Dermoper uses


INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Dermoper Cream, 5% is indicated for the treatment of infestation with Sarcoptes scabiei (scabies).

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Dermoper Cream, 5% is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components, to any synthetic pyrethroid or pyrethrin.

WARNINGS

If hypersensitivity to Dermoper Cream, 5% occurs, discontinue use.

PRECAUTIONS

General -

Scabies infestation is often accompanied by pruritus, edema, and erythema. Treatment with Dermoper Cream, 5% may temporarily exacerbate these conditions.

Information for Patients -

Patients with scabies should be advised that itching, mild burning and/or stinging may occur after application of Dermoper Cream, 5%. In clinical trials, approximately 75% of patients treated with Dermoper cream, 5% who continued to manifest pruritus at 2 weeks had cessation by 4 weeks. If irritation persists, they should consult their physician. Dermoper Cream, 5% may be very mildly irritating to the eyes. Patients should be advised to avoid contact with eyes during application and to flush with water immediately if Dermoper Cream, 5% gets in the eyes.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility -

Six carcinogenicity bioassays were evaluated with Dermoper, three each in rats and mice. No tumorigenicity was seen in the rat studies. However, species-specific increases in pulmonary adenomas, a common benign tumor of mice of high spontaneous background incidence, were seen in the three mouse studies. In one of these studies there was an increased incidence of pulmonary alveolar-cell carcinomas and benign liver adenomas only in female mice when Dermoper was given in their food at a concentration of 5000 ppm. Mutagenicity assays, which give useful correlative data for interpreting results from carcinogenicity bioassays in rodents, were negative. Dermoper showed no evidence of mutagenic potential in a battery of in vitro and in vivo genetic toxicity studies.

Dermoper did not have any adverse effect on reproductive function at a dose of 180 mg/kg/day orally in a three-generation rat study.

Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category B -

Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rats, and rabbits and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to Dermoper. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers -

It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the evidence for tumorigenic potential of Dermoper in animal studies, consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily or withholding the drug while the mother is nursing.

Pediatric Use -

Dermoper Cream, 5% is safe and effective in pediatric patients two months of age and older. Safety and effectiveness in infants less than two months of age have not been established.

Geriatric Use -

Clinical studies of Dermoper cream, 5% did not identify sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to allow a definitive statement regarding whether elderly subjects respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney. However, since topical Dermoper is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine as inactive metabolites, there does not appear to be an increased risk of toxic reactions in patients with impaired renal function when used as labeled.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

In clinical trials, generally mild and transient burning and stinging followed application with Dermoper cream, 5% in 10% of patients and was associated with the severity of infestation. Pruritus was reported in 7% of patients at various times post-application. Erythema, numbness, tingling, and rash were reported in 1 to 2% or less of patients. Other adverse events reported since marketing Dermoper cream, 5% include: headache, fever, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea and nausea and/or vomiting. Although extremely uncommon and not expected when used as directed, rare occurrences of seizure have been reported. None have been medically confirmed as associated with Dermoper Cream, 5% treatment.

OVERDOSAGE

No instance of accidental ingestion of Dermoper Cream, 5% has been reported. If ingested, gastric lavage and general supportive measures should be employed. Excessive topical use (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION) may result in increased irritation and erythema.
