%).



    Most inhaled nicotine is absorbed via the buccal mucosa. Forced rapid inhalation over 20 minutes, results in a wide range of nicotine doses (1.3-6.2 mg). On average 2 mg of nicotine is released during 20 minutes of intensive use. Uptake is slow and free of the peaks resultant from cigarette smoking. In normal use, plasma levels of 6-8ng/ml nicotine are obtained – about one third that from smoking, which is equivalent to an hourly 2mg nicotine chewing gum.



    When used like a cigarette the inhalator on average delivers 1mg in 80 puffs (e.g. 8 puffs per minute for 10 minutes). When used in this way this results in, a degree of nicotine substitution of about 50% compared to hourly smoking. Peak plasma levels occur within 15 minutes after the end of inhalation. Forced rapid inhalation for 20 minutes per hour for 12 hours achieved steady state plasma levels of 20-25ng/ml.



    Ambient temperature affects volatilisation of nicotine, the biologically available dose rising by 35% for each 10°C above 20°C. Use below 15°C is not recommended.



    Because the pattern of use if decided by the patient up to a limit of 6 cartridges per day to relieve craving, therapeutic levels of nicotine are individual, dictated by the level of dependence.



    5.3 Preclinical Safety Data



    None stated.



    6. Pharmaceutical Particulars



    6.1 List Of Excipients



    Levomenthol



    Porous plug of polyethylene



    6.2 Incompatibilities



    Not applicable



    6.3 Shelf Life



    Two years.



    Once inserted into the mouthpiece the cartridge should be disposed of within 48 hours even if it has not been used.



    6.4 Special Precautions For Storage



    Store below 25°C.



    This product works best at room temperature. In cold conditions (below 15°C) the nicotine evaporates less readily and it will be necessary to inhale more frequently, whilst in warm conditions (above 30°C) nicotine will evaporate more readily and inhalation should be less frequent to avoid overdose.



    6.5 Nature And Contents Of Container



    Polypropylene mouthpiece with acrylonitrile / methacrylate copolymer cartridges containing polyethylene porous plugs with polyester / aluminium foil seals.



    The cartridges are provided in a PVC tray which is sealed with aluminium foil.

    6.6 Special Precautions For Disposal And Other Handling



    Potential choking hazard: This product contains some small parts. Any unused cartridges should remain in the cartridge tray to minimise the risk of swallowing.



    Because of residual nicotine, used cartridges may be a hazard to children, animals and fish and so should never be thrown away or left lying around. They should be kept in the case and disposed of with household rubbish.

    Uses For cocaine hydrochloride

    Cocaine is a local anesthetic. It is applied to certain areas of the body (for example, the nose, mouth, or throat) to cause loss of feeling or numbness. This allows certain kinds of procedures or surgery to be done without causing pain.


    Cocaine can cause psychological dependence (a strong desire to continue using the medicine because of the "high" feeling it produces). This may lead to cocaine abuse (more frequent use and/or use of larger amounts of cocaine) and to an increased chance of serious side effects. Cocaine abuse has caused death from heart or breathing failure.


    Use of cocaine as a local anesthetic for an examination or surgery is not likely to cause psychological dependence or other serious side effects. However, if cocaine is absorbed into the body too quickly, serious side effects can occur. Also, some people are especially sensitive to the effects of cocaine. Unwanted effects may occur in these people even with small amounts of the medicine. Before receiving cocaine as a local anesthetic, you should discuss its use with your doctor.


    Cocaine is applied only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.


    Before Using cocaine hydrochloride


    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 cocaine hydrochloride, the following should be considered:


    Allergies


    Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to cocaine hydrochloride 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


    Cocaine can cause serious side effects in any patient. Therefore, it is especially important that you discuss with the child's doctor the good that cocaine hydrochloride may do as well as the risks of using it.


    Geriatric


    Side effects, including dizziness, lightheadedness, or fast or irregular heartbeats, may be more likely to occur in elderly patients. The elderly are usually more sensitive than younger adults to the effects of cocaine.


    Pregnancy








    Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
    All TrimestersCAnimal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

    Breast Feeding


    Studies in women breastfeeding have demonstrated harmful infant effects. An alternative to this medication should be prescribed or you should stop breastfeeding while using cocaine hydrochloride.


    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. When you are receiving cocaine hydrochloride, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.


    Using cocaine hydrochloride with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.


    • Dihydroergotamine

    • Phenelzine

    Using cocaine hydrochloride with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.


    • Hyaluronidase

    • St John's Wort

    Using cocaine hydrochloride with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.


    • Cannabis

    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. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.


    Using cocaine hydrochloride with any of the following may cause an increased risk of certain side effects but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use cocaine hydrochloride, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.


    • Ethanol

    Other Medical Problems


    The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of cocaine hydrochloride. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


    • Cancer or

    • Chest pain, or history of, or

    • Convulsions (seizures), history of, or

    • Fast or irregular heartbeat or

    • Heart or blood vessel disease or

    • High blood pressure or

    • Liver disease or

    • Myocardial infarction (heart attack), history of, or

    • Overactive thyroid—The chance of serious side effects may be increased.

    • Tourette's syndrome—May make this condition worse.

    Proper Use of cocaine hydrochloride


    Your doctor or nurse will apply the smallest amount of medicine that will produce the needed effect before the procedure.


    Precautions While Using cocaine hydrochloride


    Cocaine and some of its metabolites (substances to which cocaine is broken down in the body) will appear in your blood and urine for several days after you receive the medicine. Tests for possible drug use will then be "positive" for cocaine. If you must have such a test within 5 days or so after receiving cocaine, be sure to tell the person in charge that you have recently received cocaine for medical reasons. It may be helpful to have written information from your doctor stating why the medicine was used, the date on which you received it, and the amount you received.


    cocaine hydrochloride 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 or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:


    Less common or Rare
    • Abdominal or stomach pain

    • chills

    • confusion

    • dizziness or lightheadedness

    • excitement, nervousness, restlessness, or any mood or mental changes

    • fast or irregular heartbeat

    • general feeling of discomfort or illness

    • hallucinations or seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there

    • headache (sudden)

    • increased sweating

    • nausea

    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

    Uses For Seba-Clear


    Salicylic acid is used to treat many skin disorders, such as acne, dandruff, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis of the skin and scalp, calluses, corns, common warts, and plantar warts, depending on the dosage form and strength of the preparation.


    Some of these preparations are available only with your doctor's prescription.


    Before Using Seba-Clear


    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


    Young children may be at increased risk of unwanted effects because of increased absorption of salicylic acid through the skin. Also, young children may be more likely to get skin irritation from salicylic acid. Salicylic acid should not be applied to large areas of the body, used for long periods of time, or used under occlusive dressing (air-tight covering, such as kitchen plastic wrap) in infants and children. Salicylic acid should not be used in children younger than 2 years of age.


    Geriatric


    Elderly people are more likely to have age-related blood vessel disease. This may increase the chance of problems during treatment with this medicine.


    Breast Feeding


    There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.


    Interactions with Medicines
