Guaifenesin:

• Pancof XP (Guaifenesin) reviews

Indication: Used to assist the expectoration of phlegm from the airways in acute respiratory tract infections.

Pancof XP (Guaifenesin) is an expectorant which increases the output of phlegm (sputum) and bronchial secretions by reducing adhesiveness and surface tension. The increased flow of less viscous secretions promotes ciliary action and changes a dry, unproductive cough to one that is more productive and less frequent. By reducing the viscosity and adhesiveness of secretions, Pancof XP (Guaifenesin) increases the efficacy of the mucociliary mechanism in removing accumulated secretions from the upper and lower airway.

5.1 Risks from Concomitant Use with Benzodiazepines or other CNS Depressants

Concomitant use of opioids, including Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution, with benzodiazepines, or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Because of these risks, avoid use of opioid cough medications in patients taking benzodiazepines, other CNS depressants, or alcohol .

Observational studies have demonstrated that concomitant use of opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines increases the risk of drug-related mortality compared to use of opioids alone. Because of similar pharmacologic properties, it is reasonable to expect similar risk with concomitant use of opioid cough medications and benzodiazepines, other CNS depressants, or alcohol.

Advise both patients and caregivers about the risks of respiratory depression and sedation if Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution is used with benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other CNS depressants .

5.2 Respiratory Depression

Pancof XP bitartrate, one of the active ingredients in Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution, produces dose-related respiratory depression by directly acting on brain stem respiratory centers. Overdose of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate in adults has been associated with fatal respiratory depression, and the use of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate in children less than 6 years of age has been associated with fatal respiratory depression. Exercise caution when administering Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution because of the potential for respiratory depression. If respiratory depression occurs, it may be antagonized by the use of naloxone hydrochloride and other supportive measures when indicated .

5.3 Drug Dependence

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) can produce drug dependence of the morphine type and therefore, has the potential for being abused. Psychic dependence, physical dependence, and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution. Prescribe and administer Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution with the same degree of caution appropriate to the use of other opioid drugs .

5.4 Head Injury and Increased Intracranial Pressure

The respiratory depression effects of opioids and their capacity to elevate cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be markedly exaggerated in the presence of head injury, other intracranial lesions, or a pre-existing increase in intracranial pressure. Furthermore, opioids produce adverse reactions which may obscure the clinical course of patients with head injuries. The use of Pancof XP Oral Solution should be avoided in these patients.

5.5 Activities Requiring Mental Alertness

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate, one of the active ingredients in Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution, may produce marked drowsiness and impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery. Advise patients to avoid engaging in hazardous tasks requiring mental alertness and motor coordination after ingestion of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution. Concurrent use of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided because additional impairment of central nervous system performance may occur.

5.6 Acute Abdominal Conditions

Pancof XP Oral Solution should be used with caution in patients with acute abdominal conditions since the administration of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) may obscure the diagnosis or clinical course of patients with acute abdominal conditions. The concurrent use of other anticholinergics with Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) may produce paralytic ileus .

5.7 Co-administration with Anticholinergics

The concurrent use of anticholinergics with Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) may produce paralytic ileus. Exercise caution when using Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution in patients taking anticholinergic medications .

5.8 Co-administration with MAOIs or Tricyclic Antidepressants

Pancof XP Oral Solution should not be used in patients receiving MAOI therapy or within 14 days of stopping such therapy. The use of MAOIs or tricyclic antidepressants with Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate may increase the effect of either the antidepressant or Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) .

5.9 Persistent Cough

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution should not be used in patients with a persistent or chronic cough such as occurs with smoking, asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema, or where cough is accompanied by excessive phlegm (mucus).

5.10 Dosing

Patients should be advised to measure Pancof XP Oral Solution with an accurate milliliter measuring device. Patients should be informed that a household teaspoon is not an accurate measuring device and could lead to overdosage, which can result in serious adverse reactions . Patients should be advised to ask their pharmacist to recommend an appropriate measuring device and for instructions for measuring the correct dose.

5.11 Coexisting Conditions

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution should be used with caution in patients with diabetes, thyroid disease, Addison's disease, prostatic hypertrophy or urethral stricture, and asthma.

5.12 Renal Impairment

• Renal Impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment.
• Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment. ( 8.7)

8.1 Pregnancy

Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C

There are no adequate and well controlled studies of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution in pregnant women. Reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted with Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution; however, studies are available with an individual active ingredient or related active ingredient. Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) was teratogenic in hamsters. Codeine, an opiate related to Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate), increased resorptions and decreased fetal weight in rats. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution should be used during pregnancy only if the benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate):

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) has been shown to be teratogenic in hamsters when given in a dose approximately 27 times the maximum recommended human daily dose (MRHDD) (on a mg/m ² basis at a single subcutaneous dose of 102 mg/kg on gestation day 8). Reproductive toxicology studies were also conducted with codeine, an opiate related to Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate). In a study in which pregnant rats were dosed throughout organogenesis, a dose of codeine approximately 40 times the MRHDD of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) (on a mg/m ² basis at an oral dose of 120 mg/kg/day of codeine) increased resorptions and decreased fetal weight; however, these effects occurred in the presence of maternal toxicity. In studies in which rabbits and mice were dosed throughout organogenesis, doses of codeine up to approximately 20 and 100 times, respectively, the MRHDD of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) (on a mg/m ² basis at oral doses of 30 and 600 mg/kg/day, respectively), produced no adverse developmental effects.

Nonteratogenic Effects: Babies born to mothers who have been taking opioids regularly prior to delivery will be physically dependent. The withdrawal signs include irritability and excessive crying, tremors, hyperactive reflexes, increased respiratory rate, increased stools, sneezing, yawning, vomiting, and fever. The intensity of the syndrome does not always correlate with the duration of maternal opioid use or dose.

8.2 Labor and Delivery

As with all opioids, administration of Pancof XP Oral Solution to the mother shortly before delivery may result in some degree of respiratory depression in the newborn, especially if higher doses are used.

8.3 Nursing Mothers

Caution should be exercised when Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution is administered to nursing mothers. Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) is known to be excreted in human milk. No studies have been performed to determine if guaifenesin is excreted into breastmilk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of Pancof XP Oral Solution in pediatric patients under 18 years of age has not been established. The use of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) in children less than 6 years of age is associated with fatal respiratory depression .

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies have not been conducted with Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution in geriatric populations. Other reported clinical experience with the individual active ingredients of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and patients younger than 65 years of age. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be made with caution, 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.

8.6 Renal Impairment

Pancof XP Oral Solution should be given with caution in patients with severe impairment of renal function.

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution should be given with caution in patients with severe impairment of hepatic function.

9 DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE

9.1 Controlled Substance

Pancof XP Oral Solution is a Schedule II controlled prescription containing Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate and should be prescribed and administered with caution.

9.2 Abuse

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) can produce drug dependence of the morphine type and therefore, has the potential for being abused. Psychic dependence, physical dependence, and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution, and it should be prescribed and administered with the same degree of caution appropriate to the use of other opioid drugs.

Abuse of guaifenesin has been linked to the formation of kidney stones composed of the major metabolite β-(2-methoxyphenoxy) lactic acid.

9.3 Dependence

Psychic dependence, physical dependence, and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of opioids; therefore, Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution should be prescribed and administered with caution.

Physical dependence, the condition in which continued administration of the drug is required to prevent the appearance of a withdrawal syndrome, assumes clinically significant proportions only after several weeks of continued oral opioid use, although some mild degree of physical dependence may develop after a few days of opioid therapy.

10 OVERDOSAGE

No human overdosage data are available for Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution.

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate):

Overdosage with Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) is characterized by respiratory depression (a decrease in respiratory rate and/or tidal volume, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, cyanosis), extreme somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, skeletal muscle flaccidity, dizziness, ringing in the ears, confusion, blurred vision, eye problems, cold and clammy skin, and sometimes bradycardia and hypotension. In severe overdose, apnea, circulatory collapse, cardiac arrest and death may occur.

Guaifenesin:

Overdosage with guaifenesin can cause depression of the central nervous system. While present in polypharmacy overdoses, one case of overdose with only significant levels of guaifenesin has been reported. Symptoms included slurred speech, shallow respirations, reduced heart rate with rhythm sinus bradycardia, followed by asystole.

Treatment of overdosage consists of discontinuation of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution together with institution of appropriate therapy. Primary attention should be given to the reestablishment of adequate respiratory exchange through provision of a patent airway and the institution of assisted or controlled ventilation. The opioid antagonist naloxone hydrochloride is a specific antidote for respiratory depression which may result from overdosage or unusual sensitivity to opioids including Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate). Therefore, an appropriate dose of naloxone hydrochloride should be administered, preferably by the intravenous route, simultaneously with efforts at respiratory resuscitation. For further information, see full prescribing information for naloxone hydrochloride. An antagonist should not be administered in the absence of clinically significant respiratory depression. Oxygen, intravenous fluids, vasopressors, and other supportive measures should be employed as indicated. Gastric emptying may be useful in removing unabsorbed drug.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Pancof XP is a semisynthetic narcotic antitussive and analgesic with multiple actions qualitatively similar to those of codeine. The precise mechanism of action of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) and other opiates is not known; however, Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) is believed to act directly on the cough center. In excessive doses, Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) will depress respiration. Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) can produce miosis, euphoria, and physical and physiological dependence.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant the action of which promotes or facilitates the removal of secretions from the respiratory tract. The precise mechanism of action of guaifenesin is not known; however, it is thought to act as an expectorant by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of secretions in the trachea and bronchi. In turn, this may increase the efficiency of the cough reflex and facilitate removal of the secretions.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

Systemic exposure (in terms of peak plasma concentrations and area under plasma concentration versus time curve) of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate and guaifenesin after single dose administration of 10 mL Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution are equivalent to respective reference solutions of 5 mL Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) bitartrate (5 mg/5 mL), and 10 mL guaifenesin (200 mg/5 mL).

Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate): Following a single 10 mL oral dose of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution administered to 36 healthy adults (19-74 years), the geometric mean C _max and AUC _0-inf for Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) were 12.6 ng/ml and 80.9 ng·hr/ml, respectively. The median time to maximum concentration for Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) was about 1.25 hours. Food has no significant effect on the extent of absorption of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate). The mean plasma half-life of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) is approximately 5 hours.

Guaifenesin: Following a single 10 mL oral dose of Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) Oral Solution administered to 57 healthy adults (19-74 years), the geometric mean Cmax and AUC0-inf for guaifenesin were 3.7 mcg/ml and 4.2 mcg·hr/ml, respectively. The median time to maximum concentration was about 20 minutes. The effect of food on guaifenesin systemic exposure is not considered to be clinically meaningful. The mean plasma half-life of guaifenesin is approximately 1 hour.

Drug interactions

When guaifenesin and Pancof XP (Hydrocodone Tartrate) were administered in combination, the pharmacokinetics for each component were similar to those observed when each component was administered separately.
