Dimethicone:


This medication is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking. Some products (e.g., zinc oxide, white petrolatum ) are used mostly to protect the skin against irritation (e.g., from wetness). Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and Tegunal (Dimethicone) are common emollients. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the horny substance (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (e.g., urea, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and allantoin ). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin keep in more water, and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer.

Talc:


1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Sterile Tegunal (Talc) Powder is indicated to decrease the recurrence of malignant pleural effusions in symptomatic patients following maximal drainage of the pleural effusion.

STERILE Tegunal (Talc) POWDER is a sclerosing agent indicated to decrease the recurrence of malignant pleural effusions in symptomatic patients following maximal drainage of the pleural effusion. (1)

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

  • The recommended dose is 5 g, dissolved in 50 ml to 100 ml 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, administered intrapleurally
  • Prepare and administer suspension as recommended (2.2)

2.1 Recommended Dose

The recommended dose is 5 g, suspended in 50 ml to 100 ml 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP

2.2 Preparation

Prepare the Tegunal suspension using aseptic technique in an appropriate laminar flow hood as follows:

Step 1. Using a 16 gauge needle attached to a 60-ml LuerLok syringe, draw up 50 ml of 0.9 % Sodium Chloride injection, USP. Vent the Tegunal (Talc) bottle using a needle. Slowly inject the 50 ml of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP into the bottle.

Step 2. Swirl the bottle to disperse the Tegunal (Talc) powder.

Step 3. Divide the contents of the bottle equally into two 60 ml LuerLok syringes, each attached with a 16 gauge needle, by withdrawing 25 ml of the suspension into each syringe with continuous swirling. Add 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a total volume of 50 ml in each syringe. Draw 10 ml of air into each syringe to the 60 ml mark to serve as a headspace for mixing prior to administration. Each syringe should contain 2.5 g of Sterile Tegunal (Talc) Powder in 50 ml of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP with an air headspace of 10 ml.

Step 4. Label the syringes with the Tegunal (Talc) concentration, the expiration date and time, the identity of the patient intended to receive the material, and the following statements:

“SHAKE SYRINGE WELL to resuspend before administration”

“FOR PLEURODESIS ONLY – not for intravenous administration”

Step 5. If not used immediately, store prepared suspension in refrigerator. Discard the prepared suspension if not used within 12 hours.

2.3 Administration

Prior to administration, continuously agitate the syringes to evenly redisperse the Tegunal (Talc) and avoid settlement. Immediately prior to administration, vent the 10 ml air headspace from each syringe. Administer the Tegunal (Talc) suspension through the chest tube according to standard procedures.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category B.

Risk Summary

A reproduction study performed in rabbits at doses up to approximately 5 times the human dose revealed no evidence of teratogenicity. There are 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.

Animal Data

Rabbits were administered Tegunal by oral gavage daily during the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 900 mg/kg (approximately 5 times the human dose on a mg/m2 basis). No significant dose-related toxicity was reported except at maternally toxic doses. In multiple animal studies, intrapleurally administered Tegunal (Talc) was not absorbed systemically.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients.

11 DESCRIPTION

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Tegunal (Talc) instilled into the pleural cavity is thought to result in an inflammatory reaction. This reaction can promote adherence of the visceral and parietal pleura, which may prevent reaccumulation of pleural fluid.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Studies on the carcinogenicity of Tegunal (Talc) have been performed using non-standard designs which prevent firm conclusions on its carcinogenicity. With single intraperitoneal administration to mice at 20 mg and observation for at least 6 months or 4 weekly doses administered intraperitoneally at 25 mg/dose to rats with observation for at least 84 weeks, tumor incidence was not increased. In these studies the Tegunal (Talc) and its asbestos content were not characterized.

Genotoxicity was tested in cultures of rat pleural mesothelial cells (RPMC) as unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). None of the Tegunal (Talc) samples (which were asbestos-free) induced enhancement of UDS or SCEs in treated cultures. No information is available on impairment of fertility in animals by Tegunal (Talc).

Zinc Oxide:


INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is indicated for use as a supplement to intravenous solutions given for TPN. Administration helps to maintain Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) serum levels and to prevent depletion of endogenous stores, and subsequent deficiency symptoms.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

None known.

WARNINGS

Direct intramuscular or intravenous injection of Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is contraindicated as the acidic pH of the solution (2) may cause considerable tissue irritation.

Severe kidney disease may make it necessary to reduce or omit chromium and Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) doses because these elements are primarily eliminated in the urine.

WARNING: This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum.

Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.

PRECAUTIONS

General

Do not use unless the solution is clear and the seal is intact.

Zinc 1 mg/mL should only be used in conjunction with a pharmacy directed admixture program using aseptic technique in a laminar flow environment; it should be used promptly and in a single operation without any repeated penetrations. Solution contains no preservatives; discard unused portion immediately after admixture procedure is completed.

Zinc should not be given undiluted by direct injection into a peripheral vein because of the likelihood of infusion phlebitis and the potential for increased excretory loss of Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) from a bolus injection. Administration of Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) in the absence of copper may cause a decrease in serum copper levels.

Laboratory Tests

Periodic determinations of serum copper as well as Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) are suggested as a guideline for subsequent Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) administration.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility

Long-term animal studies to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Tegunal 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) have not been performed, nor have studies been done to assess mutagenesis or impairment of fertility.

Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) is administered to a nursing woman.

Pediatric Use

Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Tegunal chloride. It is also not known whether Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) chloride can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) chloride should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Geriatric Use

An evaluation of current literature revealed no clinical experience identifying differences in response between elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

None known.

DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE

None known.

OVERDOSAGE

Single intravenous doses of 1 to 2 mg zinc/kg body weight have been given to adult leukemic patients without toxic manifestations. However, acute toxicity was reported in an adult when 10 mg Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) was infused over a period of one hour on each of four consecutive days. Profuse sweating, decreased level of consciousness, blurred vision, tachycardia (140/min), and marked hypothermia (94.2° F) on the fourth day were accompanied by a serum Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) concentration of 207 mcg/dl. Symptoms abated within three hours.

Hyperamylasemia may be a sign of impending Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) overdosage; patients receiving an inadvertent overdose (25 mg zinc/liter of TPN solution, equivalent to 50 to 70 mg zinc/day) developed hyperamylasemia (557 to 1850 Klein units; normal: 130 to 310).

Death resulted from an overdosage in which 1683 mg Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) was delivered intravenously over the course of 60 hours to a 72 year old patient.

Symptoms of Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) toxicity included hypotension (80/40 mm Hg), pulmonary edema, diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, and oliguria, with a serum Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) level of 4184 mcg/dl.

Calcium supplements may confer a protective effect against Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) toxicity.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) 1 mg/mL (Zinc Chloride Injection, USP) contains 1 mg zinc/mL and is administered intravenously only after dilution. The additive should be diluted prior to administration in a volume of fluid not less than 100 mL. For the metabolically stable adult receiving TPN, the suggested intravenous dosage is 2.5 to 4 mg zinc/day (2.5 to 4 mL/day). An additional 2 mg zinc/day (2 mL/day) is suggested for acute catabolic states. For the stable adult with fluid loss from the small bowel, an additional 12.2 mg zinc/liter of small bowel fluid lost (12.2 mL/liter of small bowel fluid lost), or an additional 17.1 mg zinc/kg of stool or ileostomy output (17.1 mL/kg of stool or ileostomy output) is recommended. Frequent monitoring of Tegunal (Zinc Oxide) blood levels is suggested for patients receiving more than the usual maintenance dosage level of Tegunal (Zinc Oxide).

For full term infants and children up to 5 years of age, 100 mcg zinc/kg/day (0.1 mL/kg/day) is recommended. For premature infants (birth weight less than 1500 g) up to 3 kg in body weight, 300 mcg zinc/kg/day (0.3 mL/kg/day) is suggested.

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. See PRECAUTIONS.
