  • Systemic corticosteroids reduce the absorption of calcium. In case of concomitant administration of corticosteroids, it may be necessary to increase the dose of Caltrate Vitamin D3.
  • Combination therapy with ion exchange resins like cholestyramine or laxatives like paraffin oil may reduce gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin D3.
  • Calcium carbonate may affect the absorption of tetracyclines when administered simultaneously. It is recommended to postpone the intake of tetracyclines at least 2 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after oral intake of calcium.
  • Hypercalcemia can increase the toxicity of digitalis when calcium and vitamin D are administered simultaneously. Patients should therefore be monitored regularly (ECG control and calcium levels).

Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

  • The prolonged use on the face of corticosteroids with moderate activity exposes to the occurrence of corticosteroid-induced and paradoxically corticosensitive dermatitis, with rebound after each stop. A gradual weaning, particularly difficult, is then necessary.
  • Due to the passage of the corticosteroid into the systemic circulation, treatment over large areas or under occlusion may cause the systemic effects of systemic corticosteroid therapy, particularly in infants and toddlers. They consist of a cushingoid syndrome and a slowing of growth. These accidents disappear when treatment is stopped, but abrupt cessation can be followed by acute adrenal insufficiency.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

  • In infants, it is preferable to avoid corticosteroids of moderate activity. One should be particularly wary of spontaneous occlusion phenomena which may occur in the folds or under the layers.
  • In the event of a bacterial or mycotic infection of a corticosensitive dermatosis, precede the use of the corticosteroid with a specific treatment.
  • If a local intolerance appears, the treatment must be interrupted and the cause must be sought.
  • Breast-feeding: during oral treatment, breast-feeding should be avoided because corticosteroids are excreted in breast milk. By local route, the transdermal passage and therefore the risk of excretion of the corticosteroid in the milk will depend on the surface treated, the degree of epidermal damage and the duration of treatment.

TATE TO ASK FOR THE ADVICE OF YOUR DOCTOR OR YOUR PHARMACIST.

PREGNANCY & BREAST-FEEDING & FERTILITY

Pregnancy

  • No teratogenicity studies have been performed with topical corticosteroids.
  • However, studies concerning the intake of oral corticosteroids have not revealed a higher risk of malformation than that observed in the general population.

Breast-feeding

  • During oral treatment, breast-feeding should be avoided because corticosteroids are excreted in breast milk.

By local route, the transdermal passage and therefore the risk of excretion of the corticosteroid in the milk will depend on the surface treated, the degree of epidermal damage and the duration of treatment.

What happens if I overdose from Alkocortenbioform ?

If you use more ALKOCORTENBIOFORM, cream than you should:

  • Always use ALKOCORTENBIOFORM, cream as your doctor has told you.
  • Excessive or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids may be the cause of exacerbation of undesirable effects, and systemic passage is not excluded.

  • In humans, no particular malformative effects have been reported with salicylic acid. Fetal toxicity reported with NSAIDs is not expected with Diprosalic given the very low systemic concentrations under normal conditions of use.
  • The use of Diprosalic during pregnancy can be envisaged in strict compliance with the conditions of use: application to a skin surface <10% of the body surface, treatment duration limited to 4 weeks.
  • The mother may experience a prolonged bleeding time as well as the newborn if treated until delivery.

Feeding with milk

  • Corticosteroids and salicylic acid pass into the milk. Due to topical use, Diprosalic can be administered during breast-feeding.
  • Do not apply on the breasts.

What happens if I overdose from Diprosalic ?

Symptoms

  • Excessive or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids may lead to inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis resulting in secondary adrenal insufficiency and be the cause of manifestations of hypercorticism, including Cushing’s disease.
  • Excessive or prolonged use of topical preparations containing salicylic acid may cause symptoms of salicylic intoxication.

Treatment

  • Appropriate symptomatic treatment is indicated. Symptoms of acute hypercorticism are usually reversible. Correct electrolyte disturbances if necessary.
  • In the event of chronic toxicity, a gradual stopping of corticosteroids is advised. Treatment of salicylate poisoning is symptomatic.
  • Salicylic acid must be eliminated quickly. Orally administer sodium bicarbonate solution to alkalinize the urine and increase diuresis.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Do not apply a double dose to make up for the dose you forgot to take.

  3. Its spectrum of activity is that of iodine (antiseptic bactericide on all bacteria and fungicide on yeasts and filamentous fungi).

What are the side effects of Betadine?

Exceptionally, hypersensitivity reactions: urticaria, angioedema, anaphylactic shock, anaphylactoid reaction, have been described with products containing povidone, including specialties BETADINE.

Possibility of irritation manifesting itself in the mucous membranes.

  1. In case of repeated administrations and excessive use, this product may, on the one hand be irritating to the mucous membranes, on the other hand it can occur iodized overload likely to cause thyroid dysfunction.
  2. Due to the presence of terpene derivatives and in case of non-compliance with the recommended doses, possibility of agitation and mental confusion in the elderly.

Betadine Interactions

RECOMMENDED ASSOCIATIONS :

  • Mercurial antiseptics : erythema, phlyctenes, and even mucocutaneous necrosis (formation of a caustic complex when concomitant use of iodized and mercurial antiseptics).
  • The interaction depends on the stability of the organomercurial at the cutaneous level and the individual sensitivity.

Betadine and PREGNANCY / BREAST FEEDING / FERTILITY

Pregnancy

Studies in animals have not shown any teratogenic effect.

In the absence of teratogenic effect in animals, a malformative effect in the human species is not expected. Indeed, to date, the substances responsible for malformations in humans have been teratogenic in animals in well-conducted studies on two species.In clinical practice, there are currently no data of sufficient relevance to evaluate the possible malformative effect of povidone iodine when administered at 1

trimester of pregnancy:

  1. Since the fetal thyroid begins to fix iodine after 14 weeks of amenorrhea, no repercussions on the fetal thyroid are expected in case of prior administrations.
  2. Iodine overload, very likely with prolonged use of this product after this term, can lead to fetal hypothyroidism, biological or even clinical (goiter).
  3. Consequently, prolonged use of this drug is against-indicated from 2 e  quarter. Its use, on an ad hoc basis, should only be considered if necessary.

Breastfeeding:

  1. In case of breastfeeding, it is preferable not to use this drug due to the absence of kinetic data on the passage of terpene derivatives in milk and the potential neurological toxicity on the infant.Iodine passes into breast milk at concentrations higher than maternal plasma.
  2. Because of the risk of hypothyroidism in infants, breastfeeding is contraindicated in case of prolonged treatment with this drug.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

do not take a double dose to make up for it. Resume the normal course of your treatment.

temgesic Interactions

Contraindicated associations

Level III morphine agonists ( alfentanil, dextromoramide, fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, oxycodone, pethidine, phenoperidine, remifentanyl, sufentanil )

  • Decrease in the analgesic effect by competitive blocking of receptors, with the risk of the appearance of a withdrawal syndrome.

Not recommended associations

Other morphine analgesics

  • Decrease in the analgesic effect by blocking the receptors with the risk of the appearance of a withdrawal syndrome.

Alcohol

  • Alcohol enhancement of the sedative effect of buprenorphine; impaired alertness can make driving and using machines dangerous.
  • Avoid taking alcoholic drinks and drugs containing alcohol.

Associations to take into account

Benzodiazepines

  • Increased risk of respiratory depression, which may be fatal in case of overdose.

Other sedative drugs:

morphine derivatives (analgesics, cough suppressants and substitution treatments), neuroleptics, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, anxiolytics other than benzodiazepines (eg meprobamate), hypnotics, sedative antidepressants (amitriptyline, doxepine, mirtiprazine, mirtazamine, ), sedative H 1 antihistamines , central antihypertensive drugs, baclofen and thalidomide:

Precautions for use

  • In case of surgery, tell the anesthesiologist to take this medication.
  • IN CASE OF DOUBT, DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK FOR THE ADVICE OF YOUR DOCTOR OR YOUR PHARMACIST.

PREGNANCY & BREAST-FEEDING & FERTILITY

Pregnancy

  • Clinically, there is currently no sufficiently relevant data to assess a possible malformative or fetotoxic effect of buprenorphine when it is administered during pregnancy.
  • However, given the expected benefit to the mother, buprenorphine may be prescribed during pregnancy.
  • During the last three months of pregnancy, chronic use of buprenorphine by the mother, regardless of the dose, can cause withdrawal syndrome in the newborn.
  • In addition, at the end of pregnancy, high doses of buprenorphine, even in brief treatment, are liable to cause respiratory depression in the newborn.
  • Consequently, at the end of pregnancy in the event of occasional high doses or chronic administration of buprenorphine, neonatal monitoring should be considered because of a theoretical risk of respiratory depression or withdrawal syndrome in the newborn. .

Feeding with milk

  • Due to the passage of buprenorphine and its metabolites in breast milk and insufficient clinical data, it is preferable as a precaution to avoid breast-feeding in case of maternal treatment.

What happens if I overdose from temgesic ?

  • Despite a large safety margin, overdose can occur with high dosages.
  • In the event of accidental overdose, comprehensive management should be instituted, including close monitoring of the patient’s respiratory and cardiac status. The main symptom to be treated is respiratory depression, which can lead to respiratory arrest and death. If the patient vomits, precautions should be taken to avoid bronchial inhalation of digestive contents.

Treatment :

  • Symptomatic treatment of respiratory depression by appropriate means should be initiated. Freedom of the upper airways should be ensured as well as controlled ventilation, or assisted if necessary. The use of an opioid antagonist (naloxone) is recommended, despite its modest effect on the respiratory symptoms due to buprenorphine, the latter being strongly bound to the morphine receptors. Doxapram can also be used.
  • Postoperatively, one of the components of respiratory depression may be the residual effect of previously administered narcotics, so naloxone should be given as a first-line treatment, then the use of doxapram may be considered.
  • In the event of administration of an opioid antagonist (naloxone), the long duration of action of the product should be taken into account.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

  • Ask the prescribing doctor for his opinion.

What happens if you stop taking temgesic ?

  • Abrupt discontinuation of treatment may lead to the appearance of a withdrawal syndrome.
  • If you have further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

  • After opening the sachet, put the powder in a glass, add water and drink as soon as it dissolves.

how does Calcium Sandoz work?

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Mineral supplements, ATC codes: A12AA20.

  • Calcium ions are of decisive importance in the activation of biological systems. The threshold for stimulation of excitable membranes depends on the extracellular concentration of calcium ions.  
  • Calcium ions further help regulate the permeability of cell membranes . 
  • A deficiency of calcium ions in the plasma rises the excitability of neuromuscular , while a surplus of decreases .
  • Oral administration of calcium promotes bone remineralization in cases of calcium deficiency.

How To Store Calcium Sandoz ?

  • Keep this medication out of the sight and reach of children.
  • Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the carton after {EXP}. The expiration date refers to the last day of that month.

  • extensive rash, hives and itching.

If you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, or if any side effects get serious, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.

Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Calcium Sandoz Interactions

  • Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion. Due to an increased risk of hypercalcaemia, serum calcium should be monitored regularly during concomitant treatment with thiazide diuretics.
  • Systemic corticosteroids reduce the absorption of calcium. In case of concomitant use, it may be necessary to increase the dose of CALCIUM SANDOZ.
  • The digestive absorption of medicinal products containing tetracycline may be reduced in the event of concomitant administration of medicinal products containing calcium. Therefore, specialties containing tetracycline should be administered at least two hours before or four to six hours after oral intake of calcium.
  • The toxicity of cardiac glycosides may be increased by hypercalcemia resulting from calcium therapy. The patients must then be the subject of a clinical follow-up with control of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the calcium level.
  • Due to a decrease in the gastrointestinal absorption of bisphosphonates or sodium fluoride, it is recommended, during concomitant treatments, to observe a delay of at least three hours before taking calcium.
  • Oxalic acid (found in spinach and rhubarb) and phytic acid (found in all cereals) can inhibit calcium absorption by forming insoluble complexes with calcium ions. After taking food with a high content of oxalic acid or phytic acid, the patient must wait two hours before taking products containing calcium.

Pediatric population

  • Interaction studies have only been performed in adults.
  • Not applicable.

how does hiconcil work?

ABSORPTION : When

  • taken orally, amoxicillin is approximately 80 percent absorbed.
  • This absorption is not influenced by food.

DISTRIBUTION :

  • The serum peak, 2 hours after the intake, reaches a level of 7 to 10 µg / ml for an intake of 500 mg and of 13 to 15 µg / mI for an intake of 1 g.
  • Serum levels increase with dose.
  • In subjects with normal renal functions, the half-life is 1 hour on average.
  • Diffusion in most tissues and biological environments: presence of antibiotics at therapeutic rates observed in bronchial secretions, sinuses, amniotic fluid, saliva, aqueous humor, CSF, serous membranes, middle ear.
  • Amoxicillin has a good diffusion in the tonsils, depending on the serum concentrations: between 1.5 and 3 hours after taking 1 gram of amoxicillin in adults, the tonsil concentrations are on average 3 to 4 µg / g .
  • Amoxicillin crosses the placental barrier and passes into breast milk.

  • Uncommon: vomiting.
  • Very rare: pseudomembranous colitis, hemorrhagic colitis.
  • Not known: superficial tooth staining in children, usually reversible after brushing teeth.

Kidney and urinary tract disorders :

  • Not known: acute interstitial nephritis and crystalluria.

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders :

  • Common: rash.

Hepatobiliary disorders :

  • Very rare: hepatitis, cholestatic jaundice.
  • Frequency not known: moderate and transient increase in serum transaminases (ALT and / or ASAT).

hiconcil Interactions

RECOMMENDED ASSOCIATION :Methotrexate:

  • Increase in the effects and hematological toxicity of methotrexate by inhibition of renal tubular secretion by penicillins.

COMBINATION TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT :

Allopurinol:

  • Increased risk of skin reactions.

SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF INR IMBALANCE :

  • Many cases of increased activity of oral anticoagulants have been reported in patients receiving antibiotics. The marked infectious or inflammatory context, the age and general condition of the patient appear to be risk factors. Under these circumstances, it appears difficult to distinguish between the infectious pathology and its treatment in the occurrence of the INR imbalance. However, certain classes of antibiotics are more involved: these include fluoroquinolones, macrolides, cyclins, cotrimoxazole and certain cephalosporins.
  • Not applicable.

Warnings and Precautions

  • The occurrence of any allergic manifestation requires the discontinuation of treatment, and the establishment of an appropriate treatment.
  • Severe and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylaxis) have been observed exceptionally in patients treated with beta-lactams.
  • Their administration therefore requires an examination.
  • Given a history of typical allergy to these products, the contraindication is definite.
  • The penicillin allergy is crossed with the cephalosporin allergy in 5 to 10% of cases. This leads to the proscription of penicillins when the subject is known to be allergic to cephalosporins.
  •  In the event of renal insufficiency, adjust the dosage according to the creatinine clearance or the creatinine level (see dosage and method of administration).
  • In the event of administration of high doses of amoxicillin, sufficient fluid intake should be ensured to reduce the risk of crystalluria.
  • A positive direct Coombs test was obtained during treatment with beta-lactams. This could also occur in subjects treated with amoxicillin.

At very high concentrations, tends to amoxicillin:

  • reduce assay results in blood glucose
  • interfere in the determinations of the total protein level of the serum by color reaction,
  • give a false positive color reaction in glycosuria assays by the semi-quantitative colorimetric method.
  • Treatment of Lyme disease: Jarisch-Herxheimer reactions may occur.
  • This medicinal product contains 5.7 mg of sodium per measuring spoon: take this into account only in children on a strict sodium diet.
  • Due to the presence of sucrose , this medication is contraindicated in cases of fructose intolerance, glucose and galactose malabsorption syndrome or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency.
  • This medicine contains 2.2 g of sucrose per measuring spoon: take this into account in the daily ration.
  • Breast-feeding: there is little passage into breast milk and the quantities ingested are much lower than the therapeutic doses. As a result, breast-feeding is possible while taking this antibiotic. However, discontinue breast-feeding (or medication) if diarrhea, candidiasis, or rash occurs in the infant.

PREGNANCY & BREAST-FEEDING & FERTILITY

Pregnancy

  • Studies in animals have not produced any evidence of teratogenic effects. In the absence of a teratogenic effect in animals, a malformative effect in humans is not expected. Indeed, to date, the substances responsible for malformations in the human species have been shown to be teratogenic in animals during well-conducted studies on two species.
  • Clinically, analysis of a high number of exposed pregnancies apparently revealed no specific malformative or foetotoxic effects of amoxicillin. However, only epidemiological studies would make it possible to verify the absence of risk.
  • Therefore, amoxicillin can be prescribed during pregnancy if needed.
  • The passage of amoxicillin in breast milk is low and the amounts ingested are much lower than the therapeutic doses. As a result, breast-feeding is possible while taking this antibiotic.
  • However, stop breast-feeding (or the medication) if diarrhea, candidiasis or rash occurs in the infant.

What happens if I overdose from hiconcil ?

  •  The manifestations of overdose can be neuropsychic, renal (crystalluria – see warnings and precautions for use) and gastrointestinal.

Drug withdrawn from the market on 06/22/2005

what is Diprosept Cream medication used for and indication?

Preferred indications where local corticosteroid therapy is considered the best treatment:

  •  contact eczema,
  • atopic dermatitis,
  • lichenification.

 Indications where local corticosteroid therapy is one of the usual treatments :

  • stasis dermatitis,
  • psoriasis (excluding very extensive plaques),
  • lichen,
  • genital sclero-atrophic lichen,
  •  non-parasitic prurigo,
  •  dyshidrosis ,
  • annular granuloma,
  • discoid lupus erythematosus,
  • seborrheic dermatitis except for the face,
  • symptomatic treatment of pruritus from mycosis fungoides.

Indications of circumstance for a short duration :

  • insect bites and parasitic prurigo after etiological treatment.
  • The cream form is more particularly intended for acute, oozing lesions.

Diprosept Cream Dosage

  • Treatment should be limited to 1 or 2 applications per day. An increase in the number of daily applications may worsen the side effects without improving the therapeutic effects.
  • The treatment of large surfaces requires monitoring the number of tubes used.
  • It is advisable to apply the product in spaced strokes, then to spread it by massaging lightly until it is fully absorbed.
  • Certain dermatoses (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc.) make gradual cessation desirable. It can be obtained by reducing the frequency of applications and / or by using a less strong or less dosed corticosteroid.

Diprosept Cream Contraindications

  • Hypersensitivity to any of the products contained in the preparation.
  • Primary bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infections.
  • Ulcerated lesions.
  • Acne.
  • Rosacea.
  • Application to the eyelids (risk of glaucoma).
  • Do not apply to the breasts during breastfeeding because of the risk of ingestion of the product by the newborn.

how does Diprosept Cream work?

  • The extent of transdermal passage and systemic effects depend on the size of the surface treated, the degree of epidermal damage, and the duration of treatment.
  • These effects are all the more to be feared as the treatment is prolonged.

Diprosept Cream Side Effects

Adverse effects due to corticosteroid :

  • The prolonged use of corticosteroids of strong activity can cause atrophy of the skin, telangiectasias (to be feared particularly on the face), stretch marks (at the root of the limbs in particular, and occurring more readily in adolescents), secondary ecchymotic purpura with atrophy, skin fragility.
  • In the face, corticosteroids can create perioral dermatitis or worsen rosacea (see warnings and contraindications).
  • A delayed healing of sluggish wounds, bedsores, leg ulcers can be observed (see contraindications).
  • Possible systemic effects (see warnings: cushingoid syndrome, growth retardation, acute adrenal insufficiency).
  • Acneiform or pustular eruptions, hypertrichosis, depigmentation have been reported.
  • Secondary infections, particularly under occlusive dressing or in folds and allergic contact dermatoses have also been reported with the use of topical corticosteroids.

Adverse effects due to the antiseptic :

  • Risk of hypersensitivity.
  • Yellow discoloration of the skin, disappearing quickly.

Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

  • Prolonged use on the face of moderately active corticosteroids exposes the occurrence of corticosteroid-induced and paradoxically corticosensitive dermatitis, with rebound after each stop. A gradual weaning, particularly difficult, is then necessary.
  • Due to the passage of the corticosteroid into the systemic circulation, treatment over large areas or under occlusion may cause the systemic effects of systemic corticosteroid therapy, particularly in infants and toddlers.
  • They consist of a cushingoid syndrome and a slowing of growth. These accidents disappear when treatment is stopped, but abrupt cessation can be followed by acute adrenal insufficiency.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE:

  • In infants, it is preferable to avoid corticosteroids of strong activity. It is necessary to be particularly wary of the phenomena of spontaneous occlusions which can occur in the folds and under the layers.
  • In the event of a bacterial or mycotic infection of a corticosensitive dermatosis, precede the use of the corticosteroid with a specific treatment.
  • If an intolerance appears, the treatment must be interrupted and the cause must be sought.

PREGNANCY & BREAST-FEEDING & FERTILITY

Pregnancy

  • Animal teratogenesis studies have not been performed with topical corticosteroids. However, studies of oral corticosteroids in pregnant women have not shown a higher risk of malformation than that observed in the general population.
  • Accordingly, these drugs can be prescribed during pregnancy if needed.

Breast-feeding

  • Breast-feeding is possible while taking this medicine.
  • Do not apply to the breasts during breastfeeding because of the risk of ingestion of the product by the newborn.

what is chloraprep medication used for and indication?

Chlorhexidine is a disinfectant.

It is used for skin infections and to prevent infections. It is also used to prevent recurring infections such as boils .

Skin infection

Symptoms

  • In case of a skin infection, bacteria penetrate the skin and cause inflammation. It can arise from damage to the skin, such as eczema, bedsores, cuts and razor wounds.
  • You may notice a skin infection by redness, pain or itching, swelling or pus.

Operation

  • Chlorhexidine fights different types of bacteria and some types of fungi. It destroys the cell wall of these bacteria and fungi, causing them to die.

Use

  • With slightly infected scrapes or cuts, you can use chlorhexidine to disinfect the skin. The body then cleans up the bacteria itself.
  • You can also use chlorhexidine to prevent infection. For example on the skin before a minor procedure or examination or on the skin and mucous membranes of the vagina after birth.
  • The chlorhexidine solution is also applied to certain objects that need to be disinfected. Consult the instructions on the packaging or your pharmacy for this.

Wounds

  • With a superficial scrape or cut, it is important that the wound does not become infected. Therefore, disinfect the wound with, for example, chlorhexidine.
  • Then cover the wound with gauze or bandage. First let an abrasion dry in the air.

Operation

  • Chlorhexidine fights different types of bacteria and some types of fungi. It destroys the cell wall of these bacteria and fungi, causing them to die.

Steenpuist

  • A boil can develop when a hair follicle becomes inflamed with a bacteria. The pus in the hair follicle accumulates and causes a painful pimple.
  • After a few days to two weeks, the pimple breaks through, allowing the pus to drain.

Treatment

  • Always see your doctor with a boil on the face.
  • Disinfect a (broken) boil and the skin around it with chlorhexidine. This prevents the bacteria from spreading and creating new boils.
  • Do you often have a boil or does it keep coming back? You can try to avoid this by washing the skin 2 to 3 times a week with soap containing chlorhexidine.

Is ChloraPrep the same as chlorhexidine?

chloraprep Dosage

Look for the correct dosage in the package insert or on the label of the pharmacy.

How?

Cream, lotion or solution

  • First, clean the skin by rinsing with lukewarm water. Optionally, you can use a disinfectant soap or a pH-neutral wax emulsion. Avoid using regular soap as it can irritate the skin and make the condition worse.
  • Then pat the skin dry.
  • You can remove crusts by soaking them in baby oil or with a solution of 1 teaspoon of table salt in 1 glass of water, which you always prepare fresh.
  • Then apply the cream, lotion or solution:
  • Cream : apply the cream thinly. If necessary, you can cover the rubbed area with a sterile bandage or plaster.
  • Lotion, solution : apply the solution with gauze to the wound and the skin around it. If necessary, you can cover the rubbed area with a sterile bandage or plaster. Some lotions are flammable. Therefore, stay away from an open flame such as a cigarette.

  • Note: This medicine can stain clothes or linens. These are difficult to wash out.
  • In case of a skin infection, try to prevent others from becoming infected and the condition from spreading further into the body by taking the following measures.
  • Do not scratch the spots. Cut the nails short and tape off the affected skin if necessary. Always clean under the nails.
  • Use your own towel.

Liquid soap solution

This is usually used to disinfect the skin prior to an operation or procedure. Doctors and nurses also use the soap to disinfect their hands. It is also used to prevent recurring infections such as boils.

  • Apply the soap solution to damp skin. Rub in for several minutes. Foam will form. Rinse and dry with sterile gauze if necessary.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes and do not let the medicine get into the mouth or nose as this can cause irritation. If it does get into the eyes, rinse immediately with water.

When?

  • Divide the treatments as well as possible over the day. Then the drug has a constant effect. How long it works depends on the strength of the preparation. The stronger preparations (0.5% chlorhexidine or more) work for about six hours. You can apply these products every six hours.

How long?

  • You can apply this drug for as long as you want. Bacteria usually do not become insensitive to this drug, even if you use it for a long time.
  • If the condition spreads, you should contact the doctor.

chloraprep Contraindications

This medication is contraindicated in patients who have experienced hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, isopropyl alcohol or orange yellow S (E110).

how does chloraprep work?

Pharmacotherapeutic group: chlorhexidine in combination, ATC code: D08AC52 .

Action mechanism

  • Antiseptics of the bisbiguanide family destroy bacterial cells by non-specific interaction with acidic phospholipids in the cell membrane.
  • Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a cationic biguanide. Its antimicrobial activity is related to the destruction of the cell membrane and the precipitation of the contents of the cell. It has a bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect on a large number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is relatively ineffective against mycobacteria. It inhibits certain viruses and is found to be active against certain fungi. It is inactive against bacterial spores. It has a higher residual power compared to currently available skin antiseptics. Chlorhexidine gluconate has a strong binding power with the skin and a documented cutaneous residual power at 48 hours. Chlorhexidine gluconate is not neutralized in the presence of organic substances.
  • Isopropyl alcohol is a fast acting, broad spectrum bactericidal antiseptic, but it is not considered to be persistent. It seems to act according to a mechanism of protein denaturation.

Pharmacodynamic effects

  • CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application is a sterile antiseptic solution combining 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol, which is effective in rapidly and persistently reducing the bacterial density on various parts of the body for a large spectrum of organisms. Isopropyl alcohol (70%) ensures the immediate destruction of transient and resident microorganisms on the stratum corneum, and chlorhexidine gluconate (2%) binds to the surface layers of cells in the epidermis and exerts a residual antimicrobial effect (persistent) which prevents the multiplication of microorganisms.

Clinical efficacy and safety

Clinical studies with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol have shown that this combination has equal or similar effectiveness in reducing skin bacterial load and more sustained antibacterial effects over longer periods after application compared to components used alone and other commonly used antiseptics such as povidone iodine.

CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application meets European standards for chemical disinfectants and antiseptic products:

  • Standard EN 1040 – Basic bactericidal activity (phase 1)
  • Standard EN 1275 – Basic fungicidal activity (phase 1)
  • Standard EN 13727 – Bactericidal activity (phase 2 / step 1)
  • Standard EN 13624 – Fungicidal activity (phase 2 / step 1)

CHLORAPREP meets these EN criteria for bactericidal and fungicidal activity against the following organisms with contact times between 5 and 15 minutes, with the exception of Aspergillus brasiliensis. Additional tests of undiluted CHLORAPREP against Aspergillus brasiliensis for an exposure time of up to 60 minutes met the criteria of EN 13624, as indicated below:

chloraprep Side Effects

Skin disorders

  • In very rare cases (<1 / 10,000), allergic skin reactions or skin irritation to chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol have been reported: erythema, rash (erythematous, papular or maculopapular), pruritus and blisters or blisters on the application site. Other local symptoms include a burning sensation, pain and inflammation of the skin.
  • Frequency is unknown for: dermatitis, eczema, urticaria, chemical burns in newborns.

Immune disorders

  • The frequency is not known for: hypersensitivity including anaphylactic shock (see sections Contraindications and Warnings and precautions for use).
  • The most frequently reported adverse reactions are related to application site reactions. It was noted that these reactions occurred most often in the application area (that is to say at the site to be prepared) and only very rarely spread. These reactions were often transient, or disappeared following topical treatment with corticosteroids or antihistamines. The most frequently reported reactions were mild in nature; they included rash, erythema, blisters, pain or itching localized at the application site. The frequency, nature and severity of adverse reactions in children are expected to be the same as in adults.
  • Cases of anaphylactic reactions have been reported during anesthesia.

Eye disorders:

  • The frequency is unknown for: eye irritation, pain, hyperemia, impaired vision, chemical burn, eye injury.

Description of selected adverse reactions:

  • There have been spontaneous reports of generalized allergic reactions potentially associated with ChloraPrep solutions and reported during anesthesia. In some cases, the patient may have had a pre-established sensitivity to chlorhexidine .
  • This product can cause severe allergic reactions. Symptoms may include wheezing, difficulty breathing, shock, swelling of the face, hives, or rash. The use of CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application is contraindicated when patients have shown a history of hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine or isopropyl alcohol (see section Contraindications). If hypersensitivity or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and seek medical help immediately.

chloraprep Interactions

The alcohol in ChloraPrep should not come in contact with certain vaccines or injections for skin tests (patch tests). If in doubt, consult the vaccine leaflet.

Chlorhexidine is not compatible with soap, hypochlorite bleaches and any other anionic agents. Hypochlorite bleach can cause brown stains to appear on textiles that have previously been in contact with preparations containing chlorhexidine.

Effects on ability to Drive and use machines

There are no restrictions for this with this medication.

Warnings and Precautions

The solution is flammable . Do not use electrocautery procedures or sources of ignition until the skin is completely dry.

  • Remove all materials, sheets and soaked gowns before continuing the procedure. Do not use excessive amounts and do not allow the solution to stagnate in folds of the skin or under the patient or drip on sheets or other materials in direct contact with the patient. When occlusive dressings are to be applied to areas previously exposed to CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application, ensure that there is no excess of product before applying the dressing.
  • For external use only on healthy skin.
  • CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application contains chlorhexidineChlorhexidine is known to induce hypersensitivity, including generalized allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock. The prevalence of hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine is not known, but the existing literature suggests that it is probably very rare. CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application should not be administered to anyone with a history of allergy to a compound containing chlorhexidine.
  • The solution is irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes. It should therefore be kept away from these areas. If the solution comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
  • Do not use on open skin wounds. Do not use on skin with lesions or cuts. In addition, direct contact with nerve tissue or the middle ear should be avoided.
  • Prolonged skin contact with solutions containing alcohol should be avoided.
  • It is important to ensure that the recommended method of application is strictly followed (see section Dosage and method of administration above). If the solution is applied too vigorously to very fragile or sensitive skin, or if used repeatedly, a local skin reaction may occur: erythema or inflammation, pruritus, dry and / or flaky skin and pain in the chest area. site. At the first signs of a local skin reaction, stop applying CHLORAPREP, solution for skin application.
  • Anaphylactic reactions during anesthesia.
  • Products containing chlorexhidine are known causes of anaphylactic reactions during anesthesia.
  • Symptoms of anaphylactic reactions may be masked in the anesthetized patient. For example, a significant portion of the skin may be covered or the patient is unable to communicate early symptoms.
  • If symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction are detected during anesthesia (eg sudden drop in blood pressure, hives, angioedema), an allergic reaction associated with chlorexhidine should be considered. When an allergic reaction associated with chlorhexidine during anesthesia is suspected, other products containing chlorhexidine and used during anesthesia (eg IV lines) should be removed. Special care should be taken to avoid exposure of patients to any other product containing chlorhexidine during treatment.

Pediatric population

  • The use of chlorhexidine solutions, alcoholic and aqueous, for antisepsis of the skin before invasive procedures has been associated with chemical burns in newborns. Based on available case reports and published literature, this risk appears to be higher in premature infants, especially those born before 32 weeks of pregnancy, and in the first 2 weeks of life.
