MEDICATION GUIDE

 

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Mobic is contraindicated for the treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

BOXED WARNING

Cardiovascular Risk

NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.....

Gastrointestinal Risk

NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events.

WARNINGS

Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events

Clinical trials of several COX-2 selective and nonselective NSAIDs of up to three years duration have shown an increased risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal.....

Hypertension

NSAIDs, including Mobic, can lead to onset of new hypertension or worsening of preexisting hypertension, either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of CV events. Patients taking thiazides or loop diuretics may have impaired response to these therapies when taking NSAIDs.....

Congestive Heart Failure and Edema

Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. Mobic should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention, hypertension, or heart failure.

Gastrointestinal (GI) Effects - Risk of GI Ulceration, Bleeding, and Perforation

.....Patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or gastrointestinal bleeding who use NSAIDs have a greater than 10-fold increased risk for developing a GI bleed compared to patients with neither of these risk factors. Other factors that increase the risk for GI bleeding in patients treated with NSAIDs include concomitant use of oral corticosteroids or anticoagulants, longer duration of NSAID therapy, smoking, use of alcohol, older age, and poor general health status.....

Renal Effects

Long-term administration of NSAIDs has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury. Renal toxicity has also been seen in patients in whom renal prostaglandins have a compensatory role in the maintenance of renal perfusion.

Advanced Renal Disease

No information is available from controlled clinical studies regarding the use of Mobic in patients with advanced renal disease. Therefore, treatment with Mobic is not recommended in these patients with advanced renal disease. If Mobic therapy must be initiated, close monitoring of the patient's renal function is advisable.

Skin Reactions

NSAIDs, including Mobic, can cause serious skin adverse events such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal. These serious events may occur without warning. Patients should be informed about the signs and symptoms of serious skin manifestations and use of the drug should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity.

See information regarding the Proper Method for Heating Solution Prior to Administration 

The use of 5 or 6 liters of dialysis solution is not indicated in a single exchange

Do not use 6 liter product with Pac-X or Pac-Xtra hardware.

(click product name to read prescribing information)

WARNINGS

PRECAUTIONS

  • General
  • Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

See information regarding the Proper Method for Heating Solution Prior to Administration.

.....Contamination of the patient connector may result in peritonitis.

Excessive use of Dianeal Low Calcium peritoneal dialysis solution with 4.25% dextrose during a peritoneal dialysis treatment can result in significant removal of water from the patient. 

After the pull ring has been removed from the outlet of the Luer lock system, check for broken connector frangible seal as evidenced by continuous fluid flow from port. A few drops of solution within the connector or protector cap may be present. If a continuous stream or droplets of fluid are noted with the Luer lock or Lineo connector systems, discard solution because sterility may be impaired.

During solution drainage, fibrin strands may be observed in the solution and may become attached to the blue connector frangible closure of the Luer lock system. In occasional instances, partial or complete obstruction of draining may occur. Manipulation of the connector frangible closure in the tubing may free the fibrin obstruction.

Diovan (valsartan) Tablets

(click product name to read prescribing information)

WARNINGS
  • Hypotension

PRECAUTIONS

  • Impaired Renal Function
  • Geriatric Use

ADVERSE REACTIONS

  • Post-Myocardial Infarction
  • Post-Marketing Experience
    • Rhabdomyolysis
  • Clinical Laboratory Test Findings
    • Creatinine

PATIENT PACKAGE INSERT

Caution should be observed when initiating therapy in patients with heart failure or post-myocardial infarction patients. Patients with heart failure or post-myocardial infarction patients given Diovan commonly have some reduction in blood pressure, but discontinuation of therapy because of continuing symptomatic hypotension usually is not necessary when dosing instructions are followed. In controlled trials in heart failure patients, the incidence of hypotension in valsartan-treated patients was 5.5% compared to 1.8% in placebo-treated patients. In the Valsartan in Acute Myocardial Infarction Trial (VALIANT), hypotension in post-myocardial infarction patients led to permanent discontinuation of therapy in 1.4% of valsartan-treated patients and 0.8% of captopril-treated patients.

Nubain (nalbuphine HCl) Injection

  • Events Observed During Post-marketing Surveillance of Nubain

.....Fetal and neonatal adverse effects that have been reported following the administration of nalbuphine to the mother during labor include fetal bradycardia, respiratory depression at birth, apnea, cyanosis, and hypotonia.

Relafen (nabumetone) Tablets

(click product name to read prescribing information)

WARNINGS
  • Risk of GI Ulceration, Bleeding, and Perforation with NSAID Therapy

PRECAUTIONS

  • General
    • Renal Effects

 

Studies to date have not identified any subset of patients not at risk of developing peptic ulceration and bleeding. Except for a prior history of serious GI events and other risk factors known to be associated with peptic ulcer disease, such as alcoholism, smoking, other medications known to increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcer (e.g., oral corticosteroids), etc., no risk factors (e.g., age, sex) have been associated with increased risk. Elderly or debilitated patients seem to tolerate ulceration or bleeding less well than other individuals and most spontaneous reports of fatal GI events are in this population.

Ventavis (iloprost) Inhalation Solution

(click product name to read prescribing information)

WARNINGS

PRECAUTIONS

  • General
  • Information for Patients

ADVERSE REACTIONS

  • "STEP" Clinical Trial

Ventavis is intended for inhalation administration only via either of two pulmonary drug delivery devices: the Ineb AAD System or the Prodose AAD System.

Vital signs should be monitored while initiating Ventavis. In patients with low systemic blood pressure, care should be taken to avoid further hypotension.

    • Amiodarone or Verapamil, with Higher Doses of Simvastatin
  • Table 8:  Drug Interactions Associated with Increased Risk of Myopathy/Rhabdomyolys

PRECAUTIONS

  • Other Drug Interactions
    • Cyclosporine or Danazol

As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, the risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis is dose related.....

All patients starting therapy with simvastatin or whose dose of simvastatin is being increased, should be advised of the risk of myopathy and told to report promptly any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness. Simvastatin therapy should be discontinued immediately if myopathy is diagnosed or suspected.....

The risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis is increased by concomitant use of simvastatin with the following:

  • Potent inhibitors of CYP3A4

  • Gemfibrozil, particularly with higher doses of simvastatin

  • Other lipid-lowering drugs (other fibrates or ≥1 g/day of niacin)

  • Cyclosporine or Danazol, with higher doses of simvastatin

  • Amiodarone or verapamil, with higher doses of simvastatin
