What is coal tar?

Coal tar is a by-product of coal processing.


Coal tar topical (for the skin) is used to treat the skin symptoms of psoriasis, including dryness, redness, flaking, scaling, and itching. Coal tar is not a cure for psoriasis, and it will provide only temporary relief of skin symptoms.


Coal tar may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about coal tar?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to coal tar.

Before using coal tar, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you are receiving ultraviolet radiation treatment for your psoriasis.


Do not use coal tar to treat the skin of your groin or rectal area.


Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Coal tar can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Stop using coal tar and call your doctor at once if you have severe stinging, burning, swelling, or other irritation of the treated skin. Do not use coal tar to treat large skin areas. Do not use coal tar over long periods of time without your doctor's advice.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse after using coal tar.


Coal tar is not a cure for psoriasis, and it will provide only temporary relief of skin symptoms.


What should I discuss with my health care provider before using coal tar?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to coal tar.

Before using coal tar, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you are receiving ultraviolet radiation treatment for your psoriasis.

romidepsin Intravenous


roe-mi-DEP-sin


Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.


  • Istodax

Available Dosage Forms:


  • Powder for Solution

Pharmacologic Class: Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor


Uses For romidepsin


Romidepsin injection is used to treat certain types of cancer of the white blood cells called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). romidepsin is used in patients with CTCL and PTCL who have already been treated with other medicines.


Romidepsin interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed by the body. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by romidepsin, other unwanted effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Some unwanted effects may not be serious but may cause concern. Some of the unwanted effects do not occur until months or years after the medicine is used.


Before you begin treatment with romidepsin, you and your doctor should talk about the benefits romidepsin will do as well as the risks of using it.


romidepsin is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.


Before Using romidepsin


In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For romidepsin, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to romidepsin or any other medicines. 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 romidepsin injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.


Geriatric


Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of romidepsin injection in the elderly.


Pregnancy








Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
All TrimestersDStudies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk.

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. When you are receiving romidepsin, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.


Using romidepsin with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.


  • Atazanavir

  • Carbamazepine

  • Clarithromycin

  • Dexamethasone

  • Indinavir

  • Itraconazole

  • Ketoconazole

  • Nefazodone

  • Nelfinavir

  • Phenobarbital

  • Phenytoin

  • Rifabutin

  • Rifampin

  • Rifapentine

  • Ritonavir

  • Saquinavir

  • St John's Wort

  • Telithromycin

  • Voriconazole

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 romidepsin. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


  • Blood or bone marrow problems (e.g., anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia) or

  • Heart or blood vessel disease or

  • Heart rhythm problems (e.g., congenital long QT syndrome), or history of or

  • Mineral imbalance (e.g., magnesium, potassium imbalance)—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.

  • Infection—May decrease your body's ability to fight infection.

  • Kidney disease, severe or

  • Liver disease, moderate and severe—Use with caution. The effects may be increased because of slower removal of the medicine from the body.

Proper Use of romidepsin


You will receive romidepsin while you are in a hospital or cancer treatment center.


romidepsin is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. It is usually given on Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15 of a 28-day cycle treatment. This 3-day treatment is given again every 28 days until your body responds to the medicine. Each treatment usually takes about 4 hours.


romidepsin comes with a patient information leaflet. It is very important that you read and understand this information. Be sure to ask your doctor about anything you do not understand.


Precautions While Using romidepsin


It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure romidepsin is working properly and to check for unwanted effects. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.


Using romidepsin while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.


Romidepsin can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:


  • If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.

  • Check with your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising; black, tarry stools; blood in the urine or stools; or pinpoint red spots on your skin.

  • Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.

  • Do not touch your eyes or the inside of your nose unless you have just washed your hands and have not touched anything else in the meantime.

  • Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.

  • Avoid contact sports or other situations where bruising or injury could occur.

You may get infections (including pneumonia and sepsis) more easily while using romidepsin. These can occur during treatment and within 30 days after treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath with or without chest pain, burning on urination, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, or worsening skin problems.


romidepsin can cause changes in heart rhythms, such as a condition called QT prolongation. It may change the way your heart beats and cause fainting or serious side effects in some patients. Contact your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of heart rhythm problems, such as fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats; chest pain; or shortness of breath.


romidepsin may cause a serious type of reaction called tumor lysis syndrome. Your doctor may give you a medicine to help prevent this. Call your doctor right away if you have a decrease or change in urine amount; joint pain, stiffness, or swelling; lower back, side, or stomach pain; a rapid weight gain; swelling of the feet or lower legs; or unusual tiredness or weakness.


Cancer medicines can cause nausea and/or vomiting in most people, sometimes even after receiving medicines to prevent it. Ask your doctor or nurse about other ways to control these side effects.


Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal (e.g., St. John's wort) or vitamin supplements.

What is Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?

Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.


Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone are used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. It is also used to treat severe acne.


Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?


Do not use birth control pills if you are pregnant or if you have recently had a baby. Do not use this medication if you have any of the following conditions: a history of stroke or blood clot, circulation problems, a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, or a history of jaundice caused by birth control pills.

You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication. Follow your doctor's instructions.


Taking hormones can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, especially if you smoke and are older than 35.

Some drugs can make birth control pills less effective, which may result in pregnancy. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?


This medication can cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, or if you miss two menstrual periods in a row. If you have recently had a baby, wait at least 4 weeks before taking birth control pills (6 weeks if you are breast-feeding). You should not take birth control pills if you have:

  • coronary artery disease, a severe or uncontrolled heart valve disorder, untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure;




  • a history of a stroke, blood clot, or circulation problems;




  • a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer;




  • unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor;




  • liver disease or liver cancer;




  • severe migraine headaches; or




  • a history of jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills.



To make sure you can safely take this medication, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:



  • high blood pressure or a history of heart disease;




  • high cholesterol, gallbladder disease, or diabetes;




  • migraine headaches or a history of depression; or




  • a history of breast cancer or an abnormal mammogram.




The hormones in birth control pills can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medication may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?


Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Take your first pill on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period begins (follow your doctor's instructions).


You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication. Follow your doctor's instructions.


The 28-day birth control pack contains seven "reminder" pills to keep you on your regular cycle. Your period will usually begin while you are using these reminder pills.


You may have breakthrough bleeding, especially during the first 3 months. Tell your doctor if this bleeding continues or is very heavy.

Take one pill every day, no more than 24 hours apart. When the pills run out, start a new pack the following day. You may get pregnant if you do not use this medication regularly. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of pills completely.


The chewable tablet may be chewed or swallowed whole. If chewed, drink a full glass of water just after you swallow the pill.


If you need surgery or medical tests or if you will be on bed rest, you may need to stop using this medication for a short time. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are using birth control pills.


Your doctor will need to check your progress on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.


Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant. If you miss one "active" pill, take two pills on the day that you remember. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack.


If you miss two "active" pills in a row in week one or two, take two pills per day for two days in a row. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. Use back-up birth control for at least 7 days following the missed pills.


If you miss two "active" pills in a row in week three, or if you miss three pills in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one that day.


If you miss two or more pills, you may not have a period during the month. If you miss a period for two months in a row, call your doctor because you might be pregnant.

If you miss any reminder pills, throw them away and keep taking one pill per day until the pack is empty. You do not need back-up birth control if you miss a reminder pill.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding.

What should I avoid while taking Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?


Do not smoke while using birth control pills, especially if you are older than 35. Smoking can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack caused by birth control pills.

Birth control pills will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases--including HIV and AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to protect yourself from these diseases.


Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone) side effects

What other drugs will affect Ortho-Novum 1/35 (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?

  • acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ascorbic acid (vitamin C);
