Pronunciation: BAY-ta-METH-a-sone/KAL-si-poe-TRYE-een
Generic Name: Betamethasone/Calcipotriene
Brand Name: Taclonex Scalp

Betamethasone/Calcipotriene Suspension is used for:

Treating a certain type of psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) on the scalp. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Betamethasone/Calcipotriene Suspension is a combination of a topical corticosteroid and an agent that is similar to vitamin D. Exactly how it works to treat psoriasis is not known.

Do NOT use Betamethasone/Calcipotriene Suspension if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Betamethasone/Calcipotriene Suspension


• you have a known or suspected calcium metabolism disorder, high levels of calcium or vitamin D in the blood, or high levels of calcium in the urine

• you have thin skin or a skin infection on the scalp


• you have severe kidney or liver disease

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

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Betamethasone/Calcipotriene Suspension. Because little, if any, of Betamethasone/Calcipotriene Suspension is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

Uses For Recombinate

Antihemophilic factor (AHF) injection is used to treat serious bleeding episodes in patients with a bleeding problem called hemophilia A. The bleeding episode may be related to an injury (trauma) or a surgical procedure. AHF is a protein that is produced naturally in the body. It helps the blood form clots to stop bleeding and prevents bleeding problems from happening as often.

Hemophilia A, also called classical hemophilia, is a condition where the body does not make enough AHF. If you do not have enough AHF and you become injured, your blood will not form clots properly. You might bleed into and damage your muscles and joints. AHF injection is given to increase the levels of AHF in the blood.

There are several different types of AHF. They are made from human blood or artificially by a man-made process (recombinant). AHF made from human blood has been treated and is not likely to contain harmful viruses, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The man-made AHF products do not contain these viruses.

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

Proper Use of antihemophilic factor

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain antihemophilic factor. It may not be specific to Recombinate. Please read with care.

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

This medicine may also be given at home to patients who do not need to be in a hospital or clinic. If you or your child are using this medicine at home, your doctor will teach you how to prepare and inject the medicine. Make sure you understand all of the instructions before giving yourself an injection. Your dose may change based on where you are bleeding. Do not use more medicine or use it more often than your doctor tells you to.

Use only the brand of this medicine that your doctor prescribed. Not all brands are prepared in the same way and the dose may be different.

Every package of medicine comes with a patient information leaflet. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.

To prepare the medicine using 2 bottles (vials) or containers:

• Take the bottles of powder medicine and liquid (diluent) out of the refrigerator and warm them to room temperature.


• Wipe the rubber surface of the bottles with an alcohol swab and allow them to dry.


• Follow the specific directions for your brand of medicine when you prepare the injection.


• Add the liquid to the powder using the special transfer needle or transfer device that comes with the package.


• When injecting the liquid into the dry medicine, aim the stream of liquid against the wall of the container of dry medicine to prevent foaming.


• Swirl the bottle gently to dissolve the medicine. Do not shake the bottle. Shaking will create foam in the mixture.


• Check the mixture to make sure it is clear. Do not use the medicine if you can see anything solid in the mixture or if the mixture is cloudy.


• Use a plastic disposable syringe to remove the mixture from the bottle. Use a special filter needle if your brand of medicine provides one.


• Give the injection as directed by your doctor.


• If you are using more than one bottle of medicine for your dose, prepare the second bottle the same way. Add the mixture from the second bottle to the same syringe.

To prepare the medicine using a prefilled dual-chamber syringe (Xyntha®):

• Take the prefilled dual-chamber syringe out of the refrigerator and warm it to room temperature.


• The dual-chamber syringe has the powder medicine in one part and the liquid (diluent) in the second part of the syringe.


• Attach the plunger rod to the syringe according to the directions. Keep the syringe pointed up to prevent leaking of the liquid.


• Remove the white seal and the grey rubber tip cap. Put the blue vented cap on the syringe. Do not touch the open ends of the syringe and the blue cap.


• Slowly push the plunger until the 2 stoppers inside the syringe are together. This will push all of the liquid into the chamber with the powder medicine.


• Keep the syringe pointed up and gently swirl the syringe to mix the liquid and powder.


• Check the mixture to make sure it is clear. Do not use the medicine if you can see anything solid in the mixture or if the mixture is cloudy.


• Keep the syringe pointed up and push the plunger until most of the air is removed.


• A special infusion set comes with the package. Remove the blue cap and attach the infusion set to the syringe.


• Give the injection as directed by your doctor.


• If you are using more than one syringe of medicine for your dose, prepare the second dual-chamber syringe the same way. The mixture from each syringe will be combined together in a separate syringe before your injection. Your doctor will show you how to do this.

Use the mixture within 3 hours after it is prepared. It must not be stored and used later. Do not put the mixture in the refrigerator.

Do not reuse syringes and needles. Put used syringes and needles in a puncture-resistant disposable container, or dispose of them as directed by your doctor.

Talk to your doctor before traveling. You should plan to bring enough medicine for your treatment when traveling.

Dosing

The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

• For injection dosage form (injection):
  
  • For bleeding episodes in patients with hemophilia A:
    
    • Adults and teenagers—Dose is based on body weight and the type of bleeding episode. The dose must be determined by your doctor.

Missed Dose

Call your doctor or pharmacist for instructions.

Storage

Keep out of the reach of children.

Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.

Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.

The AHF products should be stored in the original container in the refrigerator. Do not let the packages freeze. They can also be kept at room temperature for short periods of time, such as 3 to 6 months. Store the medicine as directed by your doctor or by the manufacturer of the brand you are using. Protect the container from heat and direct light.

If you move the medicine from the refrigerator to room temperature, write the date you take it from the refrigerator on the container. The length of time the medicine can remain at room temperature will depend on the brand you use. If you have already stored the medicine at room temperature, do not return it to the refrigerator. If you do not use the medicine within the time recommended by the manufacturer, you must destroy the medicine.

Precautions While Using Recombinate

It is very important that your doctor check you or your child closely while you are receiving this medicine to make sure it is working properly. Blood tests may be needed.

This medicine may cause serious types of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Stop using this medicine and check with your doctor right away if you or your child have a rash; itching; hoarseness; trouble breathing; trouble swallowing; lightheadedness or dizziness; or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after you receive this medicine.

It is recommended that you carry an identification (ID) card or letter stating that you have hemophilia A and the type of medicine you are using. If you have any questions about what kind of identification to carry, check with your doctor.

Check with your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of parvovirus infection: fever, chills, drowsiness, runny nose, and followed by a rash or joint pain.

Check with your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach; pale stools; dark urine; loss of appetite; nausea; unusual tiredness or weakness; or yellow eyes or skin. These could be symptoms of a serious liver problem.

This medicine 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 medicines made of human blood has been greatly reduced in recent years. This is the result of required testing of human donors for certain viruses, and testing during manufacture of these medicines. Although the risk is low, talk with your doctor if you have any concerns.

The stopper of the bottle (vial) contains dry natural rubber (a derivative of latex), which may cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to latex. Tell your doctor if you have a latex allergy before you start using this medicine.
