Trandate Intravenous

Generic Name: labetalol (Intravenous route)

la-BAYT-a-lol

Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.

Normodyne

Trandate

Available Dosage Forms:

Solution

Therapeutic Class: Antihypertensive

Pharmacologic Class: Alpha/Beta-Adrenergic Blocker

Uses For Trandate

Labetalol injection is used to treat severe high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled .

This medicine is a beta-blocker. It works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart. As a result, the heart beats slower and decreases the blood pressure. When the blood pressure is lowered, the amount of blood and oxygen is increased to the heart .

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription .

Before Using Trandate

Allergies

Pediatric

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of labetalol injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established .

Geriatric

No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of labetalol in geriatric patients. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver and heart problems, which may require an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving labetalol injection .

Pregnancy

	Pregnancy Category	Explanation
All Trimesters	C	Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

Breast Feeding

Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.

Theraflu (pseudoephedrine) Daytime Severe Cold

Generic Name: acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine (a SEET a MIN oh fen, DEX troe me THOR fan, SOO doe ee FED rin)

Brand Names: Alka-Seltzer Plus Flu Liquigels, Comtrex Non-Drowsy, DayQuil, Dayquil Liquicaps, Daytime Cold, Non-Drowsy Daytime, Robitussin Honey Flu Non-Drowsy, Theraflu (pseudoephedrine) Daytime Severe Cold, Theraflu Severe Cold & Congestion Non-Drowsy, Triaminic Cough & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine), Triaminic Softchew Throat Pain and Cough, Triaminic Softchews Cough & Sore Throat (pseudoephedrine)

What is Theraflu (pseudoephedrine) Daytime Severe Cold (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.

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

The combination of acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat headache, fever, body aches, cough, stuffy nose, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

This medicine will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Theraflu (pseudoephedrine) Daytime Severe Cold (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?

Do not take this medication without a doctor's advice if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. Do not use this medicine if you have untreated or uncontrolled diseases such as glaucoma, asthma or COPD, high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or overactive thyroid.

A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication.
