Re-Drylex


Generic Name: dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine (DEX klor fen IR a meen, METH skoe POL a meen, FEN il EFF rin)

Brand Names: DexPhen M, Extendryl, Re-Drylex


What is Re-Drylex (dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine)?

Dexchlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.


Methscopolamine is an anticholinergic (an-tye-kol-in-URJ-ik) that has a drying effect on the nasal passages.


Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine is used to treat runny nose, sneezing, itchy throat, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies or the common cold.


This medication is also used to treat skin rash, hives, or swelling caused by an allergic reaction.


Dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Re-Drylex (dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine)?


Do not take this medication 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 a cold or allergy medicine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. You should not take this medication if you are allergic to dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, or phenylephrine, or if you have glaucoma, heart disease, high blood pressure, or a thyroid disorder.

Before you take dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine, tell your doctor if you have a blockage in your stomach or intestines, kidney disease, diabetes, an enlarged prostate, problems with urination, or if you are over 40 years old.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 6 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 any other over-the-counter cold or allergy medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of a certain drug. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains dexchlorpheniramine or phenylephrine.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before taking Re-Drylex (dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine)?


Do not take this medication 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 a cold or allergy medicine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. You should not take this medication if you are allergic to dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, or phenylephrine, or if you have:

  • glaucoma;




  • heart disease;




  • high blood pressure; or




  • a thyroid disorder.



If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before you take this medication, tell your doctor if you have:



  • a blockage in your stomach or intestines;



  • kidney disease;


  • diabetes;




  • an enlarged prostate;




  • problems with urination; or




  • if you are over 40 years old;




FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not give this medication to a child younger than 6 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. Older adults may be more likely to have side effects from this medicine.

How should I take Re-Drylex (dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine)?


Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Cold medicine is usually taken for only a short time until your symptoms clear up.


Measure liquid 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.


Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after a few days of treatment, or if you also have a fever with headache, cough, or skin rash.

This medication can cause you to have unusual results with allergy skin tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking an antihistamine.


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

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since cold or allergy 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 nausea, vomiting, extreme drowsiness, confusion, weak or shallow breathing, and seizure (convulsions).


What should I avoid while taking Re-Drylex (dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine)?


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 a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.


Do not use any other over-the-counter cold, cough, or allergy medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Dexchlorpheniramine and phenylephrine are contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of a certain drug. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains dexchlorpheniramine or phenylephrine. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can add to drowsiness caused by an antihistamine.

Re-Drylex (dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine) side effects

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

This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and phenylephrine.

Uses For raloxifene


Raloxifene is used to help prevent and treat thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) only in postmenopausal women.


It works like an estrogen to stop the bone loss that can develop in women after menopause, but it does not increase the bone density as much as daily 0.625 mg doses of conjugated estrogens. Raloxifene will not treat hot flashes of menopause and may cause hot flashes to occur. Also, raloxifene does not stimulate the breast or uterus as estrogen does.


Raloxifene lowers the blood concentrations of total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the bad cholesterols, but it does not increase concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the good cholesterol, in your blood.


Raloxifene is also used to lower chances of having invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or at high risk of having invasive breast cancer .


raloxifene is available only with your doctor's prescription.


Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, raloxifene is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:


  • Breast cancer prevention in high-risk women who have already gone through menopause .

Before Using raloxifene


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 raloxifene, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to raloxifene 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.


Geriatric


raloxifene has been tested only in women past menopause and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in elderly people than it does in adults who have just gone through menopause.


Pregnancy








Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
All TrimestersXStudies in animals or pregnant women have demonstrated positive evidence of fetal abnormalities. This drug should not be used in women who are or may become pregnant because the risk clearly outweighs any possible benefit.

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


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. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


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. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.


Other Medical Problems


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


  • Blood clot formation, active or history of, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and retinal embolism—Raloxifene may slightly increase the chances of these conditions and, if they are already present, cause them to worsen. raloxifene should not be used in patients with these conditions .

  • Cancer or tumors or

  • Congestive heart failure or

  • Heart rhythm problems (e.g., atrial fibrillation) or

  • High blood pressure or

  • Stroke, history of or

  • Transient ischemic attack (TIA), history of or

  • Any other condition that increases the risk of blood clots—Taking raloxifene while having one of these conditions may worsen the chance that blood clots can form .

  • Kidney disease or

  • Liver disease—These conditions may cause higher concentrations of raloxifene in the blood .

Proper Use of raloxifene


A paper with information for the patient will be given to you with your filled prescription, and will provide many details concerning the use of raloxifene. Read this paper carefully and ask your health care professional if you need additional information or explanation.


Many patients trying to prevent or treat bone loss will not notice any signs of the problem. In fact, many may feel normal. It is very important that you take your medicine exactly as directed.


Dosing


The dose of raloxifene will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of raloxifene. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.


The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.


  • For oral dosage form (tablets):
    • For preventing bone loss:
      • Adults—60 mg once a day, with or without meals.


    • For treating bone loss:
      • Adults—60 mg once a day, with or without meals.


    • For preventing invasive breast cancer:
      • Adults—60 mg once a day, with or without meals .



Missed Dose


If you miss a dose of raloxifene, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.


Storage


Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.


Keep out of the reach of children.


Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.


Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.


Precautions While Using raloxifene


It is very important that you keep your appointments with your doctor even if you feel well.


Before you have any kind of surgery, tell the medical doctor in charge that you are using raloxifene. Discuss discontinuing use of raloxifene 3 days before you think you will have a long period of inactivity, sitting, or bed rest, such as after having surgery or going on a long trip. The doctor may have you start the medicine again after you are back on your feet and fully mobile. If you are going on a trip and stay on raloxifene, you should walk regularly or move about when possible. Remaining still for long periods may cause blood clots for some people, and raloxifene may rarely worsen their condition.


If you are able to become pregnant, stop using the medicine immediately if you think you have become pregnant and check with your doctor. Raloxifene is recommended for women who are past menopause.


Raloxifene does not act like an estrogen to stimulate the uterus or breast. If you experience vaginal bleeding, breast pain or enlargement, or swelling of hands or feet while on raloxifene, you should report it to your doctor.


Other ways that may be used with raloxifene to help prevent or treat bone loss are taking calcium plus vitamin D supplements and getting weight-bearing exercise. You may want to discuss these options with your doctor.
