In the U.S.

• Se Aspartate


• Selepen

Available Dosage Forms:

• Tablet


• Capsule


• Tablet, Extended Release

Uses For selenium supplement

Selenium supplements are used to prevent or treat selenium deficiency.

The body needs selenium for normal growth and health. Selenium is needed for certain enzymes that help with normal body functions.

Although selenium is being used to prevent certain types of cancer, there is not enough information to show that this is effective.

Importance of Diet

For good health, it is important that you eat a balanced and varied diet. Follow carefully any diet program your health care professional may recommend. For your specific dietary vitamin and/or mineral needs, ask your health care professional for a list of appropriate foods. If you think that you are not getting enough vitamins and/or minerals in your diet, you may choose to take a dietary supplement.

Selenium is found in seafood, liver, lean red meat, and grains grown in soil that is rich in selenium.

The daily amount of selenium needed is defined in several different ways.

For U.S.—

• Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are the amount of vitamins and minerals needed to provide for adequate nutrition in most healthy persons. RDAs for a given nutrient may vary depending on a person's age, sex, and physical condition (e.g., pregnancy).


• Daily Values (DVs) are used on food and dietary supplement labels to indicate the percent of the recommended daily amount of each nutrient that a serving provides. DV replaces the previous designation of United States Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDAs)

For Canada—

• Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) are used to determine the amounts of vitamins, minerals, and protein needed to provide adequate nutrition and lessen the risk of chronic disease.

Normal daily recommended intakes for selenium are generally defined as follows:

• Birth to 3 years of age: 10 to 20 micrograms (mcg) per day.


• 4 to 6 years of age: 20 mcg per day.


• 7 to 10 years of age: 30 mcg per day.


• Adolescent and adult males—40 to 70 mcg per day.


• Adolescent and adult females—45 to 55 mcg per day.


• Pregnant females—65 mcg per day.


• Breast-feeding females—75 mcg per day.

Before Using selenium supplement

Allergies

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to medicines in this group 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

Problems in children have not been reported with intake of normal daily recommended amounts.

Geriatric

Problems in older adults have not been reported with intake of normal daily recommended amounts.

Pregnancy

It is especially important that you are receiving enough vitamins and minerals when you become pregnant and that you continue to receive the right amount of vitamins and minerals throughout your pregnancy. The healthy growth and development of the fetus depend on a steady supply of nutrients from the mother. However, taking large amounts of a dietary supplement in pregnancy may be harmful to the mother and/or fetus and should be avoided.

Studies in animals have shown that selenium causes birth defects when given in large doses.

Breast Feeding

It is important that you receive the right amounts of vitamins and minerals so that your baby will also get the vitamins and minerals needed to grow properly. However, taking large amounts of a dietary supplement while breast-feeding may be harmful to the mother and/or baby and should be avoided.

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 taking any of these medicines, 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 medicines in this class 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.

• Eltrombopag

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 medicines in this class. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Kidney problems or

Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine)

Generic Name: acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine (a seet a MIN oh fen, klor fen IR a meen, soo doe e FED rin)

Brand Names: Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Liquigel, Allerest Headache Strength, Allerest Sinus, Cold Medicine Plus, Comtrex Allergy Sinus, Comtrex Allergy Sinus Maximum Strength, Comtrex Allergy Sinus Night and Day, Kolephrin, Sinarest, Sinutab Ex-Strength, Theraflu Cold & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine), Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine), Theraflu Maximum Strength

What is Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine) (acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

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

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

The combination of acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat headache, fever, body aches, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine) (acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine)?

Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Do not take this medication without a doctor's advice if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You should not use this medicine if you have severe constipation, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or if you are unable to urinate. Do not use this medicine if you have untreated or uncontrolled diseases such as glaucoma, asthma or COPD, high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or overactive thyroid. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen and can increase certain side effects of chlorpheniramine. Do not use this medicine 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. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine) (acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine)?

You should not use this medicine if you have severe constipation, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or if you are unable to urinate. Do not take this medication without a doctor's advice if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen. Do not use this medicine if you have untreated or uncontrolled diseases such as glaucoma, asthma or COPD, high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or overactive thyroid. Do not use this medicine 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. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:

• 
  

  liver disease, cirrhosis, or a history of alcoholism;

  
  


• 
  

  a blockage in your digestive tract (stomach or intestines);

  
  


•

It is not known whether acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine will harm an unborn baby. Do not use this medicine without your doctor's advice if you are pregnant. This medication may pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Antihistamines and decongestants may also slow breast milk production. Do not use this medicine without your doctor's advice if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine) (acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine)?

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. This medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.

Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.

Dissolve one packet of the powder in at least 4 ounces of water. Stir this mixture and drink all of it right away.

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 take for longer than 7 days in a row. Stop taking the medicine and call your doctor if you still have a fever after 3 days of use, you still have pain after 7 days (or 5 days if treating a child), if your symptoms get worse, or if you have a skin rash, ongoing headache, or any redness or swelling.

If you need surgery or medical tests, tell the surgeon or doctor ahead of time if you have taken this medicine within the past few days. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow liquid medicine to freeze.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since this medicine is taken when 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. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1 800 222 1222. An overdose of acetaminophen can be fatal.

The first signs of an acetaminophen overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.

Overdose symptoms may also include severe forms of some of the side effects listed in this medication guide.

What should I avoid while taking Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine) (acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine)?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen, and can increase certain side effects of chlorpheniramine. This medicine may cause blurred vision or impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert and able to see clearly.

Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine) (acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine) side effects

Sulfatol C Cream

sulfacetamide sodium and sulfur

Dosage Form: cream
Sulfatol C™ Cream

Rx Only

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sulfatol C™ Cream (sulfacetamide sodium 10% and sulfur 5%) is available by prescription only and contains the following active ingredients: Sulfacetamide Sodium 10% and Sulfur 5%.

Chemically, sulfacetamide sodium is Acetamide, N-[(4-aminophenyl) sulfonyl], monosodium salt, monohydrate. The structural formula is:

INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Benzyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Cocoglycerides, Dimethicone, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance, Glyceryl and PEG-100 Stearate, Isopropyl Myristate, Light Mineral Oil, Polysorbate 60, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Thiosulfate, Sorbitan Monostearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Urea, Purified Water, Xanthan Gum, Zinc Ricinoleate.

Sulfatol C Cream - Clinical Pharmacology

The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides is the Woods-Fildes theory, which is based on the fact that sulfonamides act as competitive antagonists to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an essential component for bacterial growth. While absorption through intact skin has not been determined, sulfacetamide sodium is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and excreted in the urine, largely unchanged. The biological half-life has variously been reported as 7 to 12.8 hours. The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is unknown, but it has been reported that it inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and the formation of free fatty acids.

INDICATIONS

Sulfatol C™ Cream (sulfacetamide sodium 10% and sulfur 5%) is indicated for the topical control of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis.

Contraindications

Sulfatol C™ Cream is contraindicated for use by patients having known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, sulfur or any other component of this preparation. Sulfatol C™ Cream is not to be used by patients with kidney disease.

FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from eyes. Keep tube tightly closed.

Warnings

Although rare, sensitivity to sulfacetamide sodium may occur. Therefore, caution and careful supervision should be observed when prescribing this drug for patients who may be prone to hypersensitivity to topical sulfonamides. Systemic toxic reactions such as agranulocytosis, acute hemolytic anemia, purpura hemorrhagica, drug fever, jaundice, and contact dermatitis indicate hypersensitivity to sulfonamides. Particular caution should be employed if areas of denuded or abraded skin are involved.

Precautions

General

If irritation develops, use of the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Patients should be carefully observed for possible local irritation or sensitization during long-term therapy. The object of this therapy is to achieve desquamation without irritation, but sulfacetamide sodium and sulfur can cause reddening and scaling of the epidermis. These side effects are not unusual in the treatment of acne vulgaris but patients should be cautioned about the possibility.

Information for Patients

Sulfatol C™ Cream is intended for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, other mucous membranes (e.g., inside the nose), and any damaged areas of the skin, such as wounds or open sores. If accidental contact with one of these areas occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility

Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential.

Pregnancy

Category C

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sulfatol C™ Cream. It also is not known whether Sulfatol C™ Cream can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Sulfatol C™ Cream should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether sulfacetamide sodium is excreted in human milk following topical use of Sulfatol C™ Cream. However, small amounts of orally administered sulfonamides have been reported to be eliminated in human milk. In view of this and because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Sulfatol C™ Cream is administered to a nursing woman.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in children under 12 years of age has not been established.

Possible Side Effects

Like any medication, Sulfatol C™ Cream may occasionally cause side effects in some people. Although uncommon, some possible side effects may include skin irritation such as redness, dryness, itching or swelling. If you experience excessive skin irritation, contact your physician.

Directions For Use

Apply Sulfatol C™ Cream to affected area(s) 1-3 times daily, or as directed by your physician.

1)

Cleanse your skin thoroughly before application.

2)

Apply a thin layer of Sulfatol C™ Cream to the affected area(s) as directed by your physician

3)

Start by using Sulfatol C™ Cream once daily to minimize dryness.

Then, increase application frequency to 2-3 times daily or as directed by your physician.

Triotann-S Pediatric

Generic Name: chlorpheniramine, pyrilamine, and phenylephrine (KLOR fe NEER a meen, pir IL a meen, FEN il EFF rin)

Brand Names: AllerTan, Chlorex-A 12, Conal, MyHist-PD, Nalex A 12, Phena-Plus, Phena-S, Poly Hist PD, R-Tannate, Ru-Hist Forte, Tri-Hist Pediatric, Triotann-S Pediatric, Triple Tannate Pediatric, Triplex AD

What is chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, and pyrilamine?

Chlorpheniramine and pyrilamine are antihistamines that reduce the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

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

The combination of chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, and pyrilamine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, and pyrilamine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, and pyrilamine?

Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow the pill whole. Breaking or crushing the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
