What is sumatriptan injection?

Sumatriptan is a headache medicine that narrows blood vessels around the brain. Sumatriptan also reduces substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.

Sumatriptan is used to treat migraine headaches and cluster headaches. Sumatriptan will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.

Sumatriptan should not be used to treat a common tension headache, a headache that causes loss of movement on one side of your body, or any headache that seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches. Use this medication only if your condition has been confirmed by a doctor as migraine headaches.

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

What is the most important information I should know about sumatriptan injection?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to sumatriptan, if you have any history of heart disease, or if you have coronary heart disease, angina, blood circulation problems, lack of blood supply to the heart, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver disease, ischemic bowel disease, a history of a heart attack or stroke, or if your headache seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches. Do not use sumatriptan within 24 hours before or after using another migraine headache medicine, including sumatriptan tablets or nasal spray, almotriptan (Axert), eletriptan (Relpax), frovatriptan (Frova), rizatriptan (Maxalt), naratriptan (Amerge), zolmitriptan (Zomig), or ergot medicine such as dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal), ergotamine (Ergomar, Cafergot, Migergot), dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal), or methylergonovine (Methergine). Do not use sumatriptan if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days.

Before using sumatriptan, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, seizures, high blood pressure, a heart rhythm disorder, or coronary heart disease (or risk factors such as diabetes, menopause, smoking, being overweight, having high cholesterol, having a family history of coronary artery disease, being older than 40 and a man, or being a woman who has had a hysterectomy).

Also tell your doctor if you are taking an antidepressant such as citalopram (Celexa), desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), duloxetine (Cymbalta), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), or venlafaxine (Effexor).

Sumatriptan will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.

After using a sumatriptan injection, you must wait one (1) hour before using a second injection. Do not use more than two injections in 24 hours.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before using sumatriptan injection?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to sumatriptan, or if you have:

coronary heart disease, angina (chest pain), blood circulation problems, lack of blood supply to the heart;

a history of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke, including "mini-stroke";

severe or uncontrolled high blood pressure;

severe liver disease;

a headache that seems different from your usual migraine headaches.

Do not use sumatriptan if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days.

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

liver disease;

kidney disease;

epilepsy or other seizure disorder;

high blood pressure, a heart rhythm disorder; or

coronary heart disease (or risk factors such as diabetes, menopause, smoking, being overweight, having high cholesterol, having a family history of coronary artery disease, being older than 40 and a man, or being a woman who has had a hysterectomy).

FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether sumatriptan will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.

Your name may need to be listed on a sumatriptan pregnancy registry when you start using this medication.

Sumatriptan can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not breast-feed within 12 hours after using a sumatriptan injection. If you use a breast pump during this time, throw out any milk you collect. Do not feed it to your baby. This medicine should not be given to anyone under 18 or over 65 years of age.

How should I use sumatriptan injection?

Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Overuse of migraine headache medicine can actually make your headaches worse.

Sumatriptan is injected under the skin. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes.

This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

Use sumatriptan as soon as you notice headache symptoms, or after an attack has already begun.

Your doctor may want to give your first dose of this medicine in a hospital or clinic setting to see if you have any serious side effects.

Sumatriptan injection comes in a vial (bottle), in a prefilled cartridge to be loaded into an auto-injector syringe (Imitrex Statdose), or in a needle-free injector device (Sumavel DosePro). Each vial, cartridge, or needle-free device is for one use only.

After using an injection: If your headache does not completely go away after the injection, call your doctor before using a second sumatriptan injection. If your headache goes away and then comes back, you may use a second injection if it has been at least one hour since your first injection. Do not use more than two (2) injections in 24 hours. If your symptoms do not improve, contact your doctor before using any more injections.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date on the label has passed.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since sumatriptan is used as needed, it does not have a daily dosing schedule. Call your doctor promptly if your symptoms do not improve after using sumatriptan.

After using a sumatriptan injection, you must wait one (1) hour before using a second injection. Do not use more than two (2) injections in 24 hours.

What happens if I overdose?

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

Overdose symptoms may include tremors or shaking, skin redness, breathing problems, blue-colored lips or fingernails, vision problems, watery eyes or mouth, weakness, lack of coordination, or seizure (convulsions).

Naltrexone because the effectiveness of Panlor DC will be decreased and withdrawal symptoms may occur if you are physically dependent on opioids. You must not take naltrexone until you have stopped taking Panlor DC for 7 to 10 days and after a naloxone challenge test is negative.

Quinidine because the effectiveness of Panlor DC may be decreased

Cimetidine, ethanol, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), isoniazid, medicine for mental or mood disorders (eg, olanzapine, haloperidol), medicine for anxiety (eg, diazepam), other narcotic pain medicine (eg, oxycodone), monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), or sodium oxybate (GHB) because side effects such as excessive drowsiness, disorientation, trouble breathing, or seizures may occur

Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because side effects such as bleeding may be increased by Panlor DC

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

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

Panlor DC may be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation. However, this may decrease its effectiveness.

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

When using for an extended period, Panlor DC may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if Panlor DC stops working well.

Panlor DC contains acetaminophen. Do not take additional acetaminophen for pain or fever without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about which medicines contain acetaminophen.

Panlor DC may cause constipation. To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. If you become constipated while taking Panlor DC, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. A stool softener or fiber laxative may be required.

If nausea occurs, consult your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives for decreasing nausea (eg, taking antihistamines, lying down for 1 to 2 hours with minimal head movement).

To minimize dizziness or lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.

Caution is advised when using Panlor DC in the ELDERLY because they may be more sensitive to the effects of the medicine, especially drowsiness and trouble breathing.

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

When used for long periods of time or at high doses, Panlor DC may not work as well and may require higher doses to obtain the same effect as when originally taken. This is known as TOLERANCE. Talk with your doctor if Panlor DC stops working well. Do not take more than prescribed.

Panlor DC may be habit-forming and lead to DEPENDENCE if used in high doses or for a long period of time. If you are on long-term or high dosage therapy, you may have WITHDRAWAL symptoms (eg, convulsions, tremor, stomach and muscle cramps, vomiting, sweating) if you suddenly stop taking Panlor DC. Do not stop therapy abruptly or change dosage without asking your pharmacist or doctor. Discuss overuse with your doctor or pharmacist.

What Tasmar Is And What It Is Used For

Tasmar is used together with levodopa/benserazide or levodopa/carbidopa when all other alternative medicines cannot stabilise your Parkinson’s disease.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a natural enzyme in your body that breaks down the levodopa medication used to treat your Parkinson’s disease. Tasmar blocks COMT and slows the breakdown of levodopa. This means when it is taken together with levodopa (as levodopa/benserazide or levodopa/carbidopa) you should have an improvement in your symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Before You Take Tasmar

Do not take Tasmar:

if you have liver disease or increased liver enzymes

if you have severe dyskinesia (involuntary movement)

if you have a previous history of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) Symptom Complex (severe symptoms of muscle stiffening, fever or mental confusion) and / or if you have non-traumatic Rhabdomyolysis (damage of skeletal muscle tissue) or Hyperthermia (fever).

if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to tolcapone or to any of the other ingredients of Tasmar.

if you have Phaeochromocytoma (a special type of tumor)

if you take non-selective mono amino oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (used to treat depression and anxiety)

Take special care with Tasmar:

you should not start taking Tasmar until your doctor has described the risks of treatment with Tasmar and measures necessary to minimise those risks, and answered any questions you may have. You should only receive Tasmar if your Parkinson’s disease is not adequately controlled by the use of other therapies. In addition, your doctor will stop Tasmar treatment if after 3 weeks you do not improve enough to justify the risks of continuing treatment.

Liver Injury:

Tasmar may cause rare but potentially fatal liver injury. Liver injury has occurred most often after 1 month and before 6 months. Injury occurring earlier or later is also possible.

It should also be noted that female patients may have a higher risk of liver injury.

Before beginning treatment: To reduce the risk of liver injury you should not use Tasmar if 1) you have liver disease or 2) blood tests done before starting treatment show any liver abnormality (tests of ALT, alanine amino transferase and AST, aspartate amino transferase).

While receiving treatment: Blood tests will be done every 2 weeks for the first year of therapy, every 4 weeks for the next 6 months and every 8 weeks thereafter and treatment will be stopped if they become abnormal.

the treatment with Tasmar may sometimes lead to disturbances in the way the liver works. Therefore, if you experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, pain in your stomach (particulary over the liver in the right upper area), loss of appetite, weakness, fever, darkening of urine, jaundice (yellow of the skin or eyes) or if you tire more easily, you should contact your doctor immediately.

if you have taken already Tasmar and developed acute liver injury while on Tasmar, it should not be re-introduced again.

NMS (Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome):

Symptoms of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome may occur during Tasmar treatment. NMS (Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome) consists of some or all of the following: severe muscle stiffness, jerking movements of muscles, arms or legs, and soreness of muscles. Muscle injury can sometimes cause dark urine. Other important symptoms are high fever and mental confusion. Very rarely, after abruptly reducing or stopping Tasmar or other antiparkinsonian drugs, you may experience severe symptoms of muscle stiffening, fever or mental confusion. If this happens notify your doctor.

Before beginning treatment: To reduce the risk of NMS you should not use Tasmar if your doctor says you have severe dyskinesia (involuntary movement) or a previous illness that may have been NMS. Inform your doctor of all prescription and non-prescription medications as the risk of NMS may be increased if you are taking medications that may alter the effects of the brain messenger molecules of dopamine and serotonin.

While receiving treatment: If you develop symptoms as described above, that you think may be NMS, you should report them to your doctor immediately. Do not stop Tasmar or any other Parkinson’s medications without telling your doctor as this may increase the risk of NMS.

if you have any illnesses other than Parkinson’s disease.

if you are allergic to other medicines, foods and dyes.

soon after beginning and during your treatment with Tasmar, you may have symptoms caused by levodopa such as dyskinesia (involuntary movement) and nausea. If you feel unwell, you should contact your doctor because you may need to take less levodopa.

Taking other medicines

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, even those not prescribed (non-prescription medicines and herbals).

Please inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking especially anti-depressants, alpha-methyldopa (used to treat increases blood pressure), apomorphine (used for Parkinson’s disease), dobutamine (used for the chronic heart disease), adrenaline and isoprenaline (both used for heart attacks).

When you are taking Tasmar with anticoagulants (that prevent blood clotting) of the warfarin type, your doctor may perform regular blood tests to monitor how easily the blood clots.

If you go to hospital or if you are prescribed a new medicine, you must tell your doctor that you are taking Tasmar.

Taking Tasmar with food and drink

Tasmar can be taken with or without food.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

You must tell your doctor if you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant. Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of taking Tasmar during pregnancy.

The effects of Tasmar have not been studied in infants. You should not breast-feed your infant during treatment with Tasmar.

Driving and using machines

Tasmar has an effect on your symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Since your ability to drive a car or operate machinery may be affected by Parkinson’s disease, you should discuss this with your doctor.

Tasmar used with your other Parkinson medicines can cause somnolence (excessive drowsiness) and sudden sleep onset episodes (you may suddenly fall asleep). Therefore you must refrain from driving or engaging in activities where impaired alertness may put yourself or others at risk of serious injury or death (e.g. operating machines) until such recurrent episodes and somnolence have resolved.

Important information about some of the ingrediensts of Tasmar

If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.

How To Take Tasmar

Always take Tasmar exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor if you are unsure. Do not break or crush tablets. Swallow Tasmar with water.

Dose and frequency of administration

When beginning and during treatment with Tasmar, your dose of levodopa may need to be changed. Your doctor will advise you what to do.

Your doctor should always begin your treatment with the standard dose (100 mg (1 tablet) three times a day). If benefits are not seen within 3 weeks of the initiation of the treatment, Tasmar should be discontinued. The dose should only be increased to the higher dose (200 mg three times a day) if the increase in how your Parkinson’s disease symptoms are controlled outweighs the expected increase in side effects. The side effects at the higher dose can often be severe and affect your liver. If you do not get better at the higher dose after a total of 3 weeks, your doctor should stop your treatment with Tasmar.

The first dose of Tasmar is taken with the first dose of the day of levodopa and the other doses of Tasmar are taken about 6 and 12 hours later. Take one tablet in the morning, one tablet in the middle of the day and one tablet in the evening.

If you take more Tasmar than you should

Contact a doctor, pharmacist or hospital immediately as you may need urgent medical attention.

If another person accidentally takes your medicine, contact a doctor or hospital immediately as he or she may need urgent medical attention.

Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness and breathing difficulties.

If you forget to take Tasmar

Take it as soon as you remember, then continue to take it at the usual times. If you have missed several doses, please inform your doctor and follow the advice given to you.

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten individual doses.

If you stop taking Tasmar

Do not reduce or stop taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to. Always follow the instructions of your doctor about the duration of the treatment with Tasmar.

Possible Side Effects

Like all medicines, Tasmar can have side effects, although not everybody gets them. Tell your doctor or a pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Tasmar

Disturbances in the way the liver works, sometimes severe hepatitis, have been observed. Therefore, if you experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weakness, fever, darkening of urine or jaundice you should contact your doctor immediately.

Loestrin 1/20

Pronunciation: nor-eth-IN-drone/ETH-in-il ess-tra-DYE-ole
Generic Name: Norethindrone/Ethinyl Estradiol
Brand Name: Examples include Loestrin 1/20 and Ovcon 35

Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious heart and blood vessel side effects from birth control pill use. This risk increases with age and with heavy smoking (15 or more cigarettes per day) and is quite significant in women older than 35 years of age. Women who use birth control pills are strongly advised not to smoke.

Loestrin 1/20 is used for:

Prevention of pregnancy. It may also be used to regulate the menstrual cycle. It does NOT protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Loestrin 1/20 is a combination of 2 female sex hormones, estrogen and progestin. Loestrin 1/20 works by preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs. When there is no egg to be fertilized, pregnancy cannot occur. It also thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus.

Do NOT use Loestrin 1/20 if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Loestrin 1/20

you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant

you have or have ever had abnormal growth or cancer of the breast, cervical or uterine cancer, or unexplained vaginal bleeding

you have or have ever had stoppage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain (stroke); blockage of blood vessels (blood clots) in the legs, lungs, heart (heart attack or angina/chest pain), or other parts of the body; heart valve problems; or severe high blood pressure

you have liver disease, liver tumors, or yellowing of the eyes or skin during pregnancy or during previous use of Loestrin 1/20 or a similar medicine

you are taking acitretin, aprepitant, barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), bosentan, carbamazepine, felbamate, griseofulvin, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), modafinil, nevirapine, penicillins (eg, amoxicillin), protease inhibitors (eg, indinavir), rifamycins (eg, rifampin), St. John's wort, tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline), topiramate, or troglitazone

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

Before using Loestrin 1/20:

Some medical conditions may interact with Loestrin 1/20. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are breast-feeding

if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

if you have allergies to medicines or other substances

if you smoke cigarettes or are 35 years of age or older

if you have breast nodules, disease of the breast, an abnormal breast x-ray or mammogram, or a strong family history of breast cancer

if you have vision problems, depression, diabetes, epilepsy (seizures), gallbladder or liver disease, heart problems, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or migraine headaches

if you have high cholesterol, triglycerides, or calcium in the blood; pancreas disease; obesity; or uterine fibroids or endometriosis

if you are going to have surgery or you will be on bed rest

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Loestrin 1/20. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Acitretin, aprepitant, azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), bosentan, carbamazepine, felbamate, griseofulvin, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), modafinil, nevirapine, penicillins (eg, amoxicillin), protease inhibitors (eg, indinavir), rifamycins (eg, rifampin), St. John's wort, tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline), topiramate, or troglitazone because they may decrease Loestrin 1/20's effectiveness. While on these medicines, you will need an alternative form of birth control (eg, condoms) until your next period after stopping these medicines.

Beta-blockers (eg, metoprolol), cyclosporine, theophyllines, or troleandomycin because the risk of their side effects or toxicity may be increased by Loestrin 1/20

Corticosteroids (eg, prednisone) because their side effects, including rounding of the face, weight gain, fluid retention, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, or skin changes, may be increased by Loestrin 1/20

Oral anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because their side effects, including risk of bleeding, may be increased by Loestrin 1/20; however, it is also possible that the effectiveness may also be decreased by Loestrin 1/20

Lamotrigine because its effectiveness may be decreased by Loestrin 1/20; stopping Loestrin 1/20 may lead to severe side effects

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Loestrin 1/20 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 Loestrin 1/20:

Use Loestrin 1/20 as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

An extra patient leaflet is available with Loestrin 1/20. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.

Take Loestrin 1/20 by mouth with food.

If you have trouble remembering to take Loestrin 1/20, talk to your doctor about how to make pill-taking easier or about using another method of birth control.

Always have another kind of birth control (eg, condoms) to use as a backup in case you miss pills. Also, always keep an extra, full pack of pills.

Decide what time of day you want to take your medicine. It is important that you take it at about the same time every day.

Do not skip pills even if you are spotting or bleeding between monthly periods or feel sick to your stomach (nausea).

Do not skip pills even if you do not have sex very often.

If you miss a dose of Loestrin 1/20, take it as soon as your remember. Take your next dose at the regular time. This means you may take 2 doses on the same day.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Loestrin 1/20.

Important safety information:

Loestrin 1/20 may increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, high blood pressure, or similar problems. The risk may be greater if you smoke.

There may be times when you may not have regular menstrual periods after you have taken a pack of Loestrin 1/20 for a cycle. If you have taken Loestrin 1/20 regularly and missed 1 period, keep taking Loestrin 1/20 for the next cycle but be sure to tell your doctor first.

Taking certain antibiotics or anticonvulsants while you are using Loestrin 1/20 may decrease the effectiveness of Loestrin 1/20. To prevent pregnancy, use an additional form of birth control (eg, condoms) until your next menstrual period.

If you wear contact lenses and you develop problems with them, contact your doctor.
