Adverse Reactions

Cardiovascula r – rapid pulse, flushing Central Nervous System – blurred vision, dizziness Respiratory – shortness of breath or troubled breathing Genitourinary – difficulty micturition, acute urinary retention Gastrointestinal – dry mouth, nausea/vomiting

Drug Interactions

because of this product's effect on gastrointestinal motility and gastric emptying, it may decrease the absorption of other oral medications during concurrent use such as: urinary alkalizers; thiazide diuretics (may cause the urine to become alkaline reducing the effectiveness of methenamine by inhibiting its conversion to formaldehyde); antimuscarinics (concurrent use may intensify antimuscarinic effects of hyoscyamine because of secondary antimuscarinic activities of these medications); antacids/antidiarrheals (may reduce absorption of hyoscyamine, concurrent use with antacids may cause urine to become alkaline reducing effectiveness of methenamine by inhibiting its conversion to formaldehyde) doses of these medications should be spaced 1 hour apart from doses of hyoscyamine; antimyasthenics (concurrent use with hyoscyamine may further reduce intestinal motility); ketoconazole (patients should be advised to take this combination at least 2 hours after ketoconazole); monoamine oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors (concurrent use may intensify antimuscarinic side effects, opioid (narcotic) analgesics may result in increased risk of severe constipation); sulfonamides (these drugs may precipitate with formaldehyde in the urine, increasing the danger of crystalluria). Patients should be advised that the urine may become blue to blue green and the feces may be discolored as a result of the excretion of methylene blue.

How Supplied

ME/NaPhos/MB/Hyo 1 Tablets are light blue to blue, oval, biconvex tablets debossed with "M455" with scoreline on one side and plain on the other side. Supplied in bottles of 100 tablets (NDC 58657-454-01).

Drug Interactions

cause the urine to become alkaline reducing the

effectiveness of methenamine by inhibiting its

conversion to formaldehyde); antimuscarinics

(concurrent use may intensify antimuscarinic effects of

hyoscyamine because of secondary antimuscarinic

activities of these medications); antacids/antidiarrheals

(may reduce absorption of hyoscyamine, concurrent use

with antacids may cause urine to become alkaline

reducing effectiveness of methenamine by inhibiting its

conversion to formaldehyde) doses of these medications

should be spaced 1 hour apart from doses of

hyoscyamine; antimyasthenics (concurrent use with

hyoscyamine may further reduce intestinal motility);

ketoconazole (patients should be advised to take this

combination at least 2 hours after ketoconazole);

monoamine oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors (concurrent use

may intensify antimuscarinic side effects, opioid

(narcotic) analgesics may result in increased risk of

Warnings

Do not exceed recommended dosage. If rapid pulse,

dizziness, or blurring of vision occurs discontinue use

immediately.

Geriatric

use with caution in elderly patients as they may respond

to usual doses of hyoscyamine with excitement,

agitation, drowsiness, or confusion.

Pediatric

infants and young children are especially susceptible to

the toxic effect of the belladonna alkaloids.

Overdosage

Emesis or gastric lavage. Slow intravenous

administration of physostigmine in doses of 1 mg to

4 mg (0.5 mg to 1 mg in children), repeated as needed

in one to two hours to reverse severe antimuscarinic

symptoms. Administration of small doses of diazepam to

control excitement and seizures. Artificial respiration

with oxygen if needed for respiratory depression.

Adequate hydration. Symptomatic treatment as

necessary.

Precautions

(Pregnancy Category C)

hyoscyamine and methenamine cross the placenta.

Studies have not been done in animals or humans. It is

not known whether ME/NaPhos/MB/Hyo 1

Tablets cause fetal harm when administered to a

pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.

ME/NaPhos/MB/Hyo 1 Tablets should be given to

a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Prolonged Use

there have been no studies to establish the safety of

prolonged use in humans. No known long-term animal

studies have been performed to evaluate carcinogenic

potential.

Breast Feeding

problems in humans have not been documented;

however, methenamine and traces of hyoscyamine are

excreted in breast milk.

Indication and Usage

ME/NaPhos/MB/Hyo 1 Tablets is indicated for the

treatment of symptoms of irritative voiding. Indicated

for the relief of local symptoms, such as hypermotility

which accompany lower urinary tract infections and as

antispasmodic. Indicated for the relief of urinary tract

symptoms caused by diagnostic procedures.

Clinical Pharmacology

HYOSCYAMINE is a parasympatholytic which relaxes

smooth muscles and thus produces an antispasmodic

effect. It is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract

and is rapidly distributed throughout body tissues. Most

is excreted in the urine within 12 hours, 13% to 50%

being unchanged.



Its biotransformation is hepatic. Its protein binding is

moderate.



METHENAMINE degrades in an acidic urine environment

releasing formaldehyde which provides bactericidal or

bacteriostatic action. It is well absorbed from the

gastrointestinal tract. 70% to 90% reaches the urine

unchanged at which point it is hydrolyzed if the urine is

acidic. Within 24 hours it is almost completely (90%)

excreted; of this amount at pH 5, approximately 20% is

formaldehyde. Protein binding: some formaldehyde is

bound to substances in the urine and surrounding

tissues. Methenamine is freely distributed to body tissue

and fluids but is not clinically significant as it does not

hydrolyze at pH greater than 6.8.



METHYLENE BLUE possesses weak antiseptic properties.

It is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and is

rapidly reduced to leukomethylene blue which is

stabilized in some combination form in the urine. 75%

is excreted unchanged.



MONOBASIC SODIUM PHOSPHATE helps to maintain an

acid pH in the urine necessary for the degradation of

methenamine.

Drug Abuse and Dependence

Tablets has not been reported and due to the nature of

its ingredients, abuse of ME/NaPhos/MB/Hyo 1

Tablets
is not expected.
