Uses For disopyramide

Disopyramide is used to treat abnormal heart rhythms.

It is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Before Using disopyramide

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 disopyramide, the following should be considered:

Allergies

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

disopyramide has been tested in children and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.

Geriatric

Some side effects, such as difficult urination and dry mouth, may be especially likely to occur in elderly patients, who are usually more sensitive than younger adults to the effects of disopyramide.

Pregnancy

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 disopyramide. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)—Disopyramide may cause low blood sugar

• Difficult urination or


• Enlarged prostate—Disopyramide may cause difficult urination

• Electrolyte disorders—Disopyramide may worsen heart rhythm problems

• Glaucoma (history of) or


• Myasthenia gravis—Disopyramide may aggravate these conditions

• Liver disease—Effects may be increased because of slower removal of disopyramide from the body

• Low blood pressure or


• Other heart disorders—Effects of disopyramide on the heart may make these conditions worse

• Malnutrition, long term—Disopyramide may cause low blood sugar

Proper Use of disopyramide

Take disopyramide exactly as directed by your doctor even though you may feel well. Do not take more medicine than ordered.

For patients taking the extended-release capsules :

• Swallow the capsule whole without breaking, crushing, or chewing.

For patients taking the extended-release tablets:

• Do not crush or chew the tablet.

disopyramide works best when there is a constant amount in the blood. To help keep the amount constant, do not miss any doses. Also, it is best to take the doses at evenly spaced times day and night. For example, if you are to take four doses a day, the doses should be spaced about 6 hours apart. If this interferes with your sleep or other daily activities, or if you need help in planning the best times to take your medicine, check with your health care professional.

Dosing

The dose of disopyramide 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 disopyramide. 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 treatment of arrhythmias:
  
  • For short-acting oral dosage form (capsules):
    
    • Adults—100 to 150 mg taken every six to eight hours.
    
    
    • Children—Dose is based on body weight and age and must be determined by your doctor. The dose is usually 6 to 30 mg per kilogram (kg) (2.73 to 13.64 mg per pound) of body weight per day. This dose is evenly divided and taken every six hours.
    
    
  
  
  • For long-acting oral dosage forms (extended-release capsules or tablets):
    
    • Adults—200 or 400 mg every twelve hours.
    
    
    • Children—Use is not recommended.
    
    
  
  

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of disopyramide, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, 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.

Precautions While Using disopyramide

Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits to make sure the medicine is working properly.

Do not stop taking disopyramide without first checking with your doctor. Stopping suddenly may cause a serious change in heart function .

Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up from a lying or sitting position. This is due to lowered blood pressure. Getting up slowly may help. This effect does not occur often at doses of disopyramide usually used; however, make sure you know how you react to disopyramide before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert. If the problem continues or gets worse, check with your doctor.

Disopyramide may rarely cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in some people. (See the Side Effects of disopyramide section below.) If these signs appear, eat or drink a food containing sugar and call your doctor right away.

disopyramide may cause blurred vision or other vision problems. If any of these occur, do not drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not able to see well.

Disopyramide may cause dryness of the eyes, mouth, and nose. For temporary relief of mouth dryness, use sugarless candy or gum, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if dry mouth continues for more than 2 weeks, check with your medical doctor or dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and oral yeast infections.

disopyramide often will make you sweat less, allowing your body temperature to increase. Use extra care not to become overheated during exercise or hot weather while you are taking disopyramide, since becoming overheated could possibly result in heatstroke.

Broncho Saline inhalation

Generic Name: sodium chloride (inhalation) (SOE dee um KLOR ide)

Brand Names: Broncho Saline, Hyper-Sal, Sodium Chloride, Inhalation

What is Broncho Saline (sodium chloride (inhalation))?

Sodium chloride is the chemical name for salt. Sodium chloride can reduce some types of bacteria in certain body secretions, such as saliva.

Sodium chloride inhalation is used to produce sputum (mucus, or phlegm) from the mouth in order to collect it for medical testing. This medication may also be used to dilute other medications inhaled through a nebulizer.

Sodium chloride inhalation may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Broncho Saline (sodium chloride (inhalation))?

Before using sodium chloride inhalation, tell your doctor if you have asthma, congestive heart failure, heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, kidney or liver disease, migraine headaches, any type of edema (swelling), if you have recently had surgery, or if you are on a low-salt diet.

Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially potassium supplements, diuretics, steroids, blood pressure medications, or medications that contain sodium (such as Alka-Seltzer or Zegrid).

Tell your caregivers at once if you have a serious side effect such as chest pain, trouble breathing, swelling in your hands or feet, feeling like you might pass out, tired feeling, muscle twitching, confusion, uneven heart rate, extreme thirst, increased or decreased urination, leg discomfort, muscle weakness or limp feeling.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before using Broncho Saline (sodium chloride (inhalation))?

You should not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to sodium chloride inhalation.

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

• 
  

  asthma;

  
  


• 
  

  congestive heart failure;

  
  


• 
  

  heart disease or high blood pressure;

  
  


• 
  

  epilepsy;

  
  


• 
  

  kidney or liver disease;

  
  


• 
  

  migraine headaches;

  
  


• 
  

  any type of edema (swelling);

  
  


• 
  

  if you have recently had surgery; or

  
  


• 
  

  if you are on a low-salt diet.

  
  

FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether sodium chloride inhalation is harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether sodium chloride inhalation 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.

How is sodium chloride inhalation given?

Use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Sodium chloride inhalation is given using a nebulizer. You will inhale the medication through a face mask, mouth piece, or other device connected to the nebulizer.

Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider can show you how to properly use the nebulizer.

Sodium chloride is a liquid that is placed into the medication chamber of the nebulizer. A mouthpiece or face mask is then attached to the drug chamber, along with an air compressor.

To prepare for inhaling sodium chloride through a nebulizer, you may be given another inhaled medication to prevent bronchospasm (muscle contractions within the airways of the lungs). Your doctor may also ask you to blow your nose, rinse your mouth with water, or wipe the inside of your mouth with a tissue. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully for best results.

In most cases, you will use this medication while you are sitting upright in a comfortable position. Breathe slowly and evenly while you are using the mask, mouthpiece, or other breathing device. You may also be given a nose clip to wear that will close your nasal passages so that you inhale only through your mouth.

If you are using this medication as part of a sputum test, you will need to spit about every 5 minutes or as directed by your healthcare provider. Cough deeply from your chest to produce an optimal specimen for testing.

Continue breathing through the nebulizer for as long as directed by your doctor. Once you have completed the inhalation for the prescribed amount of time, throw away any liquid that is left in the medicine chamber. Do not save it for later use.

If you store sodium chloride at home, keep it at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since sodium chloride inhalation is sometimes used only as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Tell your caregivers at once if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Overdose symptoms may include increased thirst, drowsiness, restless feeling, confusion, muscle pain or weakness, nausea, vomiting, increased urination, fast heart rate, fainting, and seizure (convulsions).

What should I avoid after receiving Broncho Saline (sodium chloride (inhalation))?

Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity after using sodium chloride inhalation.

Broncho Saline (sodium chloride (inhalation)) side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Tell your caregivers at once if you have a serious side effect such as:

• 
  

  chest pain, trouble breathing;

  
  


• 
  

  feeling like you might pass out;

  
  


• 
  

  swelling in your hands or feet;

  
  


• 
  

  tired feeling, muscle twitching;

  
  


• 
  

  confusion, uneven heart rate, extreme thirst, increased or decreased urination, leg discomfort, muscle weakness or limp feeling.

  
  

Less serious side effects may include a salty taste or slight burning or irritation in your mouth.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What other drugs will affect Broncho Saline (sodium chloride (inhalation))?

Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially:

• 
  

  potassium supplements;

  
  


• 
  

  a diuretic (water pill);

  
  


• 
  

  a steroid such as prednisone, fluticasone (Advair), mometasone (Asmanex, Nasonex), dexamethasone (Decadron, Hexadrol) and others;

  
  


• 
  

  blood pressure medications; or
