Cordran Description


Cordran® (Flurandrenolide, USP) is a potent corticosteroid intended for topical use. Flurandrenolide occurs as white to off-white, fluffy, crystalline powder and is odorless. Flurandrenolide is practically insoluble in water and in ether. One g dissolves in 72 mL of alcohol and in 10 mL of chloroform. The molecular weight of flurandrenolide is 436.52.


The chemical name of flurandrenolide is Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, 6-fluoro-11,21-dihydroxy-16,17-[(1-methylethylidene)bis (oxy)]-, (6α, 11β, 16α)-; its empirical formula is C24H33FO6. The structure is as follows:


Flurandrenolide Chemical Structure



Each g of Cordran® SP Cream (Flurandrenolide Cream, USP) contains 0.5 mg (1.145 μmol; 0.05%) or 0.25 mg (0.57 μmol; 0.025%) flurandrenolide in an emulsified base composed of cetyl alcohol, citric acid, mineral oil, polyoxyl 40 stearate, propylene glycol, sodium citrate, stearic acid, and purified water.


Each g of Cordran® Ointment (Flurandrenolide Ointment, USP) contains 0.5 mg (1.145 μmol; 0.05%) or 0.25 mg (0.57 μmol; 0.025%) flurandrenolide in a base composed of white wax, cetyl alcohol, sorbitan sesquioleate, and white petrolatum.



Cordran - Clinical Pharmacology


Cordran is primarily effective because of its anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions.


The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of topical corticosteroids is not completely understood. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man. Corticosteroids with anti-inflammatory activity may stabilize cellular and lysosomal membranes. There is also the suggestion that the effect on the membranes of lysosomes prevents the release of proteolytic enzymes and, thus, plays a part in reducing inflammation.


Pharmacokinetics—The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors, including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings.


Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. Thus, occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).


Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. They are metabolized primarily in the liver and then excreted in the kidneys. Some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile.



Indications and Usage for Cordran


Cordran is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.



Contraindications


Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of these preparations.



Precautions



General -


Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients.


Conditions that augment systemic absorption include application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings.


Therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression using urinary-free cortisol and ACTH stimulation tests. If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent steroid.


Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug. Infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, so that supplemental systemic corticosteroids are required.


Pediatric patients may absorb proportionately larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity (see Pediatric Use under PRECAUTIONS).


If irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.


In the presence of dermatologic infections, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted. If a favorable response does not occur promptly, Cordran should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.



Information for the Patient -


Patients using topical corticosteroids should receive the following information and instructions:



  1. This medication is to be used as directed by the physician. It is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.




  2. Patients should be advised not to use this medication for any disorder other than that for which it was prescribed.




  3. The treated skin area should not be bandaged or otherwise covered or wrapped in order to be occlusive unless the patient is directed to do so by the physician.




  4. Patients should report any signs of local adverse reactions, especially under occlusive dressing.




  5. Parents of pediatric patients should be advised not to use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants on a patient being treated in the diaper area, because these garments may constitute occlusive dressings.




Laboratory Tests -


The following tests may be helpful in evaluating the HPA axis suppression:

Urinary-free cortisol test

ACTH stimulation test



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility -


Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential or the effect on fertility of topical corticosteroids.


Studies to determine mutagenicity with prednisolone and hydrocortisone have revealed negative results.



Usage in Pregnancy -


Pregnancy Category C—Corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. The more potent corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. Therefore, topical corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively for pregnant patients or in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time.



Nursing Mothers -


It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Systemically administered corticosteroids are secreted into breast milk in quantities not likely to have a deleterious effect on the infant. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when topical corticosteroids are administered to a nursing woman.



Pediatric Use -


Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical corticosteroid-induced HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome than do mature patients because of a larger skin surface area to body weight ratio.


Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in pediatric patients receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in pediatric patients include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.


Administration of topical corticosteroids to pediatric patients should be limited to the least amount compatible with an effective therapeutic regimen. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of pediatric patients.



Adverse Reactions


The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence:


Burning

Itching

Irritation

Dryness

Folliculitis

Hypertrichosis

Acneform eruptions

Hypopigmentation

Perioral dermatitis

Allergic contact dermatitis


The following may occur more frequently with occlusive dressings:


Maceration of the skin

Secondary infection

Skin atrophy

Striae

Miliaria



Overdosage


Topically applied corticosteroids can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects (see PRECAUTIONS).



Cordran Dosage and Administration


Topical corticosteroids are generally applied to the affected area as a thin film 1 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition.


For moist lesions, a small quantity of the cream should be rubbed gently into the affected areas 2 or 3 times a day. For dry, scaly lesions, the ointment is applied as a thin film to affected areas 2 or 3 times daily.


Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions.


If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.


Use With Occlusive Dressings


The technique of occlusive dressings (for management of psoriasis and other persistent dermatoses) is as follows:



  1. Remove as much as possible of the superficial scaling before applying Cordran SP Cream or Cordran Ointment. Soaking in a bath will help soften the scales and permit easier removal by brushing, picking, or rubbing.




  2. Rub Cordran SP Cream or Cordran Ointment thoroughly into the affected areas.




  3. Cover with an occlusive plastic film, such as polyethylene, Saran Wrap™, or Handi-Wrap®. (When Cordran SP Cream is used, added moisture may be provided by placing a slightly dampened cloth or gauze over the lesion before the plastic film is applied.)




  4. Seal the edges to adjacent normal skin with tape or hold in place by a gauze wrapping.




  5. For convenience, the patient may remove the dressing during the day. The dressing should then be reapplied each night.




  6. For daytime therapy, the condition may be treated by rubbing Cordran SP Cream or Cordran Ointment sparingly into the affected areas.




  7. In more resistant cases, leaving the dressing in place for 3 to 4 days at a time may result in a better response.




  8. Thin polyethylene gloves are suitable for treatment of the hands and fingers; plastic garment bags may be utilized for treating lesions on the trunk or buttocks. A tight shower cap is useful in treating lesions on the scalp.



Occlusive Dressings Have the Following Advantages—



  1. Percutaneous penetration of the corticosteroid is enhanced.




  2. Medication is concentrated on the areas of skin where it is most needed.




  3. This method of administration frequently is more effective in very resistant dermatoses than is the conventional application of Cordran.



Precautions to Be Observed in Therapy With Occlusive Dressings—Treatment should be continued for at least a few days after clearing of the lesions. If it is stopped too soon, a relapse may occur. Reinstitution of treatment frequently will cause remission.


Because of the increased hazard of secondary infection from resistant strains of staphylococci among hospitalized patients, it is suggested that the use of occlusive plastic films for corticosteroid therapy in such cases be restricted.


Generally, occlusive dressings should not be used on weeping, or exudative, lesions.


When large areas of the body are covered, thermal homeostasis may be impaired. If elevation of body temperature occurs, use of the occlusive dressing should be discontinued.


Rarely, a patient may develop miliaria, folliculitis, or a sensitivity to either the particular dressing material or a combination of Cordran and the occlusive dressing. If miliaria or folliculitis occurs, use of the occlusive dressing should be discontinued. Treatment by inunction with a corticosteroid such as Cordran may be continued. If the sensitivity is caused by the particular material of the dressing, substitution of a different material may be tried.


Warnings—Some plastic films are readily flammable. Patients should be cautioned against the use of any such material.


When plastic films are used on pediatric patients, the persons caring for the patients must be reminded of the danger of suffocation if the plastic material accidentally covers the face.

Aptivus


Pronunciation: tye-PRAN-a-vir
Generic Name: Tipranavir
Brand Name: Aptivus

Aptivus is used along with another HIV medicine (ritonavir). Serious and sometimes fatal bleeding in the brain has occurred with this combination. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop symptoms of bleeding in the brain. These may include confusion, vision or speech problems, or one-sided weakness.


Serious and sometimes fatal liver problems have also been reported with this combination. Patients who have hepatitis B or C may be at greater risk. Contact your doctor at once if you develop symptoms of liver problems. Such symptoms may include yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, stomach pain or tenderness, severe or persistent nausea, or loss of appetite.


Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.





Aptivus is used for:

Treating HIV infection. Aptivus should be used with ritonavir.


Aptivus is a protease inhibitor. It works by blocking the growth of an enzyme (HIV protease) that the HIV virus needs to reproduce in the body.


Do NOT use Aptivus if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Aptivus

  • you have moderate to severe liver disease

  • you are taking alfuzosin, certain antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine), astemizole, certain benzodiazepines (eg, midazolam, triazolam), certain HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg, lovastatin, simvastatin), cisapride, ergot derivatives (eg, ergonovine, ergotamine), other HIV protease inhibitors (eg, saquinavir), pimozide, rifampin, salmeterol, a serotonin 5-HT1 receptor antagonist (eg, eletriptan, sumatriptan), St. John's wort, or terfenadine

  • you are taking sildenafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

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



Before using Aptivus:


Some medical conditions may interact with Aptivus. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to any other sulfonamide medicine, such as acetazolamide, celecoxib, certain diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide), glyburide, probenecid, sulfamethoxazole, valdecoxib, or zonisamide

  • if you have cholesterol or lipid problems, diabetes or a family history of diabetes, liver problems (eg, hepatitis B or C), abnormal liver function tests, kidney problems, or bleeding problems (eg, hemophilia)

  • if you take vitamin E or you have a recent injury or other medical condition that may increase your risk of bleeding or serious bruising

  • if you will be having or have recently had surgery

  • if you have never taken another medicine for HIV infection

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Aptivus. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Certain antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine), astemizole, certain benzodiazepines (eg, midazolam, triazolam), cisapride, ergot derivatives (eg, ergonovine, ergotamine), certain HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg, lovastatin, simvastatin), pimozide, salmeterol, serotonin 5-HT1 receptor antagonists (eg, eletriptan, sumatriptan), or terfenadine because the risk of side effects, including heart or blood vessel problems, muscle problems, or severe breathing problems, may be increased

  • Alfuzosin because the risk of severe low blood pressure may be increased

  • Rifampin or St. John's wort because they may decrease Aptivus's effectiveness

  • Sildenafil (when used for PAH) because the risk of its side effects may be increased by Aptivus

  • Other HIV protease inhibitors (eg, saquinavir) or omeprazole because their effectiveness may be decreased by Aptivus

  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), antiplatelet medicines (eg, clopidogrel), and many prescription and nonprescription medicines (eg, used for alcohol abuse, asthma, erectile dysfunction, PAH, diabetes, gout, HIV, irregular heartbeat, immune system suppression, infections, inflammation, aches and pains, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, mental or mood problems, nasal allergies, seizures), multivitamin products, and herbal or dietary supplements (eg, herbal teas, coenzyme Q10, garlic, ginseng, ginkgo, St. John's wort, vitamin E) may interact with Aptivus, increasing the risk of side effects

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Aptivus may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Aptivus:


Use Aptivus as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • An extra patient leaflet is available with Aptivus. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.

  • Aptivus is taken at the same time with another medicine called ritonavir. If you are taking Aptivus with ritonavir capsules or solution, it can be taken with or without meals. If you are taking Aptivus with ritonavir tablets, it must be taken with meals.

  • Swallow Aptivus whole. Do not break, crush, or chew before swallowing.

  • If you are also taking didanosine, do not take it within 2 hours of taking Aptivus. Check with your doctor if you have questions.

  • Taking Aptivus at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.

  • Take Aptivus on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.

  • Continue to use Aptivus even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Aptivus and increase the risk that your HIV will no longer be sensitive to Aptivus or to other similar medicines.

  • If you miss a dose of Aptivus, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Aptivus.



Important safety information:


  • Aptivus may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Aptivus with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Aptivus before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • Changes in body fat (eg, an increased amount of fat in the upper back, neck, breast, and trunk, and loss of fat from the legs, arms, and face) may occur in some patients taking Aptivus. The cause and long-term effects of these changes are unknown. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

  • Aptivus may improve immune system function. This may reveal hidden infections in some patients. Tell your doctor right away if you notice symptoms of infection (eg, fever, sore throat, weakness, cough, shortness of breath) after you start Aptivus.

  • When your medicine supply is low, get more from your doctor or pharmacist as soon as you can. Do not stop taking Aptivus, even for a short period of time. If you do, the virus may grow resistant to the medicine and become harder to treat.

  • Aptivus is not a cure for HIV infection. Patients may still get illnesses and infections associated with HIV. Remain under the care of your doctor.

  • Aptivus does not stop the spread of HIV to others through blood or sexual contact. Use barrier methods of birth control (eg, condoms) if you have HIV infection. Do not share needles, injection supplies, or items like toothbrushes or razors.

  • Aptivus may increase triglyceride and lipid levels. The long-term chance of complications from these increased triglyceride and lipid levels, such as heart attack and stroke, are not known at this time.

  • Hemophilia patients - Report all bleeding episodes to your doctor.

  • Aptivus may raise your blood sugar. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.

  • Diabetes patients - Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.

  • Aptivus may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Aptivus. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.

  • Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Aptivus. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).

  • Women who take estrogens for birth control or hormone replacement may have an increased risk of rash from Aptivus. Contact your doctor if you develop a rash.

  • Lab tests, including viral load, CD4 count, triglyceride and lipid levels, and liver function, may be performed while you use Aptivus. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Use Aptivus with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.

  • Caution is advised when using Aptivus in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially rash.

  • Use Aptivus with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 2 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Aptivus while you are pregnant. It is not known if Aptivus is found in breast milk. Mothers infected with HIV should not breast-feed. There is a risk of passing the HIV infection or Aptivus to the baby.


Possible side effects of Aptivus:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Cough; diarrhea; headache; nausea; tiredness; vomiting.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); body fat changes; confusion; dark urine; depression; difficulty urinating; dizziness; excessive hunger, thirst, or urination; fast heartbeat; fever, chills, or sore throat; flu-like symptoms; fruit-like breath odor; itching; joint pain or stiffness; loss of appetite; mental or mood changes; mouth sores or ulcers; muscle pain; numbness or tingling; pale stools; red, blistered, swollen, or peeling skin; severe or persistent nausea; shortness of breath; slurred speech or one-sided weakness; stomach pain or tenderness; throat tightness; unusual bruising or bleeding; unusual drowsiness or tiredness; unusual weakness; vision changes; yellowing of the skin or eyes.
