Uses For Protonix

Pantoprazole is used to treat certain conditions in which there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to treat erosive esophagitis or "heartburn" caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. This medicine may also be used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a condition where the stomach produces too much acid.

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

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

Panacur Paste

Dosage Form: FOR ANIMAL USE ONLY
panacur®

(fenbendazole)

Paste 10% (100 mg/g) Equine Dewormer

Panacur Paste Description

Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% contains the active anthelmintic, fenbendazole. The chemical name of fenbendazole is methyl 5-(phenylthio)-2-benzimidazole carbamate.

The chemical structure is:

Each gram of Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% contains 100 mg of fenbendazole and is flavored with artificial apple-cinnamon liquid.

ACTIONS

The antiparasitic action of Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% is believed to be due to the inhibition of energy metabolism in the parasite.

INDICATIONS

Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% is indicated for the control of large strongyles (Strongylus edentatus, S. equinus, S. vulgaris), encysted early third stage (hypobiotic), late third stage and fourth stage cyathostome larvae, small strongyles, pinworms (Oxyuris equi), ascarids (Parascaris equorum), and arteritis caused by fourth stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris in horses.

Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% is approved for use concomitantly with an approved form of trichlorfon. Trichlorfon is approved for the treatment of stomach bots (Gasterophilus spp.) in horses. Refer to the manufacturer's label for directions for use and cautions for trichlorfon.

Precautions

Side effects associated with Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% could not be established in well-controlled safety studies in horses with single doses as high as 454 mg/lb (1,000 mg/kg) and 15 consecutive daily doses of 22.7 mg/lb (50 mg/kg). Particularly with higher doses, the lethal action of fenbendazole may cause the release of antigens by the dying parasites. This phenomenon may result in either a local or systemic hypersensitive reaction. As with any drug, these reactions should be treated symptomatically.

Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% has been evaluated for safety in pregnant mares during all stages of gestation with doses as high as 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg) and in stallions with doses as high as 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg). No adverse effects on reproductivity were detected. The recommended dose for control of 4th stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris, 4.6 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) daily for 5 consecutive days, has not been evaluated for safety in stallions or pregnant mares.

Internal Parasites

Regular deworming at intervals of six to eight weeks may be required due to the possibility of reinfection.

Migrating Tissue Parasites

In the case of 4th stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris, treatment and retreatment should be based on the life cycle and the epidemiology. Treatment should be initiated in the spring and repeated in the fall after a six month interval.

Optimum Deworming Program for control of S. vulgaris

Optimum reduction of S. vulgaris infections is achieved by reducing the infectivity of the pastures. When horses are running on pasture, in temperate North America, maximum pasture infectivity occurs in October-December. If horses are removed from those pastures in January, pasture infectivity will decline to zero by July 1. Egg production of S. vulgaris is minimal from January through April, peaking in August and declining to minimal values in December.

Recommended Deworming Program

**December 1, February 1, April 1, June 1, August 1, October 1.

The two treatments that are in bold type are the recommended periods when the 5 day treatment regimen for the control of the migrating larvae of S. vulgaris should be performed.

**For other areas in the world, retreatment periods for the migrating larvae of S. vulgaris may be different; consult with your veterinarian.

CAUTIONS

Keep this and all medication out of the reach of children.

When using Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% concomitantly with trichlorfon, refer to the manufacturer's labels for use and cautions for trichlorfon.

Warning

Do not use in horses intended for human consumption

DOSAGE

Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% is administered orally at a rate of 2.3 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) for the control of large strongyles, small strongyles, and pinworms.

Prolia

Pronunciation: den-OH-sue-mab
Generic Name: Denosumab
Brand Name: Prolia

Prolia is used for:

Treating osteoporosis (weak bones) in certain women who have gone through menopause. It is used to treat bone loss in certain men receiving treatment for prostate cancer, and in certain women receiving treatment for breast cancer. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Prolia is a human receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) inhibitor. It works by slowing bone loss and increasing bone strength. This helps to reduce the risk of certain bone fractures.

Do NOT use Prolia if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Prolia


• you have low calcium levels in your blood


• you are using another medicine that contains denosumab

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Prolia:

Some medical conditions may interact with Prolia. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have a history of low blood calcium levels, high cholesterol, blood clotting problems, anemia, bone infection, thyroid or parathyroid problems (including thyroid or parathyroid surgery), or pancreas problems


• if you have a history of kidney problems or you are on dialysis, or if you have problems absorbing nutrients from food (malabsorption syndrome or removal of part of your small intestine)


• if you have immune system problems or if you take medicine to suppress your immune system


• if you cannot take daily calcium or vitamin D supplements


• if you have cancer or have had or will be receiving radiation or chemotherapy


• if you have poor dental hygiene or other dental problems, or plan to have dental surgery or teeth removed


• if you have recently had a broken bone

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Prolia. However, no specific interactions with Prolia are known at this time.

Ask your health care provider if Prolia may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Prolia:

Use Prolia as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Prolia comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Prolia refilled.

Your risk may also be greater if you have certain dental procedures or you use certain medicines or therapies (eg, chemotherapy, corticosteroids, radiation). Talk to your doctor about having a dental exam before you start to use Prolia. Ask your doctor any questions you may have about dental treatment while you use Prolia.


• Proper dental care is important while you are taking Prolia. Brush and floss your teeth and visit the dentist regularly.


• Certain dental procedures should be avoided if possible while you are using Prolia. Check with your doctor and dentist before having any dental treatments while using Prolia.


• Prolia should not be used in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

Before Using Prolastin-C

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Pediatric

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.

Geriatric

Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor in the geriatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.

Pregnancy

Breast Feeding

There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

Interactions with Medicines

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.

Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol

Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.

Other Medical Problems

The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• IgA deficiency with antibodies against IgA—Should not be used in patients with this condition.

Proper Use of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor human

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor human. It may not be specific to Prolastin-C. Please read with care.

A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital or clinic setting. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins.

This medicine is usually given once a week on a regular schedule. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.

Precautions While Using Prolastin-C

It is very important that your doctor check you closely while you are receiving this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to use it.

Call your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; hoarseness; lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting; trouble with breathing; trouble with swallowing; or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after you receive this medicine.

Alpha 1-PI is made from donated human blood. Some human blood products have transmitted certain viruses to people who have received them. The risk of getting a virus from alpha 1-PI is very low and has been greatly reduced in recent years. This is the result of required testing of human donors for certain viruses, and testing during the manufacture of these medicines. Although the risk is low, talk with your doctor if you have concerns. Your doctor may give you a hepatitis B vaccine before receiving this medicine.
