Exall-D Liquid - Clinical Pharmacology
Antitussive, nasal decongestant, and expectorant actions.
Carbetapentane citrate is a centrally acting non-narcotic antitussive. Carbetapentane citrate
has atropine-like and local anesthetic actions, as well as temporarily controls and suppresses
the cough reflex by selective depression of the medullary cough center. It has no significant
analgesic or sedative properties, does not depress respiration or pre-dispose to addiction with
usual doses.
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is an oral sympathomimetic amine that acts as a nasal
decongestant to respiratory tract mucous membranes. While its vasoconstrictor action is
similar to that of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine has less pressor effect in normotensive adults.
Serum half-life for pseudoephedrine is 6 to 8 hours. Acidic urine is associated with faster
elimination of the drug. About one-half of the administered dose is excreted in the urine.
Pseudoephedrine causes vasoconstriction, which results in reduction of tissue hyperemia,
edema, nasal congestion and an increase in nasal airway patency.
Guaifenesin has an expectorant action, which increases the output of respiratory tract fluid by
reducing adhesiveness and surface tension. By increasing respiratory tract fluid, guaifenesin
reduces the viscosity of secretions, and facilitates expectoration of retained secretions.
Guaifenesin is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly metabolized and
renally excreted. Guaifenesin has a plasma half-life of one hour. The major urinary metabolite
is beta-(2-methoxyphenoxy) lactic acid. Sinus and bronchial drainage is improved and dry,
non-productive coughs become more productive and less frequent. Guaifenesin helps loosen
phlegm (mucus) and thin bronchial secretions to rid the bronchial passageways of bothersome
mucus, drain bronchial tubes, and make coughs more productive.
Indications and Usage for Exall-D Liquid
For temporary relief of productive and non-productive cough accompanying respiratory
tract congestion associated with the common cold, influenza, sinusitis, and bronchitis.
For the relief of eustachian tube congestion. For adjunctive therapy in serous otitis media.
Contraindications
ExallTM-D Liquid is contraindicated in infants and newborns, and in patients with a known
hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients and in patients receiving monoamine oxidase
inhibitor (MAOI) therapy, including 14 days after stopping.
Warnings
General: Before prescribing any medication to suppress or modify cough, it is important
that the underlying cause of the cough is identified. Check with physician if cough persists
after medication has been used for 7 days or if high fever, skin rash, or continued
headache, or sore throat is present with cough. Hypertensive patients should use this
product only with medical advice, as they may experience a change in blood pressure due
to added vasoconstriction.
Sympathomimetic amines should be used judiciously and sparingly in patients with
hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, increased intraocular pressure,
hyperthyroidism or prostatic hypertrophy. Sympathomimetics may produce central nervous
system stimulation with convulsions or cardiovascular collapse with accompanying
hypotension.
Do not exceed recommended dosage.
If a hypertensive crisis occurs, these drugs should be discontinued immediately and therapy
to lower blood pressure should be instituted. Fever should be managed by means of
external cooling.
Information for Patients:
Patients should be instructed to take ExallTM-D Liquid only as prescribed. If nervousness,
dizziness, or sleeplessness occur, discontinue use and consult a physician.
Drug Interactions:
Concurrent use of digitalis glycosides may increase the possibility of cardiac arrhythmias.
Sympathomimetics may reduce the hypotensive effects of guanethidine, mecamylamine,
methyldopa, reserpine and veratrum alkaloids. Concurrent use of tricyclic antidepressants
may antagonize the effects of pseudoephedrine. Use of other vasopressor drugs during
halothane anesthesia may cause serious cardiac arrhythmias.
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions:
Carbetapentane citrate should not be used in patients receiving MAO inhibitors, including
14 days after stopping the MAOI drug. The use of carbetapentane citrate may result in
additive CNS depressant effects when coadministered with alcohol, antihistamines,
psychotropics or other drugs that produce CNS depression.
Guaifenesin may produce an increase in urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and may
therefore interfere with the interpretation of this test for the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome.
It may also falsely elevate the VMA test for catechols. Administration of this drug should be
discontinued 48 hours prior to the collection of urine specimens for such tests.
Pseudoephedrine has additive effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants (hypnotics,
sedatives, tranquilizers, etc.). MAO inhibitors prolong and intensify the anticholinergic
(drying) effects of antihistamines and the overall effects of sympathomimetic agents.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility:
No adequate and well-controlled studies have been conducted to determine whether
the components of ExallTM-D Liquid have a potential for carcinogenesis, mutagenesis,
or impairment of fertility.
Pregnancy:
Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with this
product. It is also not known whether it can cause fetal harm when administered to a
pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. This product should not be
administered to pregnant women.
Nursing Mothers:
Due to the possible passage of the ingredients into breast milk, this product
should not be given to nursing mothers.
Pediatric Use:
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of six have not been
established. Product not intended for administration for children 6 years of age
and under.
Geriatric Use:
Patients aged 60 and older are more likely to experience adverse reactions to
sympathomimetics. Overdosage of sympathomimetics in this age group may cause
hallucinations, convulsions, CNS depression, and death. In general, dose selection
for an elderly patient should be cautious, 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 drug therapy.
Adverse Reactions
Adverse effects associated with carbetapentane citrate are rare, but nausea and/or other
gastrointestinal disturbances sometimes occur.
Hyperreactive individuals may display ephedrine-like reactions such as tachycardia,
palpitations, headache, dizziness or nausea. Sympathomimetics have been associated
with certain untoward reactions including fear, anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, tremor,
weakness, pallor, respiratory difficulty, dysuria, insomnia, hallucinations, convulsions,
CNS depression, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular collapse with hypotension.
Guaifenesin is well tolerated and has a wide margin of safety. Side effects are generally
mild and infrequent. Nausea and vomiting are the most frequently occurring side effects.
Overdosage
Signs and symptoms: Overdosage with carbetapentane citrate may produce central
excitement and mental confusion. Guaifenesin is unlikely to produce toxic effects since
its toxicity is low. When laboratory animals were administered guaifenesin in doses up
to 5g/kg by stomach tube, no toxicity resulted.
In large doses, sympathomimetics may give rise to giddiness, headache, nausea,
vomiting, sweating, thirst, tachycardia, precordial pain, palpitations, difficulty in
micturition, muscular weakness, and tenseness, anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia.
Many patients can present a toxic psychosis with delusions and hallucinations. Some
may develop cardiac arrhythmias, circulatory collapse, convulsions, coma and
respiratory failure.
Treatment: Treatment of acute overdosage should be based upon treating the patient
for the symptoms of overdosage of pseudoephedrine as follows:
If the amount ingested is considered dangerous or excessive, induce vomiting with
ipecac syrup unless the patient is convulsing, comatose, or has lost the gag reflex, in
which case perform gastric lavage using a large bore tube. If indicated, follow with
activated charcoal and a saline cathartic. Precautions against aspiration must be taken,
especially in infants and children. Following emesis, any drug remaining in the stomach
may be absorbed by activated charcoal administered as a slurry with water.
The treatment of overdosage should provide symptomatic and supportive care.
