Hematologic System - Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis."],"clinical_pharmacology":["CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Nasal decongestant, antitussive, and antihistaminic actions. Dextromethorphan Tannate: Dextromethorphan Tannate is a nonnarcotic antitussive with effectiveness equal to codeine. It acts in the medulla oblongata to elevate the cough threshold. Dextromethorphan Tannate does not produce analgesia or induce tolerance, and has no potential for addiction. The onset of antitussive action occurs in 15 to 30 minutes after administration and is of long duration. At usual doses, it will not depress respiration nor inhibit ciliary activity. Dextromethorphan Tannate is rapidly metabolized with trace amounts of the parent compound in blood and urine. About one-half of the administered dose is excreted in the urine as conjugated metabolites. Phenylephrine Tannate: Phenylephrine Tannate is a sympathomimetic that acts predominantly on alpha- receptors and has little action on betareceptors. Phenylephrine Tannate causes constriction of blood vessels, which shrinks swollen mucous membranes, reduces tissue hyperemia, edema, and nasal congestion, and increases nasal airway patency. It, therefore, functions as an oral nasal decongestant while causing minimal central nervous system stimulation. Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate: Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate antagonizes the physiological action of histamine by acting as an H1 receptor blocking agent. In vitro and in vivo assays of the antihistamine potencies of the optically active isomers of Chlorpheniramine demonstrate that the predominant activity is in the dextro-isomer. The dextro-isomer is approximately two times more active than the racemic compound."],"contraindications":["CONTRAINDICATIONS Patients with hypersensitivity or idiosyncrasy to any of its ingredients. Do not use in newborn infants, premature infants, in nursing mothers, in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, or in those receiving monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.

Antihistamine overdosage in young children may lead to convulsions and death. Atropine-like signs and symptoms may be prominent. Overdosage of Phenylephrine Tannate may be associated with CNS stimulation, tachycardia, hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias. Dextromethorphan Tannate in toxic doses will cause drowsiness, ataxia, nystagmus, opisthotonos and convulsive seizures. Anticholinergic effects may also occur. Treatment: Induce emesis if patient is alert and is seen prior to 6 hours following ingestion. Precautions against aspiration must be taken, especially in infants and small children. Gastric lavage may be carried out, although in some instances tracheotomy may be necessary prior to lavage. Naloxone 0.005 mg/kg intravenously may be of value in reversing CNS depression that may occur from an overdose of Dextromethorphan Tannate. CNS stimulants may counter CNS depression. Should CNS hyperactivity or convulsive seizures occur, intravenous short-acting barbiturates may be indicated. Stimulants should not be used. Hypertensive responses and/or tachycardia should be treated appropriately. If hypotension is a problem, vasopressor agents may be considered.

Because of its antihistamine component, Dextromethorphan Tannate 30 mg/Phenylephrine Tannate 20 mg/Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2 mg should be used with caution in patients with a history of bronchial asthma, narrow-angle glaucoma, gastrointestinal obstruction, or urinary bladder neck obstruction. Because of its sympathomimetic component, Dextromethorphan Tannate 30 mg/Phenylephrine Tannate 20 mg/Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2 mg should be used with caution in patients with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or thyroid disease. Information for Patients: Patients should be warned about engaging in activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving a car or operating dangerous machinery. Patients should be cautioned to get up slowly from a lying or sitting position and to lie down if nausea occurs. Drug Interactions: Prescribe with caution to patients taking any of the following: Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) inhib itors - Hyperpyrexia, hypotension, and death have been reported coincident with the co-administration of MAO inhibitors and products containing Dextromethorphan Tannate. In addition, MAO inhibitors prolong and intensify the anticholinergic (drying) effects of antihistamines. MAO inhibitors may enhance the effect of Pseudoephedrine and may produce an additive elevation of blood pressure (see WARNINGS). Sympathomimetics - Used concurrently, may increase the effects of Guaifenesin, thereby increasing the potential for side effects. Sympathomimetics may reduce the antihypertensive effects of methyldopa, mecamylamine, reserpine and veratrum alkaloids. Central nervous system (CNS) depressants - Antihistamines have additive effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants (hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers, antianxiety agents, etc.). Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: Animal studies to assess the long-term carcinogenic and mutagenic potential or the effect on fertility in animals or humans have not been performed. Pregnancy, Teratogenic Effects-Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Dextromethorphan Tannate 30 mg/Phenylephrine Tannate 20 mg/Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2 mg. It is also not known whether Dextromethorphan Tannate 30 mg/Phenylephrine Tannate 20 mg/Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2 mg can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.Dextromethorphan Tannate 30 mg/Phenylephrine Tannate 20 mg/Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2 mg should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Nursing Mothers: Because of the higher risk of intolerance of antihistamines in small infants generally, and in newborns and prematures in particular, Dextromethorphan Tannate 30 mg/Phenylephrine Tannate 20 mg/Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2 mg is contraindicated in nursing mothers. Pediatric Use: Not recommended for use in patients under 2 years of age. Geriatric Use: The elderly (60 years of age or older) are more likely to exhibit adverse reactions. Caution should be taken when prescribing this drug to the elderly."],"set_id":"02236a20-937f-45f7-800a-3b528617665f","spl_product_data_elements":["Dextromethorphan Tannate, Phenylephrine Tannate, Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate Dextromethorphan Tannate 30mg, Phenylephrine Tannate 20mg, Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate 2mg DEXTROMETHORPHAN DEXTROMETHORPHAN PHENYLEPHRINE PHENYLEPHRINE DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE"],"version":"5","warnings":["WARNINGS Do not exceed recommended dosage. Patients with persistent cough such as occur with smoking, asthma, emphysema, or where cough is accompanied by excessive secretions should not take this product. A persistent cough may be a sign of a serious condition. If the cough persists for more than 1 week, tends to recur, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache, consult a doctor. Do not take this product if you have chronic pulmonary disease, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, asthma, emphysema, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, or difficulty in urination due to enlargement of the prostate gland unless directed by a physician. Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate should be used with extreme caution in patients with stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction, or bladder neck obstruction. Due to its mild atropine-like action, Dexchlorpheniramine Tannate should be used cautiously in patients with bronchial asthma. Antihistamines may impair mental and physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks, such as driving a car or operating machinery, and may impair mental alertness in children. Antihistamines may cause hyperexcitability, especially in children. At doses higher than the recommended dose, nervousness, dizziness, or sleeplessness may occur. Especially in infants and small children, antihistamines in overdosage may cause hallucinations, convulsions, and death. If nervousness, dizziness, or sleeplessness occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Administration of Dextromethorphan Tannate may be accompanied by histamine release and should be used with caution in atopic children. Hypertensive crises can occur with concurrent use of sympathomimetic amines and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, indomethacin, or with beta-blockers and methyldopa. If a hypertensive crisis occurs, these drugs should be discontinued immediately and therapy to lower blood pressure should be instituted immediately. Fever should be managed by means of external cooling."]}
