Duradrin


Generic Name: acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene (a SEET a MIN oh fen, dye KLOR al FEN a zone, EYE soe me THEP teen)

Brand Names: Epidrin, Midrin, Migquin, Migragesic IDA


What is Duradrin (acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer.


Dichloralphenazone is a sedative that slows the central nervous system.


Isometheptene causes narrowing of blood vessels (vasoconstriction).


The combination of acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene is used to treat migraine headaches or severe tension headaches.


Acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Duradrin (acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene)?


Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Tell your doctor if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen. You should not take acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol), dichloralphenazone, isometheptene, or chloral hydrate (Somnote), or if you have glaucoma or if you are also taking sodium oxybate (Xyrem). Do not take more than 5 capsules in 12 hours to treat a migraine, or 8 capsules in 24 hours to treat a tension headache. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other pain, cold, allergy, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP. Do not use acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Duradrin (acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene)?


Do not take this medicine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. Tell your doctor if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen. You should not take this medication if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol), dichloralphenazone, isometheptene, or chloral hydrate (Somnote), or if you have:

  • glaucoma; or




  • if you are also taking sodium oxybate (Xyrem).



To make sure you can safely take acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:


  • liver disease or cirrhosis;

  • kidney disease;


  • coronary artery disease, circulation problems;




  • high blood pressure;




  • stomach ulcer or problems with your esophagus;




  • depression;




  • a history of drug or alcohol addiction; or




  • if you have recently had a stroke or heart attack.




FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. This medication can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby.

Uses For benazepril


Benazepril is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the work load of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Hypertension may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled .


Benazepril works by blocking an enzyme in the body that is necessary to produce a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, the blood vessels relax. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart .


benazepril is available only with your doctor's prescription .


Before Using benazepril


In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For benazepril, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to benazepril or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatrics-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of benazepril in children with hypertension who are 6 to 16 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established in children who are 5 years old and younger .


Geriatric


Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatrics-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of benazepril in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney problems, which may require an adjustment of dose in patients receiving benazepril .


Pregnancy








Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
All TrimestersDStudies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk.
