LOPERAMIDE TABLET USE

LOPERAMIDE TABLET USE

Loperamide should not be used when inhibition of peristalsis is to be avoided due to the possible risk of significant sequelae including ileus, megacolon and toxic megacolon. Loperamide must be discontinued promptly when constipation, abdominal distension or ileus develop.



Common questions about ImodiumHere are answers to some frequently asked questions about Imodium.What should I not take with Imodium?Because of possible drug interactions, you should avoid taking certain other medications with Imodium. However, there aren’t any foods, vitamins, herbs, or supplements known to interact with Imodium.Different interactions can cause different effects. For instance, some interactions can interfere with how well a drug works. Other interactions can increase side effects or make them more severe.To see a list of drugs that may interact with Imodium, see the “Imodium interactions” section below.Can Imodium make you feel ‘high’?No, taking Imodium at the recommended dosage to treat diarrhea won’t make you feel “high.” At this dosage, Imodium doesn’t affect your brain. Instead, it only works inside your intestine.However, Imodium’s chemical structure is similar to that of opioids, such as morphine and heroin. If it’s misused and taken in extremely large doses, Imodium can affect your brain. And if it enters your brain, it may make you feel high.Some people misuse Imodium in this way to make themselves feel high. But you shouldn’t misuse Imodium, because doing so can have serious effects on your heart. (See the following question for more details).If you have questions about how Imodium may affect you, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.Is misusing Imodium dangerous?Yes, misusing Imodium can be very dangerous. (Misuse is also sometimes called abuse.)In fact, misusing Imodium can cause serious heart problems, such as an irregular heartbeat or heart attack. It can also cause loss of consciousness and slow, weak breathing. And it can sometimes even lead to death.Because of these risks, you should never take more Imodium than the dosage that’s recommended on the product labeling or by your doctor. If you have questions about the correct dosage for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist.What should I do if I’m still having diarrhea after taking Imodium?If you’re still having diarrhea after your first dose of Imodium, take another dose after each loose stool that follows. But only take doses up to the maximum daily dose. For more information about this, see the “Imodium dosage” section above.If you still have diarrhea after using Imodium for 2 days (48 hours), see your doctor. Your doctor may order certain tests to see what’s causing your diarrhea. And they may recommend a treatment other than Imodium, depending on the results of those tests.Will I be able to poop after I take Imodium?Yes, you should be able to. Imodium slows down the contractions in your intestine so that you pass firmer stools less often. But usually, the drug doesn’t completely stop you from having bowel movements.According to Imodium’s manufacturer, in clinical studies constipation occurred in less than 3% of people who took the drug. To read more about constipation with Imodium, see the “Imodium side effects” section below.If you’re concerned about not having bowel movements while you’re taking Imodium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.Is Imodium safe to use?Yes, Imodium is generally considered to be a very safe drug when it’s taken correctly. (This means it’s taken according to the instructions on its product label or as instructed by your doctor.)To read about the possible side effects of Imodium, see the “Imodium side effects” section below.Is Imodium gluten free?It’s not known for sure. The manufacturer of Imodium hasn’t specified whether the drug is gluten free.Imodium is available in four different products:Imodium A-D oral solution, which is a liquidImodium A-D caplets, which are capsule-shaped tabletsImodium A-D softgels, which are liquid-filled capsulesImodium Multi-Symptom relief caplets, which are capsule-shaped tabletsGluten isn’t listed as an inactive ingredient for any forms of Imodium. (Inactive ingredients are ingredients in a medication that don’t affect how it works. Examples include ingredients added for coloring or flavoring.)However, it’s possible that Imodium is made in a facility that also makes products that contain gluten. In this case, the manufacturer can’t guarantee that Imodium products aren’t contaminated with gluten.If you have celiac disease or another condition that makes your body sensitive to gluten, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They can advise if Imodium is safe for you to take. They may also recommend a gluten-free product for your condition

.If I have diarrhea from other drugs, such as metformin, can I take Imodium?Yes, it’s possible. If your doctor says it’s safe, you may be able to take Imodium for diarrhea that’s caused by other drugs. This includes metformin (Fortamet, Glumetza, Riomet), which is used to treat diabetes.However, before taking Imodium for this purpose, talk with your doctor. 

This is because, in certain situations, it’s not appropriate to self-treat diarrhea with Imodium.Your doctor may suggest different ways to treat diarrhea that’s caused by other drugs. For example, for metformin, it’s recommended that you take it with food to lessen diarrhea. Your doctor may also adjust your metformin dosage

.Before taking Imodium with other drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They can advise if it’s safe for you to take Imodium. Or they may suggest alternative treatments.



Because of possible drug interactions, you should avoid taking certain other medications with Imodium. However, there aren’t any foods, vitamins, herbs, or supplements known to interact with Imodium.



Frequently asked questions for LoperamideLoperamideQ. Is Loperamide safe?Loperamide is relatively safe if used as recommended. 

In case of any side effects, consult your doctor.Q. What is Loperamide used for?Loperamide is used for treating short-term or long-term diarrhea, with or without any associated disease.Q. Can Loperamide be used for IBS?Loperamide may be used in few cases of IBS but please consult your doctor before its use.Q. Can I take Loperamide with antibiotics, paracetamol, ibuprofen, omeprazole, ciprofloxacin, desmopressin, ritonavir, quinidine or cotrimoxazole?Loperamide may be taken simultaneously with antibiotics, paracetamol, ibuprofen, omiprazole or ciprofloxacin. Loperamide might interact with desmopressin, ritonavir, quinidine or cotrimoxazole. Please consult your doctor before useQ. Does Loperamide help in opiate withdrawal?Loperamide is used in higher doses as a part of opiate withdrawal process. However, do consult your doctor regarding the same.Q. Is Loperamide addictive?No, Loperamide is a safe and non-addictive anti-diarrheal drug.Q. Can Loperamide be used for stomach cramps, nausea, stomach flu, rota virus diarrhea and gas?Loperamide may benefit few cases of stomach cramps or nausea associated with diarrhea.

 It is sometimes used for stomach flu, rota virus diarrhea. It is not used for gas. Please consult your doctor before taking the drug.Q. Can I take Loperamide with cimetidine?Cimetidine can decrease the metabolism of Loperamide, increase its blood levels and hence, increase its effects and side effects. Your dose of Loperamide may needs to be decreased. Consult your doctor prior to taking both the drugs together.

The 13 included trials studied 1,788 children younger than 12 y: 975 children assigned to loperamide and 813 assigned to placebo. Of the 13 studies, six studies used loperamide doses ≤0.25 mg/kg/d, four studies used doses >0.25 mg/kg/d, and three studies used unclear maximum doses (Table 1).

Loperamide is approved to help control symptoms of diarrhea, including Travelers’ Diarrhea. The maximum approved daily dose for adults is 8 mg per day for OTC use and 16 mg per day for prescription use. It is sold under the OTC brand name Imodium A-D, as store brands, and as generics.

Non-clinical data have shown that loperamide is a P-glycoprotein substrate. Concomitant administration of loperamide (16 mg single dose) with quinidine, or ritonavir, which are both P-glycoprotein inhibitors, resulted in a 2 to 3-fold increase in loperamide plasma levels. The clinical relevance of this pharmacokinetic interaction with P-glycoprotein inhibitors, when loperamide is given at recommended dosages, is unknown. The concomitant administration of loperamide (4 mg single dose) and itraconazole, an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, resulted in a 3 to 4-fold increase in loperamide plasma concentrations. In the same study a CYP2C8 inhibitor, 

gemfibrozil, increased loperamide by approximately 2-fold. The combination of itraconazole and gemfibrozil resulted in a 4-fold increase in peak plasma levels of loperamide and a 13-fold increase in total plasma exposure. These increases were not associated with central nervous system (CNS) effects as measured by psychomotor tests (i.e. subjective drowsiness and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test). The concomitant administration of loperamide (16 mg single dose) and ketoconazole, an inhibitor of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, resulted in a 5-fold increase in loperamide plasma concentrations. 

This increase was not associated with increased pharmacodynamic effects as measured by pupillometry. Concomitant treatment with oral desmopressin resulted in a 3-fold increase of desmopressin plasma concentrations, presumably due to slower gastrointestinal motility. It is expected that drugs with similar pharmacological properties may potentiate loperamide's effect and that drugs that accelerate gastrointestinal transit may decrease its effect.

Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's may pass into the breast milk; hence breastfeeding mothers need to seek medical advice before starting Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's.



Use of gelling agents such as carrageenan and Gellan gum delays HPMC cell dissolution. Improved HPMC versions are available which do not require a secondary gelling agent (e.g., VCaps). HPMC dissolution and disintegration time is usually longer than that of hard gelatin capsules. 

Gelling agents may interact with cations in dissociating medium such as potassium and calcium ions. However, dissolution of improved newer versions of HPMC capsules is independent of pH and the ionic nature of dissociating medium.



What happens if I miss a dose?If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.



Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. 

Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's reduces the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increases the ‘good’ cholesterol by blocking our body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood. Cholecalciferol is added to relieve the muscle pain caused due to atorvastatin. Collectively, Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.

Regarding the vegetarian versus nonvegetarian issue, defining vegetarian is a difficult issue, with special reference to variation among different religious beliefs present. Many a times, manufacturing of drugs requires different reagents of animal origin. Again, different drug products are also of nonvegetarian origin, for example, hormonal products, heparin, insulin, antiserum, and human cell line-derived products. Involvement of all these complicated issues makes determination of vegetarian and nonvegetarian capsules complicated. Again, this will create chaos between patients and doctors regarding the prescription of vegetarian versus nonvegetarian capsules. Scientific and manufacturing advantages can guide in this issue. On the ethical basis, representation says that gelatin-based capsules should be allowed to be marketed without any additional labeling. “Some members also pointed out that HPMC – a type of cellulose capsules – is basically of synthetic origin and as such cannot be considered as purely of vegetarian origin as in the case of food preparations,” the minutes noted. The DTAB's decision is in line with the 2013 Supreme Court decision which stated that cosmetics and drugs cannot be treated at par with food articles, when it comes to labeling them with a brown or a green mark to distinguish the vegetarian and nonvegetarian ingredients and hence, we are with the decision of the Supreme Court.

Capsule, a form of dosage form in medication, are common in our day-to-day health management. Capsules are made up of gelatin (hard or soft) and nongelatin shells generally derived from hydrolysis of collagen (acid, alkaline, enzymatic, or thermal hydrolysis) from animal origin or cellulose based. However, currently, an issue of vegetarian and nonvegetarian capsules is coming up. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has invited comments from different stakeholders regarding this.

FAQsExpand AllHow does Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's work?Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's is a dietary supplement that treats low levels of calcium in the blood. It consists of Calcium, Calcitriol, and Menaquinone. Calcium is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. 

Calcitriol, a synthetic form of Vitamin D3, treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the decreased activity of the parathyroid glands). Menaquinone (Vitamin K2) maintains bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.What happens if I miss a dose?If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.Can I take Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's with milk?Milk is considered to be the best source of calcium. You can take Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's with milk.Does Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's cause kidney stones?Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's can cause kidney stones due to excess calcium deposition when used for a prolonged period. Please consult your doctor before taking Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's as a daily supplement if you have any kidney problems or a history of kidney stones.Can I take Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's if I suffer from hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood)?Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence it is not advised to use Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's during hypercalcemia, since it causes the overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.Can I take Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's if I am undergoing dialysis?Calcitriol in Gemsoline Softgel Capsule 15's can increase inorganic phosphate levels in serum; hence it should be cautiously used in patients undergoing dialysis to maintain adequate phosphorus levels and avoid ectopic calcification (calcium deposition). It is advised to follow a low phosphate diet to control serum phosphorus levels in patients undergoing dialysis.

Manufacturing and priceGelatin capsules are being used worldwide for the past 100 years with known safety and toxicity profile. Gelatin is easily available from hydrolysis of collagen whereas manufacturing of HPMC is a synthetic process.

 Raw materials for gelatin are readily available in the market which can fulfill the requirement of industries in India whereas raw materials for non-gelatin are quite less available and hence they are four times costlier than their gelatin counterpart. Moreover, most of the vegetable capsule shell technologies are in patent period, contributing to the cost component of these capsule shells.

The observations of Cole et al., 2004, describe that there is very little difference between HPMC capsules and conventional hard gelatin shells' in vivo and in vitro kinetic characteristics which is supported by Tuleu et al., 2007. Dissolution of both types of capsule shell was similar in water, whereas acidic environment (pH 1.2) and cations (K+/PO4 buffer) hinder HPMC capsule shell opening. Despite difference, there was no significant difference observed in terms of pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax and area under the curve. However, individuals fasted had lower mean disintegration time in case of gelatin capsules, compared to HPMC shells.

Both hard and soft capsule shells can be prepared from gelatin. Presence of 12%–16% moisture is essential for maintaining the integrity of gelatin hard capsule shell. Plasticizers, especially nonvolatile plasticizers, are used in the manufacturing of soft shells. These plasticizers reduce interaction between protein molecules and allow retention of moisture by gelatin. Glycerol and sorbitol are used commonly, but sorbitol is associated with blooming (crystallization), when stored at low humid temperature

. Hence, glycerol is blended with sorbitol. Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) can also be used.

A: Milk, curd, cheese, paneer and other dairy products, chinese cabbage, kale, broccoli and milk products. Zinc is found in beans, nuts, certain types of seafood (such as crab and lobster), whole grains, etc.

Will Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's reduce my fertility?There's no strong evidence to suggest that taking Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's will reduce fertility in either men or women. However, it is advisable to consult a doctor before taking it if you're likely to get pregnant or pregnant.Is there any lifestyle help for reducing bad cholesterol in our blood?Increase your daily diet with fiber, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish, and cut saturated fat as well. Stop smoking and drinking and try to work out every day as well.

Can I stop taking Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's without the doctor's advice?No, you should not stop taking Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's without consulting your doctor. Please take advice from the doctor before quitting.In which condition should I not take Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's?People affected with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), muscle weakness, joint pain, kidney disease, diabetes, liver disease, uncontrolled epilepsy, high or low potassium level, or severely low blood pressure.Can intake of Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's harm my baby in the pregnancy stage?There is no firm clinical evidence stating that an intake of Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's causes harm to the baby. However, Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's passes into the breast milk and may harm the baby.

 It is advisable to consult a doctor if you are a nursing mother and taking Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's.Can Yoghurt lower cholesterol?Yogurt is a probiotic which can help in lowering the raised cholesterol level if taken with Gemsoline-D3 60K Soft Gelatin Capsule 4's. Yogurt eaters have a better metabolic profile than those who didn't eat yogurt.Are eggs bad for cholesterol?Egg yolks (yellow part of the egg) are high in cholesterol and rich in saturated fatty acids with a greater effect on our blood cholesterol levels. However, you can take a minimum of 3 whole eggs per day as eggs are considered a good source of HDL (good cholesterol). 

If you have high cholesterol, please consult a doctor regarding intake of the yolk part of the egg.

ITRACONAZOLE CAPSULE USE

ITRACONAZOLE CAPSULES USE

Solution formulation. Most studies examining the efficacy of itraconazole solution have been in patients with impaired immunity. 13,55,56,57,58,59,60,61 Two large comparative studies with fluconazole (Table III) were in HIV-positive patients with oral (n = 244),57 or oropharyngeal (n = 190)58 candidosis: 14 days of itraconazole solution was at least as effective as fluconazole in effecting a clinical response (≥87%). In a further study of 126 immunocompromised patients with oesophageal candidosis, itraconazole solution and fluconazole led to a clinical response in 94% and 91% of cases, respectively.60 A comparative study examining the prophylactic use of itraconazole solution and fluconazole in 445 patients who were expected to be neutropenic following chemotherapy demonstrated that both agents prevent fungal infections in most cases (>97%).59

Peak plasma concentrations of itraconazole are reached within 2 to 5 hours following oral administration. As a consequence of non-linear pharmacokinetics, itraconazole accumulates in plasma during multiple dosing. Steady-state concentrations are generally reached within about 15 days, with Cmax values of 0.5 μg/mL, 1.1 μg/mL and 2.0 μg/mL after oral administration of 100 mg once daily, 200 mg once daily and 200 mg b.i.d., respectively. The terminal half-life of itraconazole generally ranges from 16 to 28 hours after single dose and increases to 34 to 42 hours with repeated dosing. Once treatment is stopped, itraconazole plasma concentrations decrease to an almost undetectable concentration within 7 to 14 days, depending on the dose and duration of treatment. Itraconazole mean total plasma clearance following intravenous administration is 278 mL/min. Itraconazole clearance decreases at higher doses due to saturable hepatic metabolism.



Its use in dogs, small mammals, and some exotics to treat fungal infections is 'off label' or 'extra label'. Use of the human version of this drug is 'off label' or 'extra label' in both cats and dogs. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.



It has been experimentally demonstrated that as the pellets in each unit increase, the dissolution rate also increases. Pellet number within a capsule would directly depend on the pellet size and determines the surface area presented for absorption in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Thus, smaller pellets would result in larger pellet numbers as seen in our analysis (r = −0.848, P < 0.0001). On the same lines, we observed a significant difference (with P < 0.0001) in average pellet size of brands with >500 pellets versus those with <300 pellets, with significantly smaller pellets in the former . A similar statistically significant difference was also found in the average sizes of pellets among the brands with 300–500 pellets and those with <300 pellets. Brands 7 and 16 had unusually big pellets (1571 and 1845 μm) leading to very low pellet counts of 121 and 135, respectively.



Itraconazole was found to cause a dose-related increase in maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity, and teratogenicity in rats at dosage levels of approximately 40-160 mg/kg/day (5-20 times the MRHD), and in mice at dosage levels of approximately 80 mg/kg/day (10 times the MRHD). Itraconazole has been shown to cross the placenta in a rat model. In rats, the teratogenicity consisted of major skeletal defects; in mice, it consisted of encephaloceles and/or macroglossia.

If you suspect an overdose or an adverse reaction to the medication, call your veterinary office immediately. If they are not available, follow their directions in contacting an emergency facility.

This drug may make you dizzy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis). Alcohol may also increase the risk of serious liver problems.

ITRACONAZOLE belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals used to treat fungal infections of the mouth, throat, toenails, fingernails or lungs. Fungal infection is a disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

As per the cost, nine brands had a per-capsule price of more than Rs. 20 rupees, whereas 11 were between Rs. 10 and 20 and only 2 below Rs. 10. Considering a dosage of 100 mg once a day, the cost of a standard 15 day treatment would fall between Rs. 180 and Rs 1215. And the treatment dosages and durations being given by many are much higher than the approved doses. Furthermore, use of 200 mg and higher dose capsule formulations (amply available in the Indian market) in this regard may produce suboptimal response. This is because keeping the same pellet size and technology, a 200-mg drug load formulation would require a much larger capsule size. The change in pellet size by altering the drug–polymer ratio or removing PEG 20000 layer leads to instable formulations with a negative impact on bioavailability.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Special patient populations. The volume of distribution and clearance of fluconazole are greater in children than in adults;19 a relatively high mg/kg dose of fluconazole is therefore necessary in young patients. For those aged greater than 4 weeks, once daily dosing is appropriate. Neonates (aged ≤4 weeks) excrete fluconazole slowly, and less frequent dosing is therefore desirable. 19,20 The pharmacokinetics of fluconazole in the elderly are similar to those in non-elderly adults.15 Immune status has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole in either adultsor children. 7,21,22

Itraconazole showed no evidence of carcinogenicity potential in mice treated orally for 23 months at dosage levels up to 80 mg/kg/day (approximately 10 times the maximum recommended human dose ). Male rats treated with 25 mg/kg/day (3.1 times the MRHD) had a slightly increased incidence of soft tissue sarcoma. These sarcomas may have been a consequence of hypercholesterolemia, which is a response of rats, but not dogs or humans, to chronic itraconazole administration. Female rats treated with 50 mg/kg/day (6.25 times the MRHD) had an increased incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (2/50) as compared to the untreated group. Although the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma in the lung is extremely uncommon in untreated rats, the increase in this study was not statistically significant.

You may get drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how the medicine affects you. Do not stand or sit up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells.

Kan ik zomaar stoppen met Ciprofloxacine (als Hydrochloride-1-Water)? Als u stopt heeft u kans dat niet alle bacteriën verdwenen zijn. De infectie blijft dan bestaan of keert terug. Maak dus altijd de kuur af, volgens de aanwijzingen van uw arts.Als u allergische reacties of ernstige bijwerkingen krijgt, moet u wel stoppen. Neem in dat geval direct contact op met uw arts.



Ciprofloxacine is een geneesmiddel behorend tot de groep chinolon-antibiotica dat ervoor zorgt dat bacteriën die infecties veroorzaken, gedood worden. Ciprofloxacine is een antibioticum dat gebruikt kan worden bij veel verschillende infecties, zoals infecties van de longen, bijholtes, het middenoor, de blaas, maag- en darminfecties met ernstige diarree, geslachtsziekten en hersenvliesontsteking.

Will it affect my contraception? Ciprofloxacin does not affect any type of contraception, including the combined pill and emergency contraception.But if ciprofloxacin makes you sick (vomit) or have severe diarrhoea for more than 24 hours, your contraceptive pills may not protect you from pregnancy.Look on the pill packet to find out what to do.Find out what to do if you're on the pill and you're being sick or have diarrhoea.

It comes as tablets, a liquid that you drink, eardrops, eyedrops and an eye ointment. It's also given by injection, but this is usually done in hospital.

Carry on taking ciprofloxacin until you've completed the course, even if you feel better.If you stop your treatment early, the infection could come back. It also gives any remaining bacteria a chance to change or adapt so they are no longer affected by the antibiotic.This is known as antibiotic resistance.

Wanneer?U gebruikt dit medicijn meestal 2 keer, soms 3 keer per dag. Kies hiervoor vaste tijdstippen, dan vergeet u minder snel een dosis.Als u maagdarmklachten krijgt door ciprofloxacine, kunt u de tabletten of de drank het beste innemen vlak na het eten. U heeft er dan minder kans op.Hoelang?De kuurduur hangt af van de plaats en de ernst van de infectie. Normaal gesproken duurt een kuur 3 dagen tot 3 weken. Bij gonorroe en reizigersdiarree kan één dag al voldoende zijn. In uitzonderlijke situaties kan de arts dit medicijn voor een langere periode voorschrijven, tot 3 maanden.

Some infections will take longer to clear, such as bone infections like osteomyelitis. In this case, you should start to feel better after a week or maybe longer.

Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.

Introductie Ciprofloxacine (als Hydrochloride-1-Water) Ciprofloxacine is een chinolon-antibioticum. Chinolon-antibiotica werken tegen infecties met bacteriën.Artsen schrijven het voor bij infecties met bacteriën, zoals:blaasontsteking;luchtweginfecties, zoals longontsteking, acute bronchitis, ontsteking van de bijholten (sinusitis), tuberculose, veteranenziekte en bij luchtweginfecties door cystische fibrose;middenoorontsteking en gehoorgangontsteking;hersenvliesontsteking;beenmergontsteking;huidinfecties;geslachtsziekten (SOA), zoals gonorroe;infecties van het maagdarmkanaal, zoals ernstige diarree en buiktyfus.

Bij intraveneuze toediening kunnen bij subgroepen van patiënten sommige bijwerkingen met een hogere frequentie voorkomen (o.a. epileptische aanvallen, tachycardie, hypotensie, nierfalen, tijdelijk gestoorde leverfunctie incl. afwijkingen in de transaminasen, anafylactische reacties, beenmergdepressie, pancreatitis, visus en/of gehoorstoornissen en peesruptuur).

24 March 2019 Heb begin 2017 diverse kuren achter elkaar moeten slikken en kreeg gigantische haaruitval, slapeloosheid, stoornissen van hart en bloeddruk, totaal energieloos, bedlegerig, psychoses en zelfmoordneigingen. Najaar 2018 opnieuw en weer dezelfde problemen. Nu was het beiden blaas/niergerelateerd.. dus niet helemaal zeker of het het middel of de kwaal was.

 Maar wel vreemd dat je tijdens zo'n kuur opeens vreselijk oedeem in het gezicht krijgt en hartklachten. Die maanden aanhouden. Na de kuur zieker dan ervoor. Schrijf zelf een ervaring over dit medicijn Zoek meer ervaringen met dit medicijn

16 June 2019 Zit op dag drie nu, voel me een beetje alsof ik aan de speed zit en enorme hartkloppingen. Snachts val ik niet in slaap en als het uiteindelijk wel lukt wordt ik badend in het zweet wakker. Snachts ook rare gedachtes, voel me niet helemaal mezelf. Hoop dat het na de kuur gewoon weer over gaat. 

Ik slik het tegen omhoogkomende blaaontsteking, die klachten zijn nu weg dus het helpt wel.. Schrijf zelf een ervaring over dit medicijn Zoek meer ervaringen met dit medicijn

Meerwaardige kat-ionbevattende geneesmiddelen zoals aluminium- of magnesiumbevattende antacida, sucralfaat, calcium-, bismut-, zink- en ijzerzouten en polymere fosfaatbinders (sevelameer, lanthaancarbonaat) verminderen de absorptie van ciprofloxacine; neem ciprofloxacine daarom ten minste 2 uur voor of ten minste 4 uur ná deze middelen in. Melkproducten of met mineralen verrijkte dranken (denk ook aan multivitaminepreparaten) kunnen de absorptie van ciprofloxacine eveneens verminderen.

Kuur van een week 2x 1,5 tablet.
Met name de uren na inname erg vermoeid, duizelig/misselijk, opgeblazen gevoel, zeurende hoofdpijn, spierpijn, zeer slecht en onrustig slapen, rillerig en koorts. Verschilt van moment tot moment. Paracetamol helpt deels.

Ik kreeg zelf het idee dat ik meer lichamelijke problemen had en terug moest naar de huisarts totdat ik hier de gedeelde reacties zag. Geeft iets meer rust. Even door de kuur heen komen!

How should this medicine be used? Ciprofloxacin comes as a tablet, a suspension (liquid), and an extended-release tablet to take by mouth with or without food.

However, you may take ciprofloxacin with a meal that includes these foods or drinks.Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush, or chew them. If you doctor tells you to to split the 250-mg or 500-mg tablet, it may be broken in half along the scored line. Swallow the extended-release tablets whole; do not split, crush, or chew them.

If you are being treated for a urinary tract infection, call your doctor if you develop fever or back pain during or after your treatment. These symptoms may be signs that your infection is worsening.Take ciprofloxacin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better.

Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.Some products that may interact with this drug include: other drugs that may cause kidney problems (including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen).Acyclovir is very similar to valacyclovir. Do not use medications containing valacyclovir while using acyclovir.

Q. What can happen if somebody takes more than the recommended dose of Acyclovir accidentally?Accidental, repeated overdoses of oral Acyclovir over several days have resulted in nausea, vomiting, confusion and headache. 

Consult your doctor in case of overdose.

Patients should be observed closely for signs of toxicity. Haemodialysis significantly enhances the removal of aciclovir from the blood and may, therefore, be considered a management option in the event of symptomatic overdose.

Missed Dose If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Symptoms and signs Aciclovir is only partly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Patients have ingested overdoses of up to 20 g aciclovir on a single occasion, usually without toxic effects. Accidental, repeated overdoses of oral aciclovir over several days have been associated with gastrointestinal effects (eg nausea and vomiting) and neurological effects (eg headache and confusion). Overdosage of i.v. aciclovir has resulted in elevations of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and subsequent renal failure.

 Neurological effects including confusion, hallucinations, agitation, seizures and coma have been described in association with overdosage. Treatment Patients should be observed closely for signs of toxicity. 

Haemodialysis significantly enhances the removal of aciclovir from the blood and may, therefore, be considered a management option in the event of symptomatic overdose.

Before taking acyclovir, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to valacyclovir; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.

This medication may rarely cause a life-threatening disorder that affects the blood cells, kidneys, and other parts of the body. This disorder is more likely to occur if you have conditions related to a weakened immune system (such as HIV disease, bone marrow transplant, kidney transplant). 

Get medical help right away if any of these very serious side effects occur: extreme tiredness, slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, easy bruising/bleeding, new fever, bloody/dark urine, severe stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, sudden vision changes, loss of consciousness, seizures.

Pregnancy The use of aciclovir should be considered only when the potential benefits outweigh the possibility of unknown risks. A post-marketing aciclovir pregnancy registry has documented pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to any formulation of aciclovir. The registry findings have not shown an increase in the number of birth defects amongst aciclovir exposed subjects compared with the general population, and any birth defects showed no uniqueness or consistent pattern to suggest a common cause.

 Systemic administration of aciclovir in internationally accepted standard tests did not produce embryotoxic or teratogenic effects in rabbits, rats or mice. In a non-standard test in rats, foetal abnormalities were observed but only following such high subcutaneous doses that maternal toxicity was produced. 

The clinical relevance of these findings is uncertain. Caution should however be exercised by balancing the potential benefits of treatment against any possible hazard. Findings from reproduction toxicology studies are included in Section 5.3. Breast-feeding Following oral administration of 200mg aciclovir five times a day, aciclovir has been detected in breast milk at concentrations ranging from 0.6 to 4.1 times the corresponding plasma levels. These levels would potentially expose nursing infants to aciclovir dosages of up to 0.3mg/kg/day. Caution is therefore advised if aciclovir is to be administered to a nursing woman. Fertility There is no information on the effect of aciclovir on human female fertility. 

In a study of 20 male patients with normal sperm count, oral aciclovir administered at doses of up to 1g per day for up to six months has been shown to have no clinically significant effect on sperm count, motility or morphology. See clinical studies in section 5.2.

Aciclovir is only partially absorbed from the gut. The average oral bioavailability varies between 10 and 20%. Under fasting conditions, mean peak concentrations (Cmax) of 0.4 microgram/ml are achieved at approximately 1.6 hours after a 200 mg dose administered as oral suspension or capsule. Mean peak plasma concentrations (Cssmax) increase to 0.7 microgram/ml (3.1 micromoles) at steady state following doses of 200 mg administered every four hours. A less than proportional increase is observed for Cssmax concentration following doses of 400 mg and 800 mg administered four-hourly, with values reaching 1.2 and 1.8 microgram/ml (5.3 and 8 micromoles), respectively.

Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished. Do not change your dose, skip any doses, or stop this medication early without your doctor's approval.
