How Supplied
RYCLORA™ Oral Solution is supplied as a red colored, cherry flavored liquid in the following sizes:
4 fl oz (118 mL), NDC 15370-150-04
16 fl oz (473 mL), NDC 15370-150-16
0.7 fl oz (20mL), NDC 15370-150-99 (as physician sample)
Description
| Each 5 mL (teaspoonful) contains: | |
| Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate, USP | 2 mg |
Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate, USP, an antihistamine agent, is a white, odorless crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water. The molecular formula is C16H19ClN2 ∙ C4H4O4, designated chemically as (+)-2-[p-Chloro-α-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]benzyl] pyridine maleate (1:1).
M.W. = 390.86
Inactive Ingredients: Citric acid, cherry flavoring, FD&C Red No. 40, glycerin, menthol, methylparaben, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, sodium citrate dihydrate, and sugar.
Section 42229-5
Rx only
Warnings
Antihistamines should be used with considerable caution in patients with:
-
Narrow angle glaucoma
-
Stenosing peptic ulcer
-
Pyloroduodenal obstruction
-
Symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy
-
Bladder neck obstruction
Overdosage
Antihistamine overdosage reactions may vary from central nervous system depression to stimulation. Stimulation is particularly likely in children. Atropine-like signs and symptoms—dry mouth, fixed, dilated pupils, flushing, and gastrointestinal symptoms may also occur.
If vomiting has not occurred spontaneously the patient should be induced to vomit. This is best done by having the patient drink a glass of water or milk after which the patient should be made to gag. Precautions against aspiration must be taken, especially in infants and children.
Saline cathartics, such as milk of magnesia, draw water into the bowel by osmosis and therefore, are valuable for their action in rapid dilution of bowel content.
Stimulants should not be used.
Vasopressors may be used to treat hypotension.
Precautions
RYCLORA™ Oral Solution has an atropine-like action and, therefore, should be used with caution in patients with:
History of bronchial asthma
Increased intraocular pressure Hyperthyroidism
Cardiovascular disease
Hypertension
Use in Children
In infants and children, especially, antihistamines in overdosage may cause hallucinations, convulsions, or death.
As in adults, antihistamines may diminish mental alertness in children. In the young child, particularly, they may produce excitation.
Drug Interaction
MAO inhibitors prolong and intensify the anticholinergic (drying) effects of antihistamines.
Use in Pregnancy
Experience with this drug in pregnant women is inadequate to determine whether there exists a potential for harm to the developing fetus.
Recommended Dosage
Adults and Children 12 years of age and older: 2 mg (1 teaspoonful)
Children 6 to 11 years: 1 mg (1/2 teaspoonful)
Children 2 to 5 years: 0.5 mg (1/4 teaspoonful)
Doses are generally given every 4 to 6 hours.
Recommended Storage
Store at 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].
Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container as defined in the USP, with child-resistant closure.
Clinical Pharmacology
Dexchlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine with anticholinergic (drying) and sedative side effects. Antihistamines appear to compete with histamine for cell receptor sites on effector cells.
Use in Nursing Mothers
Because of the higher risk of antihistamines for infants generally and for newborns and prematures in particular, antihistamine therapy is contraindicated in nursing mothers.
Use With Cns Depressants
RYCLORA™ Oral Solution has additive effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants (hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers, etc.).
Use in Lower Respiratory Disease
Antihistamines should NOT be used to treat lower respiratory tract symptoms including asthma.
Antihistamines are also contraindicated in the following conditions:
-
Hypersensitivity to dexchlorpheniramine maleate or other antihistamines of similar chemical structure
-
Monoamine oxidase inhibitor therapy (See Drug Interaction section)
Use in Newborn Or Premature Infants
This drug should not be used in newborn or premature infants.
Use in Activities Requiring Mental Alertness
Patients should be warned about engaging in activities requiring mental alertness such as driving a car or operating appliances, machinery, etc.
