Dosage


Available as loteprednol etabonate; dosage expressed in terms of the salt.1 2


Adults


Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis

Ophthalmic

1 drop of a 0.2% suspension in the affected eye(s) 4 times daily.2


Inflammatory Ocular Disorders

Ophthalmic

1 or 2 drops of a 0.5% suspension in the affected eye(s) 4 times daily.1 8 9 10 11 During initial treatment (within the first week), may increase dosage up to 1 drop every hour.1 When improvement occurs, decrease frequency of application.1 26 30

1 or 2 drops of a 0.5% suspension to the eye(s) undergoing surgery 4 times daily beginning 24 hours after surgery and continuing for 2 weeks after surgery.1 27 28


Bacterial Ophthalmic Infections

Ophthalmic

Loteprednol etabonate and tobramycin ophthalmic suspension: 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) every 4–6 hours.31 During the initial 24–48 hours, dosing may be increased to every 1–2 hours.31 When improvement occurs, decrease frequency of application.31


Cautions for Loteprednol Etabonate


Contraindications



  • Viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva (e.g., epithelial herpes simplex keratitis [dendritic keratitis], vaccinia, varicella), mycobacterial infection of the eye, and fungal diseases of ocular structures.1 2 31




  • Known hypersensitivity to loteprednol, other corticosteroids, or any ingredient in the formulations.1 2 31



Warnings/Precautions


Warnings


Ocular Effects

Risk of glaucoma (with damage to optic nerve), defects in visual acuity and fields of vision, and posterior subcapsular cataract formation with prolonged use of corticosteroids.1 2 31 Use with caution in the presence of glaucoma.1 2 31 Marked elevation in IOP (≥10 mm Hg) reported with loteprednol use; incidence lower than that reported with prednisolone acetate.1 2 31


In conditions causing thinning of the cornea or sclera, perforations reported with use of topical corticosteroids.1 2 31


Corticosteroid use after cataract surgery may delay healing and increase incidence of bleb formation.1 2 31


Immunosuppressive Effects

Risk of secondary ocular infection with prolonged use of corticosteroids.1 2 31


In acute purulent ocular conditions, corticosteroids may mask infection or exacerbate existing infection.1 2 31


Risk of prolongation or exacerbation of ocular viral infections (e.g., herpes simplex) with ophthalmic corticosteroids.1 2 31 Use with extreme caution in patients with history of herpes simplex.1 2 31


General Precautions


Use of Fixed Combination

Observe the usual precautions associated with tobramycin therapy when loteprednol is used in fixed combination with tobramycin.31


Evaluation of Ocular Condition

Initial prescription or renewal of medication order beyond 14 days should be provided only after examination of the patient with the aid of magnification (e.g., slit lamp biomicroscopy, fluorescein staining where appropriate).1 2 31


Fungal Infections

Long-term local corticosteroid application associated with development of fungal infections of the cornea.1 2 31 Consider fungus invasion in patients with persistent corneal ulceration who have or are receiving corticosteroid therapy; obtain fungal cultures when appropriate.1 2 31


Specific Populations


Pregnancy

Category C.1 2 31


Lactation

Not known whether distributed into human milk following topical application to the eye.1 2 31 Systemic corticosteroids distributed into human milk and may suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, and cause other adverse effects.1 2 31 Use with caution.1 2 31


Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy not established in children <18 years of age.1 2 26 31


Common Adverse Effects


Abnormal/blurred vision, burning on instillation, chemosis, discharge, dry eyes, epiphora, foreign body sensation, itching, injection, photophobia.1 2


Adverse systemic events include headache, rhinitis, and pharyngitis.1 2


Loteprednol Etabonate Pharmacokinetics


Absorption


Bioavailability


Limited systemic exposure following topical application to the eye; plasma concentrations usually are undetectable.1


Onset


In clinical studies in patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, improvement in ocular itching and bulbar conjunctival injection occurred within 2 hours following initiation of therapy.2 12 17 19


In clinical studies in patients with contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis, improvement in papillae, conjunctival injection and itching, and lens intolerance was evident within 1 week of therapy.1 8 9 11 17


Duration


In patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, improvement in ocular itching and bulbar conjunctival injection persisted through day 14 of therapy.2


In patients with contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis, improvement in papillae, conjunctival injection and itching, and lens intolerance persisted for up to 6 weeks while therapy was continued.1 8 9 11 17


Elimination


Metabolism


Undergoes extensive metabolism to inactive carboxylic acid metabolites.1 2


Stability


Storage


Ophthalmic


Suspension

Upright at 15–25°C.1 2 31 Do not freeze.1 2 31


ActionsActions



  • Corticosteroids inhibit edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, leukocyte migration, capillary proliferation, fibroblast proliferation, deposition of collagen, and scar formation associated with inflammation.1 2 31




  • Corticosteroids may induce phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins; these proteins may inhibit release of arachidonic acid and, thus, control biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes).1 2 31



Advice to Patients



  • Importance of learning and adhering to proper administration techniques to avoid contamination of the tip of the suspension container.1 2 31




  • Consult a clinician if pain, redness, itching, or inflammation worsens.1 2 31




  • Importance of not wearing soft contact lenses during treatment with Lotemax or Zylet (benzalkonium chloride preservative may be absorbed by the lenses).1 31




  • Importance of removing soft contact lenses prior to administration of each dose of Alrex.2 Delay reinsertion for 10 minutes after administration if eyes are not red; do not wear contact lenses if eye(s) are red.2 Not indicated for contact lens-related irritation.2




  • Importance of women informing their clinician if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed.1 2 31




  • Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information.1 2 31 (See Cautions.)

What Mixtard

is and what it is used for



Mixtard is human insulin to treat diabetes. Mixtard is a mixture of fast-acting insulin and long-acting insulin. This means that it will start to lower your blood sugar about half an hour after you take it, and the effect will last for approximately 24 hours.




Before you use Mixtard



Do not use Mixtard



  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to this insulin product, metacresol or any of the other ingredients (see 7 Further information). Look out for the signs of allergy in 5 Possible side effects


  • If you feel a hypo coming on (a hypo is short for a hypoglycaemic reaction and is a symptom of low blood sugar). See 4 What to do in an emergency for more about hypos.



Take special care with Mixtard



  • If you have trouble with your kidneys or liver, or with your adrenal, pituitary or thyroid glands


  • If you are drinking alcohol: watch for signs of a hypo and never drink alcohol on an empty stomach


  • If you are exercising more than usual or if you want to change your usual diet


  • If you are ill: carry on taking your insulin


  • If you are going abroad: travelling over time zones may affect your insulin needs and the timing of your injections.



Using other medicines


Many medicines affect the way glucose works in your body and they may influence your insulin dose. Listed below are the most common medicines which may affect your insulin treatment. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you take or have recently taken any other medicines, even those not prescribed.



Your need for insulin may change if you also take: oral antidiabetic products; monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI); beta-blockers; ACE-inhibitors; acetylsalicylic acid; anabolic steroids; sulphonamides; oral contraceptives; thiazides; glucocorticoids; thyroid hormone therapy; beta-sympathomimetics; growth hormone; danazol; octreotide or lanreotide.




Pregnancy and breastfeeding



If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breast-feeding: please contact your doctor for advice.




Driving and using machines



If you drive or use tools or machines: watch out for signs of a hypo. Your ability to concentrate or to react will be less during a hypo. Never drive or use machinery if you feel a hypo coming on. Discuss with your doctor whether you can drive or use machines at all, if you have a lot of hypos or if you find it hard to recognise hypos.





How to use Mixtard


Talk about your insulin needs with your doctor and diabetes nurse. Follow their advice carefully. This leaflet is a general guide.


If your doctor has switched you from one type or brand of insulin to another, your dose may have to be adjusted by your doctor.


Eat a meal or snack containing carbohydrates within 30 minutes of the injection.


It is recommended that you measure your blood glucose regularly.



Injecting insulin


See overleaf for detailed instructions.




Before using Mixtard



  • Check the label to make sure it is the right type of insulin


  • Always use a new needle for each injection to prevent contamination.



Do not use Mixtard



  • In insulin infusion pumps


  • If InnoLet is dropped, damaged or crushed there is a risk of leakage of insulin


  • If it hasn’t been stored correctly or been frozen (see 6 How to store Mixtard)


  • If it’s not uniformly white and cloudy when it’s resuspended.


Mixtard is for injection under the skin (subcutaneously). Never inject your insulin directly into a vein or muscle. Always vary the sites you inject, to avoid lumps (see 5 Possible side effects). The best places to give yourself an injection are: the front of your waist (abdomen); your buttocks; the front of your thighs or upper arms. Your insulin will work more quickly if you inject it around the waist.





What to do in an emergency



If you get a hypo


A hypo means your blood sugar level is too low.



The warning signs of a hypo may come on suddenly and can include: cold sweat; cool pale skin; headache; rapid heart beat; feeling sick; feeling very hungry; temporary changes in vision; drowsiness; unusual tiredness and weakness; nervousness or tremor; feeling anxious; feeling confused; difficulty in concentrating.



If you get any of these signs, eat glucose tablets or a high sugar snack (sweets, biscuits, fruit juice), then rest.



Don’t take any insulin if you feel a hypo coming on.


Carry glucose tablets, sweets, biscuits or fruit juice with you, just in case.



Tell your relatives, friends and close colleagues that if you pass out (become unconscious), they must: turn you on your side and seek medical advice straight away. They must not give you any food or drink as it could choke you.



  • If severe hypoglycaemia is not treated, it can cause brain damage (temporary or permanent) and even death


  • If you have a hypo that makes you pass out, or a lot of hypos, talk to your doctor. The amount or timing of insulin, food or exercise may need to be adjusted.



Using glucagon


You may recover more quickly from unconsciousness with an injection of the hormone glucagon by someone who knows how to use it. If you are given glucagon you will need glucose or a sugary snack as soon as you are conscious. If you do not respond to glucagon treatment, you will have to be treated in a hospital. Seek medical advice after an injection of glucagon; you need to find the reason for your hypo to avoid getting more.




Causes of a hypo


You get a hypo if your blood sugar gets too low. This might happen:


  • If you take too much insulin

  • If you eat too little or miss a meal

  • If you exercise more than usual.



If your blood sugar gets too high


Your blood sugar may get too high (this is called hyperglycaemia).



The warning signs appear gradually. They include: increased urination; feeling thirsty; losing your appetite; feeling sick (nausea or vomiting); feeling drowsy or tired; flushed, dry skin; dry mouth and a fruity (acetone) smell of the breath.



If you get any of these signs, test your blood sugar level and test your urine for ketones if you can. Then seek medical advice straight away.


These may be signs of a very serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis. If you don’t treat it, this could lead to diabetic coma and death.




Causes of hyperglycaemia


  • Having forgotten to take your insulin

  • Repeatedly taking less insulin than you need

  • An infection or a fever

  • Eating more than usual

  • Less exercise than usual.




Possible side effects


Like all medicines, Mixtard can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Mixtard may cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). See the advice in 4 What to do in an emergency.



Side effects reported uncommonly


(in less than 1 patient in 100)



Changes at the injection site (Lipodystrophy). If you inject yourself too often at the same site, fatty tissue under the skin at this site may shrink (lipoatrophy) or thicken (lipohypertrophy). Changing the site with each injection may help to prevent such skin changes. If you notice your skin pitting or thickening at the injection site, tell your doctor or diabetes nurse because these reactions can become more severe, or they may change the absorption of your insulin if you inject in such a site.



Signs of allergy. Reactions (redness, swelling, itching) at the injection site may occur (local allergic reactions). These usually disappear after a few weeks of taking your insulin. If they do not disappear, see your doctor.



Seek medical advice immediately:


  • if signs of allergy spread to other parts of the body, or

  • if you suddenly feel unwell and you start sweating; start being sick (vomiting); have difficulty in breathing; have a rapid heart beat; feel dizzy; feel like fainting.


You may have a very rare serious allergic reaction to Mixtard or one of its ingredients (called a systemic allergic reaction). See also warning in 2 Before you use Mixtard.



Diabetic retinopathy (eye background changes). If you have diabetic retinopathy and your blood glucose levels improve very fast, the retinopathy may get worse. Ask your doctor about this.



Swollen joints. When you start taking insulin, water retention may cause swelling around your ankles and other joints. This soon disappears.



Painful neuropathy (nerve related pain). If your blood glucose levels improve very fast it may cause a burning, tingling or electric pain. This is called acute painful neuropathy and it usually disappears. If it does not disappear, see your doctor.




Side effects reported very rarely


(in less than 1 patient in 10,000)



Vision problems. When you first start your treatment, it may disturb your vision, but the reaction usually disappears.



If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor, diabetes nurse or pharmacist.




How to store Mixtard


Keep out of the reach and sight of children.


Do not use Mixtard after the expiry date which is stated on the label and the carton. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.



The InnoLet
that is not being used is to be stored in a refrigerator (2°C - 8°C).


Do not store them in or too near the freezer section or cooling element.


Do not freeze.



The InnoLet that is being used, about to be used or carried as a spare is not to be kept in a refrigerator. After removing the InnoLet from the refrigerator it is recommended to let it reach room temperature before resuspending the insulin as instructed for the first time use. See 3 How to use Mixtard. You can carry it with you and keep it at room temperature (not above 30°C) for up to 6 weeks. Always keep the pen cap on your InnoLet when you’re not using it in order to protect it from light. Mixtard must be protected from
excessive heat and sunlight.


Mixtard should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will help to protect the environment.

Information on how to use Mixtard

30 InnoLet



Please read the following instructions carefully before using your Mixtard
30 InnoLet
.



Introduction


Mixtard 30 InnoLet is a simple, compact pre-filled pen able to deliver 1 to 50 units in increments of 1 unit. Mixtard 30 InnoLet is designed to be used with NovoFine S needles of 8 mm or shorter in length. Look for an S on the needle box. The S stands for short cap.


As a precautionary measure, always carry a spare insulin delivery device in case your InnoLet is lost or damaged.






Preparing for injection



Check the label to make sure that your Mixtard 30 InnoLet contains the correct type of insulin. Take off the pen cap (as shown by the arrow).


Resuspending is easier when the insulin has reached room temperature.



Suspending the insulin


Before every injection:



  • Check there are at least 12 units of insulin left in the cartridge to allow even resuspending. If there are less than 12 units left, use a new Mixtard 30 InnoLet


  • Move the pen up and down between positions A and B and back so that the glass ball moves from one end of the cartridge to the other (picture 1A) at least 20 times. Repeat this movement at least 10 times before each injection. The movement must always be repeated until the liquid appears uniformly white and cloudy


  • After resuspending, complete all of the following stages of injection without delay.


Attaching the needle



  • Disinfect the rubber membrane with a medicinal swab


  • Always use a new needle for each injection to prevent contamination


  • Remove the protective tab from a NovoFine S needle


  • Screw the needle straight and tightly onto Mixtard 30 InnoLet (picture 1B)


  • Pull off the big outer needle cap and the inner needle cap. You may want to store the big outer needle cap in the compartment.


Priming to expel air


Small amounts of air may collect in the needle and cartridge during normal use.


To avoid injection of air and ensure proper dosing:



  • Dial 2 units by turning the dose selector clockwise


  • Hold Mixtard 30 InnoLet with the needle pointing upwards and tap the cartridge gently with your finger a few times to make any air bubbles collect at the top of the cartridge (picture 1C).


  • Keeping the needle upwards, press the push-button and the dose selector returns to zero


  • A drop of insulin must appear at the needle tip. If not, change the needle and repeat the procedure no more than 6 times.


If a drop of insulin still does not appear, the device is defective and must not be used.






Setting the dose



  • Always check that the push-button is fully depressed and the dose selector is set at zero


  • Dial the number of units required by turning the dose selector clockwise (picture 2). Do not use the residual scale to measure your dose of insulin


  • You will hear a click for every single unit dialled. The dose can be corrected by turning the dial either way.

You cannot set a dose larger than the number of units left in the cartridge.






Injecting the insulin



  • Insert the needle into your skin. Use the injection technique advised by your doctor


  • Deliver the dose by pressing the push-button fully down (picture 3). You will hear clicks as the dose selector returns to zero


  • After the injection, the needle must remain under the skin for at least 6 seconds to ensure that the full dose has been delivered


  • Make sure not to block the dose selector while injecting, as the dose selector must be allowed to return to zero when you press the push-button


  • Remove the needle after each injection.




Removing the needle



  • Replace the big outer needle cap and unscrew the needle (picture 4). Dispose of it carefully.

Use a new needle for each injection.


Remove the needle after each injection and store InnoLet without the needle attached. Otherwise, the liquid may leak out which can cause inaccurate
dosing.


Health care professionals, relatives and other carers must follow general precautionary measures for removal and disposal of needles to eliminate the risk of unintended needle penetration.


Dispose of your used Mixtard 30 InnoLet carefully without the needle attached.






Maintenance


Your Mixtard 30 InnoLet is designed to work accurately and safely. It must be handled with care.


Do not refill Mixtard 30 InnoLet.


You can clean your Mixtard 30 InnoLet by wiping it with a medicinal swab. Do not soak it, wash or lubricate it. This may damage the mechanism.

11. DESCRIPTION


11.1.    GUNA®-ISCHIAL is a sterile solution made with isotonic sodium chloride solution.

It is a homeopathic complex medicine, whose active ingredients have been selected in order to promote 2 main activities:

•    Detoxification of the connective tissue matrix

•    Pain modulation through stimulation of the physiological mechanism of pain control.

Attenuation of the biological substrates acts to target the area of activity of the product





12. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY


12.1.    Mechanism of Action

Due to the homeopathic nature of the active ingredients, receptors may be activated by feedback regulation. Beta-endorphins at the 4C dose activate the membrane receptors for endogenous endorphins that play a key role in pain relief. Anti IL-1 induces a download regulation of IL-1 inflammatory activity.

12.2.    Pharmacodynamics

The physiological effects of GUNA®-ISCHIAL are due to the action of the ingredients, as described in the Homeopathic Materia Medica.

In Homeopathy there is no direct relationship between dose and effect, but rather there is a relationship between attenuation and balancing effect on biochemical pathways.

In GUNA®-ISCHIAL the attenuation of each ingredient has been selected according to the Arndt-Schulz Principle (inverted effect law). Attenuation of the physiological ingredients promotes membrane receptor feedback in order to normalize altered biological pathways. In Addition the attenuation technique activates the low dilutions and stabilizes clinical activity of the compound.

12.3.    Pharmacokinetics

Homeopathic attenuation provides complete bioavailability of the active ingredients.



13. NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY


13.1.    GUNA®-ISCHIAL has no level of toxicity due to the attenuation of the ingredients.



14. CLINICAL STUDIES


14.1.    GUNA®-ISCHIAL formulation is based on classical Homeopathy and each ingredient has been selected according to its description in the Homeopathic Materia Medica. The product is intended for application to target points such as acupuncture points, Weihe points, and key neurological points.

  Clinical indications of the key ingredients:

Anti interleukin 1 alpha 4C / Anti interleukin 1 beta 4C:

•    Biological classification: Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) belongs to the IL-1 family. Endogenous IL-1ra is produced in human autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases.

•    Etiopathogenesis: It binds to IL-1 receptors in competition with IL-1, but does not elicit intracellular response from this binding. Its key role  is counteracting the proinflammatory effects of IL-1.

•    Space-time localization: next to Arnica.  Reference group: Arnica-Mercurius.

•    Clinical: Immunological based diseases, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, acute and chronic pain, osteoarthritis, chronic arthritis, inflammatory psoriasis, wet eczema, localized inflammatory swelling.  Appropriate for local application.

•    Modalities: Worsens with cold and   movement. Improves with rest and warmth.

•    Association with other cell mediators: TNF 15C / IL8 4C /

NT4 4C / GCSF 4C.

 Beta-Endorphin 4C:

•    Biological classification: Neuropeptide  and neurotransmitter. It is produced by the  anterior lobe of the hypophysis  and by the hypothalamus.

•    Etiopathogenesis: It acts on the mechanism that enhances pain. It suppresses the memory of painful events and negative experiences.

•    Space-time localization: next to Arnica.

 Reference group: Mercurius.

•    Clinical: Pain management by enhancing the immune response. It acts on modulating pain, cardiac, gastric and vascular function as well as panic syndrome and satiation. Organic and functional pain. Remedy for somatization disorders. It enhances acupuncture sessions. Antidepressive activity. It may improve individual positive attitudes.

14.2.    Modalities: It worsens with fatigue and intensive exercise.
