dronedarone


Generic Name: dronedarone (droe NE da rone)

Brand Names: Multaq


What is dronedarone?

Dronedarone is an antiarrhythmic medication that affects the rhythm of heartbeats.


Dronedarone helps keep the heart beating normally in people with life-threatening heart rhythm disorders of the atrium (the upper chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow into the heart) and risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, a history of stroke, or being over 70 years old.


Dronedarone is used to treat certain heart rhythm disorders called atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Dronedarone is given to reduce the need for hospitalization due to these heart conditions.


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


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


Dronedarone is used to treat intermittent or "temporary" heart rhythm disorders. In some people with "permanent" atrial fibrillation, dronedarone increased the risk of stroke, hospitalization due to heart failure, and death. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk. Do not stop taking this medication without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. You should not use dronedarone if you are allergic to dronedarone, if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have severe liver disease, certain serious heart conditions, especially severe heart failure, "AV block" or sick sinus syndrome (unless you have a pacemaker), a history of slow heart beats that have caused you to faint, or if you were recently hospitalized for heart failure. There are many other medicines that can cause serious medical problems if you take them together with dronedarone. You may need to stop taking certain drugs while you are taking dronedarone. Tell your doctor about all other medications you use.

Also tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, a history of heart failure, an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood), or if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted in your chest.


Dronedarone can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not use dronedarone if you are pregnant.

You may need regular medical tests to be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects. Visit your doctor regularly.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking dronedarone?


Dronedarone is used to treat intermittent or "temporary" heart rhythm disorders. In some people with "permanent" atrial fibrillation, dronedarone increased the risk of stroke, hospitalization due to heart failure, and death. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk. Do not stop taking this medication without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. You should not use this medication if you are allergic to dronedarone, or if you have:
  • severe liver disease;


  • certain serious heart conditions, especially severe heart failure, "AV block" or sick sinus syndrome (unless you have a pacemaker);




  • a history of slow heart beats that have caused you to faint;




  • if you were hospitalized with severe heart failure within the past 30 days; or



  • if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.


There are many other medicines that can cause serious medical problems if you take them together with dronedarone. You may need to stop taking certain drugs while you are taking dronedarone. Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially:

  • heart rhythm medication;




  • an antibiotic or antifungal medication;




  • an antidepressant;




  • medicine to treat HIV or AIDS;




  • medicine to treat or prevent malaria;




  • medicine to treat a psychiatric disorder;




  • migraine headache medication;




  • narcotic pain medicine;




  • medicine to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting; or




  • medicine used to prevent organ transplant rejection.



To make sure you can safely take dronedarone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:



  • kidney disease;



  • liver disease;


  • a history of heart failure;




  • an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood); or




  • if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted in your chest.




FDA pregnancy category X. This medication can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not use dronedarone if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. Use effective birth control while you are using this medication. It is not known whether dronedarone passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while taking dronedarone.

How should I take dronedarone?


Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.


Dronedarone works best if you take it with your morning and evening meals.

Use dronedarone regularly even if you feel fine or have no symptoms. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.


To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your heart function will need to be checked every 3 months using an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG). An ECG measures electrical activity of the heart. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with dronedarone. Your liver and kidney function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly. Do not stop taking this medication without first talking to your doctor. Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture.

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

What should I avoid while taking dronedarone?


Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with dronedarone and lead to potentially dangerous effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit products with your doctor.

What is Babee Cof (dextromethorphan)?

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.


Dextromethorphan is used to treat a cough.


Dextromethorphan will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

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


What is the most important information I should know about Babee Cof (dextromethorphan)?


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 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 dextromethorphan if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take dextromethorphan before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, or allergy 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 dextromethorphan. Dextromethorphan will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Babee Cof (dextromethorphan)?


Do not use dextromethorphan if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take dextromethorphan before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist about using this medicine if you have emphysema or chronic bronchitis.


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.

Artificially-sweetened liquid forms of cough medicine may contain phenylalanine. This would be important to know if you have phenylketonuria (PKU). Check the ingredients and warnings on the medication label if you are concerned about phenylalanine.


How should I take Babee Cof (dextromethorphan)?


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 use it for longer than recommended. Cough medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicine in very young children.

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.


Allow the dextromethorphan lozenge or disintegrating strip to dissolve in your mouth.


Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.

If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken a cough medicine within the past few days.


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

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since cough 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.


What should I avoid while taking Babee Cof (dextromethorphan)?


Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase some of the side effects of dextromethorphan. 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 taking diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with cough medicine can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.


Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, or allergy medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Dextromethorphan is contained in many combination medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of this medicine. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains dextromethorphan.

Babee Cof (dextromethorphan) 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 dextromethorphan and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

  • severe dizziness, anxiety, restless feeling, or nervousness;




  • confusion, hallucinations; or




  • slow, shallow breathing.



Less serious side effects are more likely, such as stomach upset.


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.

brompheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine


Generic Name: brompheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine (brome fen IR a meen/dex troe meth OR fan/fen ill proe pa NOLE a meen)

Brand names: Delhistine DM, Dimetapp Cold and Cough Liquigel, Dimetapp DM, DM Cold and Cough, Histinex DM, Iohist DM, Liquihistine DM, Poly DM, Poly Histine DM, Prohistine DM, Trihist DM, Highland DM, Polytine DM, KG Hist DM, Uni Multihist DM, Durahistine DM


What is brompheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine?

Brompheniramine is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body. Brompheniramine prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.


Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It suppresses an area in the brain that causes coughing


Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces the blood flow, allowing nasal passages to open up.


Brompheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine is used to treat nasal congestion, sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), and coughs associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.


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.


Brompheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about brompheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine?


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.
