  • BUTALBITAL ANALGESICS Allzital (Butalbital-Acetaminophen
    BUTALBITAL ANALGESICS Allzital (butalbital-acetaminophen), butalbital-aspirin-caffeine, butalbital-aspirin-caffeine- codeine, butalbital-acetaminophen, butalbital-acetaminophen-caffeine, butalbital- acetaminophen-caffeine-codeine, Vanatol LQ (butalbital-acetaminophen-caffeine liquid oral solution) RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Butalbital containing products are non-opioid analgesics that contain a combination of different drug products indicated for the relief of the symptom complex of tension (or muscle contraction) headache pain. Butalbital is a short to intermediate-acting barbiturate that works in concert with acetaminophen, an antipyretic non-salicylate agent, aspirin, a pain-relieving NSAID, and caffeine, a stimulant that works in the CNS, to decrease pain via a mechanism that isn’t well understood. Butalbital is a habit-forming drug that potentiates the effects of other commonly abuse drugs or substances like alcohol. Caffeine might help increase vasodilation and smooth muscle relaxation, while butalbital is thought to help balance the CNS stimulation caused by caffeine and produces depressant effects (1). Regulatory Status FDA approved indication: Butalbital containing products are used in the relief of the symptom complex of tension or muscle contraction headaches (2-8). Frequent use of acute medications is generally thought to cause medication-overuse headache. To decrease the risk of medication-overuse headache (“rebound headache” or “drug-induced headache”) many experts limit acute therapy to two headache days per week on a regular basis. Based on concerns of overuse, medication-overuse headache, and withdrawal, the use of butalbital-containing analgesics should be limited and carefully monitored. The Allzital limit is set to the maximum of 12 doses per day for acute treatment of 8 headaches per month as this product contains less butalbital than other products.

  • Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules
    Medication Guide Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules, C III Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules are: • A strong prescription pain medicine that contains an opioid (narcotic) that is indicated for the relief of the symptom complex of tension (or muscle contraction) headache, when other pain treatments such as non-opioid pain medicines do not treat your pain well enough or you cannot tolerate them. • An opioid pain medicine that can put you at risk for overdose and death. Even if you take your dose correctly as prescribed you are at risk for opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse that can lead to death. Important information about Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules: • Get emergency help right away if you take too much Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules (overdose). When you first start taking Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules, when your dose is changed, or if you take too much (overdose), serious or life-threatening breathing problems that can lead to death may occur. • Taking Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules with other opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants (including street drugs) can cause severe drowsiness, decreased awareness, breathing problems, coma, and death. • Never give anyone else your Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules. They could die from taking it. Store Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules away from children and in a safe place to prevent stealing or abuse. Selling or giving away Butalbital, Acetaminophen, Caffeine, and Codeine Phosphate Capsules is against the law. • Get emergency help right away if you take more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in 1 day.

  • Headaches in Woman
    11 Headaches in Women Randolph W. Evans Women have headaches more commonly than men. The preva- lence of migraine is 18% of women and 6% of men. This gender ratio increases from menarche, peaks at 42 years of age, and then declines. For young women the incidence of migraine with aura peaks between the ages of 12 and 13 (14.1/1,000 person- years), and migraine without aura peaks between the ages of 14 and 17 (18.9/1,000 person-years) (1). Table 11-1 provides the life- time prevalence of various headaches in women and men. Estrogen levels are a key factor in the increased prevalence of migraine in women. Evidence includes the following: migraine prevalence increases at menarche; estrogen withdrawal during menstruation is a common migraine trigger; estrogen administra- tion in oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy can trigger migraines; migraines typically decrease during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, when estrogen levels are high; migraines are common immediately postpartum, with the precipi- tous drop in estrogen levels; and migraines generally improve with physiological menopause. Exactly how changes in estrogen levels influence migraine is not understood. Among numerous effects, fluctuations in estrogen levels can result in changes in prostaglandins and the uterus, prolactin release, opioid regula- tion, and melatonin secretion. These fluctuations can also cause changes in neurotransmitters, including the catecholamines, noradrenaline, serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins (2). This chapter reviews some important headache issues for women, including menstrual migraine, menopause and migraine, oral contraceptive use in migraineurs, and headaches during pregnancy and postpartum. MENSTRUAL MIGRAINE The reported prevalence of menstrual migraine varies from 4% to 73%, depending on the criteria used for the timing of the attack.

Methods—We used data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a multi-site, population-based, case-control study. We analyzed data from 1,537 infants with second-or third- degree isolated hypospadias and 4,314 liveborn male control infants without major birth defects, with estimated dates of delivery from 1997–2007. Exposure was reported use of prescription or over-the-counter medications or herbal products, from 1 month before to 4 months after conception. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, pre- pregnancy BMI, previous live births, maternal sub-fertility, study site, and year.

  • High-Risk Medications in the Elderly
    High-Risk Medications in the Elderly The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contracted with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to develop clinical strategies to monitor and evaluate the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The NCQA’s Geriatric Measurement Advisory Panel identified several categories of medications that have an increased risk of adverse effects to elderly patients. The enclosed chart identifies several key medication categories that CMS and NCQA are monitoring. In an effort to ensure patients’ safety, many of our clients have established pre-authorization protocols for those prescriptions for high risk medications in patients older than 65 years of age. Since pharmacists have a very important role in patient care, we want you to be part of this safety initiative. We strongly encourage that you contact the prescriber when your elderly patient is requesting a new or refilled prescription of a high-risk medication listed on the below chart. Category High Risk Medications Alternatives Analgesics butalbital/APAP Mild Pain: butalbital/APAP/caffeine (ESGIC, FIORICET) acetaminophen, codeine, short-term NSAIDs butalbital /APAP/caffeine/codeine Moderate/Severe Pain: butalbital/ASA/caffeine (FIORINAL) tramadol (ULTRAM), tramadol/APAP* (ULTRACET), butalbital/ASA/caffeine/codeine morphine sulfate (MS CONTIN), ketorolac (TORADOL) hydrocodone/APAP (VICODIN, etc.), oxycodone indomethacin (INDOCIN) (OXYIR), oxycodone/APAP (PERCOCET), fentanyl meperidina (DEMEROL) patch (DURAGESIC), OXYCONTIN

Regulation section: Product Code Classification Regulation Section Panel DIS Class II 21 CFR § 862.3200, 91-Toxicology Barbiturate test system DLJ Class II 21 CFR § 862.3200, 91-Toxicology Calibrators, Drug specific LAS Class I, reserved 21 CFR 862.3280 91-Toxicology Clinical Toxicology control material 1 H. Intended Use: 1. Intended use(s): See Indications for use below. 2. Indication(s) for use: Randox Barbiturates Assay: The Randox Laboratories Ltd. Barbiturates Assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of Barbiturates, in human urine on the Rx Imola and Rx Daytona. The cutoff for secobarbital is 200 ng/mL. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for prescription use only. The semi-quantitative mode is for purpose of (1) enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as GCMS Or (2) permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures. This assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive.
