Dianeal PD-1





Dosage Form: injection, solution

Dianeal PD-1 Description


Dianeal PD-1 peritoneal dialysis solutions in AMBU-FLEX III containers with a flanged port are sterile, nonpyrogenic solutions for intraperitoneal administration only. They contain no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents or added buffers.


Composition, calculated osmolarity, pH and ionic concentrations are shown in Table 1.


Potassium is omitted from DIANEAL solutions because dialysis may be performed to correct hyperkalemia. In situations in which there is a normal serum potassium level or hypokalemia, the addition of potassium chloride (up to a concentration of 4 mEq/L) may be indicated to prevent severe hypokalemia. Addition of potassium chloride should be made after careful evaluation of serum and total body potassium and only under the direction of a physician. Frequent monitoring of serum electrolytes is indicated.


The osmolarities shown in Table 1 are calculated values. As an example, measured osmolarity by freezing point depression determination of Dianeal PD-1 peritoneal dialysis solution with 1.5% dextrose is approximately 334 mOsmol/L, compared with measured values in normal human serum of 280 mOsmol/L.


The plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 146 Plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly.


Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million; however, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.



Dianeal PD-1 - Clinical Pharmacology


Peritoneal dialysis is a procedure for removing toxic substances and metabolites normally excreted by the kidneys, and for aiding in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance.


The procedure is accomplished by instilling peritoneal dialysis fluid through a conduit into the peritoneal cavity. With the exception of lactate, present as a bicarbonate precursor, electrolyte concentrations in the fluid have been formulated to attempt to normalize plasma electrolyte concentrations resulting from osmosis and diffusion across the peritoneal membrane (between the plasma of the patient and the dialysis fluid). Toxic substances and metabolites, present in high concentrations in the blood, cross the peritoneal membrane into the dialyzing fluid. Dextrose in the dialyzing fluid is used to produce a solution hyperosmolar to the plasma, creating an osmotic gradient which facilitates fluid removal from the patient’s plasma into the peritoneal cavity. After a period of time (dwell time), the fluid is drained by gravity from the cavity.



Indications and Usage for Dianeal PD-1


Peritoneal dialysis is indicated for patients in acute or chronic renal failure when nondialytic medical therapy is judged to be inadequate (Vaamonde and Perez 1977). It may also be indicated in the treatment of certain fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and for patients intoxicated with certain poisons and drugs (Knepshield et al. 1977). However, for many substances other methods of detoxification have been reported to be more effective than peritoneal dialysis (Vaamonde and Perez 1977; Chang 1977).



Contraindications


None known.



Warnings


Peritoneal dialysis should be done with great care, if at all, in patients with a number of abdominal conditions including disruption of the peritoneal membrane or diaphragm by surgery or trauma, extensive adhesions, bowel distention, undiagnosed abdominal disease, abdominal wall infection, hernias or burns, fecal fistula or colostomy, tense ascites, obesity, and large polycystic kidneys (Vaamonde and Perez 1977). Other conditions include recent aortic graft replacement and severe pulmonary disease. When assessing peritoneal dialysis as the mode of therapy in such extreme situations, the benefits to the patient must be weighed against the possible complications.


An accurate fluid balance record must be kept and the weight of the patient carefully monitored to avoid over or under hydration with severe consequences including congestive heart failure, volume depletion, and shock.


Excessive use of Dianeal PD-1 peritoneal dialysis solution with 3.5% or 4.25% dextrose during a peritoneal dialysis treatment can result in significant removal of water from the patient.


In acute renal failure patients, plasma electrolyte concentrations should be monitored periodically during the procedure. Stable patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis should have routine periodic evaluation of blood chemistries and hematologic factors, as well as other indicators of patient status.


Not for use in the treatment of lactic acidosis.


Potassium is omitted from Dianeal PD-1 solutions because dialysis may be performed to correct hyperkalemia. Addition of potassium chloride should be made after careful evaluation of serum and total body potassium and only under the direction of a physician.


The use of 5 liters of dialysis solution is not indicated in a single exchange.


Refer to manufacturer’s directions accompanying drugs to obtain full information on additives.


If the resealable rubber plug on the medication port is missing or partially removed, do not use product if medication is to be added.


After removing overwrap, check for minute leaks by squeezing container firmly. If leaks are found, discard the solution because the sterility may be impaired.


Freezing of solution may occur at temperatures below 0°C (32°F). Do not flex or manipulate container when frozen. Allow container to thaw naturally in ambient conditions and thoroughly mix contents by shaking.



Precautions


Aseptic technique must be used throughout the procedure and at its termination in order to reduce the possibility of infection. If peritonitis occurs, the choice and dosage of antibiotics should be based upon the results of identification and sensitivity studies of the isolated organism(s) when possible. Prior to identification of the involved organism(s), broad-spectrum antibiotics may be indicated.


Peritoneal dialysis solutions may be warmed in the overpouch to 37°C (98.6°F) to enhance patient comfort. However, only dry heat (for example, heating pad) should be used. Solutions should not be heated in water due to an increased risk of infection. Microwave ovens should not be used to heat solutions because there is a potential for damage to the solution container. Moreover, microwave oven heating may potentially cause overheating and/or non-uniform heating of the solution that may result in patient injury or discomfort.


Significant losses of protein, amino acids and water soluble vitamins may occur during peritoneal dialysis.


Replacement therapy should be provided as necessary.



Pregnancy


Teratogenic Effects

Pregnancy Category C


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


Do not administer unless solution is clear and seal is intact.



Adverse Reactions


Adverse reactions to peritoneal dialysis include mechanical and solution related problems as well as the results of contamination of equipment or improper technique in catheter placement. Abdominal pain, bleeding, peritonitis, subcutaneous infection around a chronic peritoneal catheter, catheter blockage, difficulty in fluid removal, and ileus are among the complications of the procedure. Solution related adverse reactions may include electrolyte and fluid imbalances, hypovolemia, hypervolemia, hypertension, hypotension, disequilibrium syndrome and muscle cramping.



Dianeal PD-1 Dosage and Administration


Dianeal PD-1 solutions are intended for intraperitoneal administration only.


Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.


The mode of therapy (Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis [IPD], Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis [CAPD], or Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis [CCPD]), frequency of treatment, formulation, exchange volume, duration of dwell, and length of dialysis should be selected by the physician responsible for and supervising the treatment of the individual patient.


To avoid the risk of severe dehydration and hypovolemia and to minimize the loss of protein, it is advisable to select the peritoneal dialysis solution with the lowest level of osmolarity consistent with the fluid removal requirements for that exchange.


Peritoneal dialysis solutions may be warmed in the overpouch to 37°C (98.6°F) to enhance patient comfort. However, only dry heat (for example, heating pad) should be used. (See Directions for Use)


The addition of heparin to the dialysis solution may be indicated to aid in prevention of catheter blockage in patients with peritonitis, or when the solution drainage contains fibrinous or proteinaceous material (Ribot et al. 1966). 1000 to 2000 USP units of heparin per liter of solution has been recommended for adults (Furman et al. 1978). For children, 50 units of heparin per 100 mL of dialysis fluid has been recommended (Irwin et al. 1981).


Additives may be incompatible. Complete information is not available. Those additives known to be incompatible should not be used. Consult with pharmacist, if available. If, in the informed judgement of the physician, it is deemed advisable to introduce additives, use aseptic technique. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced. Do not store solutions containing additives.



Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (IPD)


For dialysis of acute renal failure patients and maintenance dialysis of chronic renal failure patients


The cycle of instillation, dwell and removal of dialysis fluid is repeated sequentially over a period of hours (8 to 36 hours) as many times per week as indicated by the condition of the patient. For chronic renal failure patients, maintenance dialysis is often accomplished by periodic dialysis (3 to 5 times weekly) for shorter time periods (8 to 14 hours per session) (Mattocks and El-Bassiouni 1971).



Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD)


For maintenance dialysis of chronic renal failure patients


In CAPD, 1.5 to 3.0 liters of dialysis solution (depending upon patient size) are instilled into the peritoneal cavity of adults and the peritoneal access device is then clamped (Kim et al. 1984; Twardowski and Janicka 1981; Twardowski and Burrows 1984). For children, 30 to 50 mL/kg body weight with a maximum of 2 liters has been recommended (Potter et al. 1981; Irwin et al. 1981). The solution remains in the cavity for dwell times of 4 to 8 hours during the day and 8 to 12 hours overnight. At the conclusion of each dwell period, the access device is opened, the solution drained and fresh solution instilled. The procedure is repeated 3 to 5 times per day, 6 to 7 days per week. Solution exchange volumes and frequency of exchange should be individualized for adequate biochemical and fluid volume control (Moncrief et al. 1982; Twardowski et al. 1983). The majority of exchanges will utilize 1.5% or 2.5% dextrose containing peritoneal dialysis solutions, with 3.5% or 4.25% dextrose containing solutions being used when extra fluid removal is required. Patient weight is used as the indicator of the need for fluid removal (Popovich et al. 1978).


In CCPD, the patient receives 3 or 4 dialysis exchanges during the night which range from 2-1/2 to 3 hours dwell duration. Typically 1.5 to 2.0 liters of dialysis solution (depending upon patient size) are delivered each cycle by an automatic peritoneal dialysis cycler machine. After the last outflow during the night, an additional exchange is infused by the cycler machine into the peritoneum. The equipment is then disconnected from the patient, and the dialysate remains in the peritoneum for 14 to 15 hours during the day until the next nocturnal cycle (Diaz-Buxo et al. 1981). Combinations of 1.5% or 2.5% dextrose containing peritoneal dialysis solutions are usually used for the nighttime exchanges while 3.5% or 4.25% dextrose is used when extra fluid removal is required such as during the daytime exchange. Patient weight is used as the indicator of the need for fluid removal (Popovich et al. 1978) so therapy should be individualized according to the patient’s need for ultrafiltration.


It is recommended that adult patients being placed on chronic peritoneal dialysis or, in the case of pediatric patients, the selected caretaker, (as well as the patient, when suitable), should be appropriately trained in a program which is under the supervision of a physician. Training materials are available from Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL 60015, USA to facilitate this training.



How is Dianeal PD-1 Supplied


Dianeal PD-1 peritoneal dialysis solutions in AMBU-FLEX III containers are available in nominal size flexible containers with fill volumes and dextrose concentrations as indicated in Table 1.


All Dianeal PD-1 peritoneal dialysis solutions have overfills which are declared on container labeling.


Exposure of pharmaceutical products to heat should be minimized. Avoid excessive heat. It is recommended the product be stored at room temperature (25°C/77°F): brief exposure up to 40°C (104°F) does not adversely affect the product.



Directions for Use


Use aseptic technique.


For complete system preparation, see directions accompanying ancillary equipment.


Peritoneal dialysis solutions may be warmed in the overpouch to 37°C (98.6°F) to enhance patient comfort. However, only dry heat (for example, heating pad) should be used. Solutions should not be heated in water due to an increased risk of infection. Microwave ovens should not be used to heat solutions because there is a potential for damage to the solution container. Moreover, microwave oven heating may potentially cause overheating and/or non-uniform heating of the solution that may result in patient injury or discomfort.

Roxicet Solution



Pronunciation: OX-i-KOE-done/a-SEET-a-MIN-oh-fen
Generic Name: Oxycodone/Acetaminophen
Brand Name: Roxicet

Roxicet Solution contains acetaminophen. Severe and sometimes fatal liver problems, including the need for liver transplant, have been reported with the use of acetaminophen. Most cases of these liver problems occurred in patients taking excessive doses of acetaminophen (more than 4,000 mg per day). Also, patients who developed these liver problems were often using more than 1 medicine that contained acetaminophen. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.





Roxicet Solution is used for:

Relieving moderate to moderately severe pain. Roxicet Solution may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Roxicet Solution is a combination of a narcotic and an analgesic/antipyretic. It works in the brain and nervous system to decrease pain.

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Roxicet Solution

  • you have high blood carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia) or a certain severe bowel problem (eg, paralytic ileus)

  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)

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

  • if you have a history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other lung or breathing problems

  • if you have or recently have had any head injury, increased pressure in the brain, growths in the brain (eg, tumors), or infection of the brain or nervous system

  • if you are in very poor health; are dehydrated or have low blood volume; or have drowsiness, stomach pain, or severe diarrhea caused by antibiotic use (pseudomembranous colitis)

  • if you drink alcohol; have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, mood or mental problems, or suicidal thoughts or actions; or are going through withdrawal from alcohol or other substances

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


  • Anticholinergics (eg, scopolamine, oxybutynin) because the risk of a certain severe bowel problem (paralytic ileus) may be increased

  • Cimetidine, muscle relaxants (eg, cyclobenzaprine), phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), or sulfinpyrazone because the risk of side effects, such as severe drowsiness, slow or difficult breathing, confusion, and seizures, may be increased

  • Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), clarithromycin, isoniazid, nefazodone, protease inhibitors (eg, boceprevir, ritonavir), or telithromycin because they may increase the risk of Roxicet Solution's side effects

  • Buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, naltrexone, pentazocine, or rifamycins (eg, rifampin) because they may decrease Roxicet Solution's effectiveness

  • Lamotrigine, loop diuretics (eg, furosemide), or zidovudine because their effectiveness may be decreased by Roxicet Solution

  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Roxicet Solution

  • Medicines that may harm the liver (eg, acetaminophen, methotrexate, certain medicines for HIV infection) because the risk of liver side effects may be increased. Ask your doctor if you are unsure if any of your medicines might harm the liver

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Roxicet Solution 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.

Some people who take Roxicet Solution for a long time may develop a need to continue taking it. People who take high doses are also at risk. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction.
