Vasoconstriction and Pupil Dilatation

Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 10 percent ophthalmic solutions are especially useful when rapid and powerful dilatation of the pupil and reduction of congestion in the capillary bed are desired. A drop of a suitable topical anesthetic may be applied, followed in a few minutes by 1 drop of the Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 10 percent ophthalmic solutions on the upper limbus. The anesthetic prevents stinging and consequent dilution of the solution by lacrimation. It may occasionally be necessary to repeat the instillation after one hour, again preceded by the use of the topical anesthetic.

Uveitis: Posterior Synechiae

Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 10 percent ophthalmic solutions may be used in patients with uveitis when synechiae are present or may develop. The formation of synechiae may be prevented by the use of the 10 percent ophthalmic solutions and atropine to produce wide dilatation of the pupil. It should be emphasized, however, that the vasoconstrictor effect of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride may be antagonistic to the increase of local blood flow in uveal infection.

To free recently formed posterior synechiae, 1 drop of the 10 percent ophthalmic solutions may be applied to the upper surface of the cornea. On the following day, treatment may be continued if necessary. In the interim, hot compresses should be applied for five or ten minutes three times a day, with 1 drop of a 1 or 2 percent solution of atropine sulfate before and after each series of compresses.

Glaucoma

In certain patients with glaucoma, temporary reduction of intraocular tension may be attained by producing vasoconstriction of the intraocular vessels; this may be accomplished by placing 1 drop of the 10 percent ophthalmic solutions on the upper surface of the cornea. This treatment may be repeated as often as necessary.

Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride may be used with miotics in patients with wide angle glaucoma. It reduces the difficulties experienced by the patient because of the small field produced by miosis, and still it permits and often supports the effect of the miotic in lowering the intraocular pressure. Hence, there may be marked improvement in visual acuity after using Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride in conjunction with miotic drugs.

Surgery

When a short-acting mydriatic is needed for wide dilatation of the pupil before intraocular surgery, the 10 percent ophthalmic solutions or 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution may be applied topically from 30 to 60 minutes before the operation.

Refraction

Prior to determination of refractive errors, Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution may be used effectively with homatropine hydrobromide, atropine sulfate, or a combination of homatropine and cocaine hydrochloride.

For adults, a drop of the preferred cycloplegic is placed in each eye, followed in five minutes by 1 drop of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution and in ten minutes by another drop of the cycloplegic. In 50 to 60 minutes, the eyes are ready for refraction.

For children, a drop of atropine sulfate 1 percent is placed in each eye, followed in 10 to 15 minutes by 1 drop of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution and in five to ten minutes by a second drop of atropine sulfate 1 percent. In one to two hours, the eyes are ready for refraction.

For a “one application method,” Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution may be combined with a cycloplegic to elicit synergistic Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)). The additive effect varies depending on the patient. Therefore, when using a “one application method,” it may be desirable to increase the concentration of the cycloplegic.

Ophthalmoscopic Examination

One drop of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution is placed in each eye. Sufficient mydriasis to permit examination is produced in 15 to 30 minutes. Dilatation lasts from one to three hours.

Diagnostic Procedures

Provocative Test for Angle Block in Patients with Glaucoma: The 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution may be used as a provocative test when latent increased intraocular pressure is suspected. Tension is measured before application of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) hydrochloride and again after dilatation. A 3 to 5 mm of mercury rise in pressure suggests the presence of angle block in patients with glaucoma; however, failure to obtain such a rise does not preclude the presence of glaucoma from other causes.

Shadow Test (Retinoscopy): When dilatation of the pupil without cycloplegic Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) is desired for the shadow test, the 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution may be used alone.

Blanching Test: One or 2 drops of the 2.5 percent ophthalmic solution should be applied to the injected eye. After five minutes, examine for perilimbal blanching. If blanching occurs, the congestion is superficial and probably does not indicate iritis.

Based on the 2019 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline on the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and the 2020 American Diabetes Association standards of medical care in diabetes, Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) may be used for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in select patients after weighing the cardiovascular disease risk versus benefits.

Carotid artery atherosclerosis, asymptomatic or symptomatic

Based on the 2012 American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines for antithrombotic therapy and prevention of thrombosis (9th edition), daily Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) is suggested in patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic carotid artery atherosclerosis based on a slight reduction in total mortality observed when Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) is taken over 10 years (regardless of cardiovascular risk profile). The AHA/American Stroke Association guidelines for the primary prevention of stroke recommend daily Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) for patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic carotid atherosclerosis to reduce the risk of a first stroke.

Carotid artery stenting

A randomized, controlled trial with blinded end point adjudication evaluated carotid artery stenting versus carotid endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis.

How to use Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD))

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually every 4 hours as needed.

If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.

The dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. This medication works best if it is used as the first signs of a headache occur. If you wait until the headache has worsened, the medication may not work as well.

This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as nausea/vomiting, mental/mood changes, seizures) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Report any withdrawal reactions right away.

Along with its benefits, this medication may rarely cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction.

Tell your doctor if you notice increased use of this medication, a worsening of headaches, an increase in the number of headaches, the medication not working as well, or use of this medication for more than 2 headache episodes a week. Do not take more than recommended. Your doctor may need to change your medication and/or add a separate medication to prevent the headaches.

This drug is used to treat mild to moderate pain (from headaches, menstrual periods, toothaches, backaches, osteoarthritis, or cold/flu aches and pains) and to reduce fever.

How to use Paracetamol (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD))

Take this product by mouth as directed. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

There are many brands and forms of acetaminophen available. Read the dosing instructions carefully for each product because the amount of acetaminophen may be different between products. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended.

If you are giving acetaminophen to a child, be sure you use a product that is meant for children. Use your child's weight to find the right dose on the product package. If you don't know your child's weight, you can use their age.

For suspensions, shake the medication well before each dose. Some liquids do not need to be shaken before use. Follow all directions on the product package. Measure the liquid medication with the provided dose-measuring spoon/dropper/syringe to make sure you have the correct dose. Do not use a household spoon.

For rapidly-dissolving tablets, chew or allow to dissolve on the tongue, then swallow with or without water. For chewable tablets, chew thoroughly before swallowing.

Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.

For effervescent tablets, dissolve the dose in the recommended amount of water, then drink.

Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the symptoms have worsened, the medication may not work as well.

Do not take this medication for fever for more than 3 days unless directed by your doctor. For adults, do not take this product for pain for more than 10 days (5 days in children) unless directed by your doctor. If the child has a sore throat (especially with high fever, headache, or nausea/vomiting), consult the doctor promptly.

Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens or if you develop new symptoms. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.

Use: Labeled Indications

Hypotension/shock: Treatment of hypotension, vascular failure in shock. Note: Not recommended for routine use in the treatment of septic shock; use should be limited until more evidence demonstrating positive clinical outcomes becomes available (Rhodes 2017).

Guideline recommendations:

Cardiogenic shock: The 2017 American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement for the Contemporary Management of Cardiogenic Shock recommends Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)), if needed, be considered for initial vasoactive management of cardiogenic shock due to aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, or dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction (AHA [van Diepen 2017]).

Hypotension during anesthesia: As a vasoconstrictor in regional analgesia

Nasal congestion: As a decongestant [OTC]

Off Label Uses

Hypotension in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) is a pure alpha1 agonist that will increase systemic vascular resistance without increasing heart rate or contractility. This is advantageous in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypotension since increases in both heart rate and contractility may cause the obstruction to worsen, leading to a decrease in cardiac output. Other vasopressors like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine may increase contractility and/or heart rate. Additional trials may be necessary to further define the role of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) in this condition.

Based on the American Urological Association guidelines for the management of priapism, due to the low risk of cardiovascular side effects intracavernous injection of Phenylephrine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) is recommended for ischemic priapism that persists following aspiration/irrigation.

What are the possible side effects of Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD))?

Overall, the reported number of adverse events in the double-blind period of the controlled trial was similar for the Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) and placebo groups. The following table shows adverse events that occurred in the double-blind period of the controlled trial and that were more frequent in Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) treated patients than placebo.

In addition to the cases above, three cases of necrotizing enterocolitis were diagnosed in patients receiving Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) during the open-label phase of the study.

Three of the infants who developed necrotizing enterocolitis during the trial died. All had been exposed to Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)). Two were randomized to Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)), and one placebo patient was “rescued” with open-label Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) for uncontrolled apnea.

Adverse events described in the published literature include: central nervous system stimulation (i.e., irritability, restlessness, jitteriness), cardiovascular effects (i.e., tachycardia, increased left ventricular output, and increased stroke volume), gastrointestinal effects (i.e., increased gastric aspirate, gastrointesti­nal intolerance), alterations in serum glucose (hypoglycemia and hyper­glycemia) and renal effects (increased urine flow rate, increased creatinine clearance, and increased sodium and calcium excretion). Published long-term follow-up studies have not shown Caffeine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) to adversely affect neurological development or growth parameters.

What are the possible side effects of Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD))?

Pediatric studies were conducted with Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride. More than 1300 pediatric patients aged 6 to 11 years with more than 900 treated with Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride at doses of 1.25 to 10 mg per day were included in controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials conducted in the United States. The duration of treatment ranged from 2 to 12 weeks. Placebo-controlled trials up to 4 weeks duration included 168 pediatric patients aged 2 to 5 years who received Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)), the majority of whom received single daily doses of 5 mg. A placebo-controlled trial 18 months in duration included 399 patients aged 12 to 24 months treated with Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (0.25 mg/kg bid), and another placebo-controlled trial of 7 days duration included 42 patients aged 6 to 11 months who were treated with Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) (0.25 mg/kg bid).

The majority of adverse reactions reported in pediatric patients aged 2 to 11 years with Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride were mild or moderate. In placebo-controlled trials, the incidence of discontinuations due to adverse reactions in pediatric patients receiving up to 10 mg of Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride was uncommon (0.4% on Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride vs. 1.0% on placebo).

Table 1 lists adverse experiences which were reported for Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride 5 and 10 mg in pediatric patients aged 6 to 11 years in placebo-controlled clinical trials in the United States and were more common with Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride than placebo. Of these, abdominal pain was considered treatment-related and somnolence appeared to be dose-related, 1.3% in placebo, 1.9% at 5 mg and 4.2% at 10 mg. The adverse experiences reported in pediatric patients aged 2 to 5 years in placebo-controlled trials were qualitatively similar in nature and generally similar in frequency to those reported in trials with children aged 6 to 11 years.

In the placebo-controlled trials of pediatric patients 6 to 24 months of age, the incidences of adverse experiences, were similar in the Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) and placebo treatment groups in each study. Somnolence occurred with essentially the same frequency in patients who received Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) hydrochloride and patients who received placebo. In a study of 1 week duration in children 6 to 11 months of age, patients who received Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) exhibited greater irritability/fussiness than patients on placebo. In a study of 18 months duration in patients 12 months and older, insomnia occurred more frequently in patients who received Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) compared to patients who received placebo (9.0% v. 5.3%). In those patients who received 5 mg or more per day of Cetirizine (Quick ACTION (KOPRAN LTD)) as compared to patients who received placebo, fatigue (3.6% v. 1.3%) and malaise (3.6% v. 1.8%) occurred more frequently.
