Desoximetasone Cream


Pronunciation: dess-OX-ee-MET-ah-sone
Generic Name: Desoximetasone
Brand Name: Examples include Topicort and Topicort LP


Desoximetasone Cream is used for:

Relieving inflammation and itching of the skin.


Desoximetasone Cream is a topical adrenocortical steroid. The precise way it works is unclear, but it is thought to reduce skin inflammation (redness, swelling, itching, and irritation) by stopping the production of certain chemicals in the body.


Do NOT use Desoximetasone Cream if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Desoximetasone Cream

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



Before using Desoximetasone Cream:

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a skin infection, measles, thinning of the skin, tuberculosis (TB), chicken pox, shingles, a positive TB skin test, or have recently had a vaccination

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Desoximetasone Cream. Because little, if any, of Desoximetasone Cream is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.


Ask your health care provider if Desoximetasone Cream 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 Desoximetasone Cream:


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

  • Do not cover the treated area(s) with bandages or other dressings unless advised to do so by your health care provider.

  • If you miss a dose of Desoximetasone Cream, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Desoximetasone Cream.



Important safety information:


  • Desoximetasone Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and other mucous membranes (nostrils, mouth). If Desoximetasone Cream gets in your eyes, flush them with cool tap water immediately.

  • Do NOT use more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.

  • Do not use Desoximetasone Cream for other skin conditions at a later time.

  • If Desoximetasone Cream was prescribed to treat the diaper area of a child, avoid using tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants.

  • Corticosteroids may affect growth rate in CHILDREN and teenagers in some cases. They may need regular growth checks while they use Desoximetasone Cream.

  • Desoximetasone Cream should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Desoximetasone Cream while you are pregnant. It is not known if Desoximetasone Cream is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Desoximetasone Cream, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.


Possible side effects of Desoximetasone Cream:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Mild, temporary stinging when first applied.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); itching, burning, redness, or swelling not present before using Desoximetasone Cream.



This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

Desquam-X Wash



benzoyl peroxide

Dosage Form: topical solution
WATER BASE

Desquam-X 5 Wash

(5% benzoyl peroxide)

WATER BASE

Desquam-X 10 Wash

(10% benzoyl peroxide)

Rx only

Desquam-X Wash Description


DESQUAM-X5 (5% benzoyl peroxide) and DESQUAM-X10 (10% benzoyl peroxide) brand topical therapeutic anti-acne cleansers contains benzoyl peroxide (5% and 10% respectively) in a lathering water base of sodium octoxynol- 3 sulfonate, dioctyl sodium sulfo-succinate, magnesium aluminum silicate, methylcellulose and EDTA.


Molecular structure




Desquam-X Wash - Clinical Pharmacology


The effectiveness of benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of acne vulgaris is primarily attributable to its antibacterial activity, especially with respect to Propionibacterium acnes, the predominant organism in sebaceous follicles and comedones.1,2 The antibacterial activity of this compound is presumably due to the release of active or free-radical oxygen capable of oxidizing bacterial proteins.3 In acne patients treated topically with benzoyl peroxide, resolution of the acne usually coincides with reduction in the levels of P. acnes and free fatty acids (FFA). Mild desquamation is another observed action of topically applied benzoyl peroxide and may also play a role in the drug’s effectiveness in acne.3 Studies also indicate that topical benzoyl peroxide may exert a se-bostatic effect with a resultant reduction of skin surface lipids.4,5


Benzoyl peroxide has been shown to be absorbed by the skin, where it is metabolized to benzoic acid and then excreted as benzoate in the urine.6



Indications and Usage for Desquam-X Wash


DESQUAM-X 5 and DESQUAM-X 10 Wash are indicated for the topical treatment of mild to moderate acne. In more severe cases, it may be used as an adjunct in therapeutic regimens including benzoyl peroxide gels, antibiotics, retinoic acid products and sulfur/salicylic acid-containing preparations. The improvement of the treated condition is dependent on the degree and type of acne, the frequency of use of Desquam-X Wash and the nature of other therapies employed.



Contraindications


This product should not be used in patients known to be sensitive to benzoyl peroxide or any other of the listed ingredients.



Precautions



General:


Avoid contact with eyes and other mucous membranes. For external use only. In patients known to be sensitive to the following substances, there is a possibility of cross-sensitization: benzoic acid derivatives (including certain topical anesthetics) and cinnamon.



Information for Patients:


This product may bleach colored fabric or hair. Concurent use with PABA-containing sunscreens may result in transient discoloration of the skin.



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:


Based upon considerable evidence, benzoyl peroxide is not considered to be a carcinogen. However, in one study, using mice known to be highly susceptible to cancer, there was evidence for benzoyl peroxide as a tumor promoter. Benzoyl peroxide has been found to be inactive as a mutagen in the Ames Salmonella and other assays, including the mouse dominant lethal assay. This assay is frequently used to assess the effect of substances on spermatogenesis.



Pregnancy (Category C):


Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with benzoyl peroxide (Desquam-X Wash). It is also not known whether benzoyl peroxide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Benzoyl peroxide should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.



Nursing Mothers:


It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when benzoyl peroxide is administered to a nursing woman.



Pediatric Use:


Safety and effectiveness in children below the age of 12 have not been established.



Adverse Reactions


Adverse reactions which may be encountered with topical benzoyl peroxide include excessive drying (manifested by marked peeling, erythema and possible edema), and allergic contact sensitization.


Excessive dryness would appear to occur in approximately 2 patients in 50.


Pertinent literature would seem to indicate that allergic sensitization to benzoyl peroxide may occur in 10 to 25 patients in 1,000.7,8,9 There is one reference that reports an occurrence of sensitization in 5 of 100 patients.10



Overdosage


In the event that excessive scaling, erythema or edema occur, the use of this preparation should be discontinued. If the reaction is judged to be due to excessive use and not allergenicity, after symptoms and signs subside, a reduced dosage schedule may be cautiously tried.


To hasten resolution of the adverse effects, emollients, cool compresses and/or topical corticosteroid preparations may be used.



Desquam-X Wash Dosage and Administration


Shake well before use. Wash affected areas once or twice daily, avoiding contact with eyes or mucous membranes. Wet skin areas to be treated prior to administration; apply Desquam-X Wash, work to a full lather, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. The amount of drying or peeling may be controlled by modification of dose frequency or drug concentration.

RenAmin - Clinical Pharmacology


RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection provides biologically utilizable source material for protein synthesis when used with appropriate calorie sources (such as hypertonic dextrose or fat emulsion), electrolytes, vitamins and minerals.


As a concentrated source of essential amino acids, RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection provides maximal protein intake with low volume administration. The essential amino acids are included as approximately 60% w/w of total amino acids. Each 250 mL unit of this injection meets or exceeds the recommended daily intake of essential amino acids. Nonessential amino acids have been included to meet requirements established in investigations of acute and chronic renal failure patients fed parenterally. The 40% w/w of nonessential amino acids includes histidine (considered an essential amino acid in renal failure), arginine, and other nonessential amino acids as additional sources of nitrogen that have been shown to enhance nitrogen balance and weight gain.



Indications and Usage for RenAmin


RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection is indicated as an adjunct in the offsetting of nitrogen loss or in the treatment of negative nitrogen balance in potentially reversible renal decompensation when the alimentary tract cannot or should not be used; gastrointestinal absorption of protein is impaired; or metabolic requirements for protein are substantially increased, as with extensive burns.



Contraindications


Severe uncorrected electrolyte and acid base imbalance


Severe liver disease or hepatic coma


Hyperammonemia


Hypersensitivity to one or more amino acids


Decreased circulating blood volume



Warnings


This injection is for compounding only, not for direct infusion.


Proper administration of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection requires a knowledge of fluid and electrolyte balance and nutrition as well as clinical expertise in recognition and treatment of the complications which may occur.


Administration of amino acid solutions to a patient with hepatic insufficiency may result in serum amino acid imbalances, hyperammonemia, stupor and coma.


Hyperammonemia is of special significance in infants. This reaction appears to be related to a deficiency of the urea cycle amino acids of genetic or product origin. It is essential that blood ammonia be measured frequently in infants.


This injection has no added electrolytes. Clinically significant hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia or hypomagnesemia may occur. Electrolyte replacement may become necessary.


Contains sodium bisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.


This injection should not be administered simultaneously with blood through the same infusion set because of the possibility of pseudoagglutination.


RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection does not replace dialysis and conventional supportive therapy in patients with renal failure.


WARNING: This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.


Research indicatesthat patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 μg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.



Precautions


It is essential to provide adequate calories concurrently if parenterally administered amino acids are to be retained by the body and utilized for protein synthesis. Concentrated dextrose solutions are an effective source of such calories.


With the administration of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection in combination with highly concentrated dextrose solutions, hyperglycemia, glycosuria and hyperosmolar syndrome may result. Blood and urine glucose should be monitored on a routine basis in patients receiving this therapy.


Sudden cessation in administration of a concentrated dextrose solution may result in insulin reaction due to continued endogenous insulin production. Parenteral nutrition mixtures should be withdrawn slowly.


Electrolytes may be added to RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection as dictated by the patient's electrolyte profile.


Strongly hypertonic nutrient solutions should be administered through an indwelling intravenous catheter with the tip located in the superior vena cava.


Care should be taken to avoid excess fluid accumulation, particularly in patients with renal disease, pulmonary insufficiency and heart disease.


During amino acid administration in the absence of supporting carbohydrate metabolism, an accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood often occurs. Correction of ketonemia usually can be accomplished by administering some carbohydrates.


Drug product contains no more than 25 μg/L of aluminum.



Laboratory Tests


Frequent clinical evaluation and laboratory determinations are necessary for proper monitoring during administration.


Studies should include blood urea nitrogen, blood sugar, serum proteins, kidney and liver function tests, electrolytes, acid-base balance, hemogram, carbon dioxide combining power or content, serum osmolarities, blood cultures and blood ammonia levels. Circulating blood volume should be determined, if indicated.



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:


Studies with RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenesis potential, mutagenic potential, or effects on fertility.



Pregnancy:


Teratogenic Effects

Pregnancy Category C.


Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection. It is also not known whether RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.



Nursing Mothers:


It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, and because of the potential for adverse reactions, e.g., hyperammonemia in nursing infants, caution should be exercised when RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection is administered to a nursing mother.



Pediatric Use:


Safety and effectiveness of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection have not been established by adequate and well-controlled studies in pediatric patients.



Geriatric Use:


Clinical studies of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from other younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or drug therapy.



SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS


Administration of amino acid solutions and other nutrients via central or peripheral venous catheter may be associated with complications which can be prevented or minimized by careful attention to all aspects of the procedure. This includes attention to solution preparation, administration and patient monitoring. It is essential that a carefully prepared protocol, based on current medical practices, be followed, preferably by an experienced team.


Although a detailed discussion of the complications is beyond the scope of this insert, the following summary lists those based on current literature:



Technical:


The placement of a central venous catheter should be regarded as a surgical procedure. The physician should be fully acquainted with various techniques of catheter insertion as well as recognition and treatment of complications. For details of techniques and placement sites consult the medical literature. X-ray is the best means of verifying catheter placement. Complications known to occur from the placement of central venous catheters are pneumothorax, hemothorax, hydrothorax, artery puncture and transection, injury to the brachial plexus, malposition of the catheter, formulation of arteriovenous fistula, phlebitis, thrombosis, cardiac arrhythmia and catheter embolus.



Septic:


The constant risk of sepsis is present during administration of parenteral nutrition solution. Since contaminated solutions and infusion catheters are potential sources of infection, it is imperative that the preparation of the solution and the placement and care of catheters be accomplished under controlled aseptic conditions. If fever develops, the solution, its delivery system and the site of the indwelling catheter should be changed.



Metabolic:


The following metabolic complications have been reported: metabolic acidosis, hypophosphatemia, alkalosis, hyperglycemia and glycosuria, osmotic diuresis and dehydration, rebound hypoglycemia, elevated liver enzymes, hypo- and hypervitaminosis, electrolyte imbalances and hyperammonemia. Frequent clinical evaluation and laboratory determinations are necessary, especially during the first few days of therapy, to prevent or minimize these complications.



Special Precautions in Patients with Renal Insufficiency


Frequent laboratory studies are necessary in patients with renal insufficiency. In renal failure, hyperglycemia may not be reflected by glycosuria. Blood glucose must be determined frequently, often every six hours to guide dosage of dextrose, and insulin should be given, if required.



Special Precautions in Pediatric Patients


RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection should be used with special caution in pediatric patients with acute renal failure, especially low birth weight infants. Laboratory and clinical monitoring of pediatric patients, especially those who are nutritionally depleted, must be extensive and frequent. See Children section under DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION for additional information. Frequent monitoring of blood glucose is required in low birth weight or septic infants, as hypertonic dextrose infusion involves a greater risk of hyperglycemia in such patients.



Adverse Reactions


See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS


Adverse effects include metabolic, electrolyte, acid-base and fluid imbalances unless special care with monitoring and corrective management is maintained during RenAmin® (Amino Acid) injection administration.


Infusion of any hypertonic solution can result in local inflammatory reactions. Policies and procedures should be established for the recognition and management of such reactions.



RenAmin Dosage and Administration


If a patient is unable to take oral nourishment for a prolonged period of time, institution of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with exogenous calories should be considered.


Fat emulsion coadministration should be considered when prolonged (more than 5 days) parenteral nutrition is required in order to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD). Serum lipids should be monitored for evidence of EFAD in patients maintained on fat free TPN.



Adult:


The total daily dose of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection depends on the patient's metabolic requirement and clinical response. The determination of nitrogen balance and accurate daily body weights, corrected for fluid balance, are probably the best means of assessing individual nitrogen requirements.


Nutritional management of renal decompensation includes providing sufficient amino acid and caloric support for protein synthesis while not exceeding renal capacity for excretion of metabolic wastes. A dosage of 2.5 to 5.0 grams of nitrogen per day with adequate calories will maintain nitrogen equilibrium in most patients with uremia. If more nitrogen and calories are required, higher dosages may be administered, provided great care is taken to avoid exceeding limits of fluid intake or glucose tolerance.


Dosage should be guided by fluid, glucose and nitrogen tolerances, as well as metabolic and clinical responses. The rate of increase in blood urea nitrogen concentration generally diminishes when infusion of amino acids is accompanied by adequate calories. However, excessive intake of protein or increased protein catabolism may alter this response.


The usual daily dose ranges from 250 to 500 mL of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection equivalent to 2.5 to 5.0 grams of nitrogen in 16.2 to 32.5 grams of amino acids.


Adequate calories should be administered simultaneously.


Patients receiving RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection should be monitored carefully and their electrolyte requirements individualized. Electrolyte supplementation may be required. This injection contains approximately 60 mEq acetate and 31 mEq chloride.


Electrolyte (phosphorous, potassium and magnesium) concentrations usually fall during administration of RenAmin® (Amino Acid) Injection. Particular care should be taken in the presence of cardiac arrhythmias or digitalis toxicity to assure that these electrolytes are supplemented when necessary.



Children:


Pediatric requirements vary depending upon growth, nutritional state and degree of renal insufficiency. A dosage of 0.5 to 1.0 gram of amino acids per kilogram body weight per day will meet the requirements of the majority of pediatric patients. Initial daily dosage should be low and increased slowly. More than one gram of essential amino acids per kilogram of body weight per day is not recommended. The total volume of nutritional solution, and the rate at which it is administered, will vary with the child’s age, nutritional and growth state, as well as the degree of renal failure. See Special Precautions in Pediatric Patients for additional information.


Maintenance vitamins, additional electrolytes and trace elements should be administered as required.



Central Vein Administration:


Hypertonic mixtures of amino acids and dextrose may be administered safely by continuous infusion through a central vein catheter with the tip located in the vena cava. In addition to meeting nitrogen needs, the administration rate is governed, especially during the first few days of therapy, by the patient's tolerance to dextrose. Daily intake of amino acids and dextrose should be increased gradually to the maximum required dose as indicated by frequent determinations of urine and blood sugar levels.


Uremic patients frequently are glucose intolerant. Provision of adequate calories in the form of hypertonic dextrose may require the administration of exogenous insulin to prevent hyperglycemia and glycosuria.


Parenteral nutrition may be started at lower administration rates and with infusates containing lower concentrations of dextrose; dextrose content and rate may be gradually increased to estimated caloric needs as the patient’s glucose tolerance increases. The patient’s fluid, nitrogen and glucose tolerance should be the determining factor of the rate of administration.


Sudden cessation in administration of concentrated dextrose solutions may result in insulin reactions due to continued endogenous insulin production. Such solutions should be withdrawn slowly.



Peripheral Vein Administration:


For patients requiring parenteral nutrition in whom the central vein route is not indicated, this injection can be mixed with low concentration dextrose solutions and administered by peripheral vein with fat emulsions.


Intravenous fat emulsions provide approximately 1.1 kcal/mL (10%) or 2.0 kcal/mL (20%) and may be administered along with amino acid-dextrose solutions through a short Y-connector near the infusion site to supplement caloric intake. Fat, however, should not be the sole caloric intake since studies have indicated that glucose is more nitrogen sparing in the stressed patient.


Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. Use of a final filter is recommended during administration of all parenteral solutions where possible.


Do not use unless solution is clear and vacuum is present. Unit must be used with a vented set or a nonvented set with a vented spike adapter.
