What is Rynatan Pediatric (chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine)?

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.


Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine is used to treat symptoms of the common cold or seasonal allergies, including sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and itchy, watery eyes.


Chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Rynatan Pediatric (chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine)?


There are many brands and forms of this medication available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Do not use chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. You should not use this medication if you are allergic to chlorpheniramine or phenylephrine, or if you have severe high blood pressure or coronary artery disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, a stomach ulcer, or if you are unable to urinate.

Do not use this medication during an asthma attack.


This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine. Older adults may be more likely to have side effects from this medicine. Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children.

Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Rynatan Pediatric (chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine)?


Do not use chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. You should not use this medication if you are allergic to chlorpheniramine or phenylephrine, or if you have:

  • severe or uncontrolled high blood pressure;




  • severe coronary artery disease;




  • narrow angle glaucoma;

Artificially sweetened liquid cold medicine may contain phenylalanine. If you have phenylketonuria (PKU), check the medication label to see if the product contains phenylalanine.


How should I take Rynatan Pediatric (chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine)?


Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Cold medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release tablet or capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.

The chewable tablet must be chewed before swallowing.


Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.


Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.


This medication can cause unusual results with allergy skin tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking an antihistamine.


If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken a cold medicine within the past few days.


Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since cold medicine is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Overdose symptoms may include some of the serious side effects listed in this medication guide.


What should I avoid while taking Rynatan Pediatric (chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine)?


This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, or sleep medicine. Chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains an antihistamine or decongestant.

Avoid taking this medication if you also take diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications). Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.

Recal D



calcium carbonate, cholecalciferol, magnesium oxide, boric acid, folic acid, pyridoxine hydrochloride and cyanocobalamin

Dosage Form: chewable wafer
Recal D WAFERS CHEWABLE WAFERS

INDICATIONS AND USAGE:


Recal D Wafers are indicated to help, along with diet, the treatment of calcium deficiency, skeletal weakness and osteoporosis. Recal D Wafers supplementation may be beneficial to individuals who have an insufficient dietary intake of the nutrients in this formulation. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation may be useful in both preventing and treating osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial to those who are institutionalized and/or have reduced exposure to sunlight. Folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering blood levels of homocysteine. If dietary intake of calcium is inadequate, patients currently taking bisphosphonates for osteoporosis treatment should be instructed to take calcium and vitamin D daily.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:


Chew one wafer twice daily or as prescribed by a physician.

DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS:


Recal D Wafers are supplied in bottles of 60 wafers, NDC 68032-270-60 and are brown, round shaped wafers, debossed on scored side with “RE 270.”



CONTRAINDICATIONS:


Recal D Wafers are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is contraindicated in those with hypercalcemia or conditions that may lead to hypercalcemia and those who form calcium containing stones are generally advised not to take supplemental calcium. Used together, iron and calcium may inhibit the absorption of iron. Concurrent use of quinolones or tetracyclines with calcium may decrease the absorption of these medications. Folic acid is contraindicated in patients with untreated and uncomplicated pernicious anemia, and in those with anaphylactic sensitivity to folic acid. The use of folic acid doses above one milligram per day may precipitate or exacerbate the neurological damage of vitamin B12 deficiency. High doses of folic acid may result in decreased serum levels of the anticonvulsant drugs: carbamazepine, fosphenytoin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproic acid.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:


Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Folic acid, especially in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission may occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.

ADVERSE REACTIONS:


Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals, but generally at levels substantially higher than those in Recal D Wafers. However, allergic and/or idiosyncratic reactions to vitamins even at lower potencies or any ingredient are possible.


Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

DRUG INTERACTIONS:


As little as 5 mg of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) daily can decrease the efficacy of levodopa. Recal D Wafers are not recommended for patients undergoing levodopa therapy.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS:


Pregnancy: Under the supervision of a physician only.

Pediatric Use: Not recommended for pediatric use.

DESCRIPTION:


Recal D Wafers are a chewable calcium and folic acid formula with Vitamin D, magnesium and other nutrients to help, along with diet, the treatment of calcium deficiency, skeletal weakness and osteoporosis. Recal D Wafers supplementation may be beneficial to individuals who have an insufficient dietary intake of the nutrients in this formulation. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation may be useful in both preventing and treating osteoporosis.
