Generic Name: lincomycin (LIN koe mye sin)
Brand Names: Bactramycin, Lincocin
Lincomycin is an antibiotic that fights serious infections caused by bacteria.
Lincomycin is used to treat severe bacterial infections in people who cannot receive penicillin antibiotics.
Lincomycin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before receiving lincomycin, tell your doctor if you have asthma or allergies, a stomach or intestinal disorder such as colitis, liver or kidney disease, or epilepsy or other seizure disorder.
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, call your doctor. Do not use any medicine to stop the diarrhea unless your doctor has told you to.
Serious side effects of lincomycin include fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips, severe blistering or peeling skin rash, feeling like you might pass out, easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness, or urinating less than usual or not at all.
Before receiving lincomycin, tell your doctor if you have:
asthma or allergies;
a stomach or intestinal disorder, such as colitis;
epilepsy or other seizure disorder.
If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to receive lincomycin, or you may need a dose adjustment or special tests during treatment.
Lincomycin is given as an injection into a muscle, or through a needle placed into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be given instructions on how to inject your medicine at home. Do not use this medicine at home if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles and other items used in giving the medicine.
Lincomycin is usually given every 12 to 24 hours. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Use each disposable needle only one time. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your blood may need to be tested on a regular basis. Your kidney or liver function may also need to be tested.
Since lincomycin is usually given by a healthcare professional, it is not likely that you will miss a dose. If you are using lincomycin at home, call your doctor for instructions if you miss a dose.
Tell your caregivers right away if you think you have received too much of this medicine. Overdose symptoms may include chest pain, feeling light-headed, or fainting.
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, call your doctor. Do not use any medicine to stop the diarrhea unless your doctor has told you to.

Generic Name: salicylic acid (Topical route)
sal-i-SIL-ik AS-id
In the U.S.
In Canada
Available Dosage Forms:
Therapeutic Class: Antiacne
Pharmacologic Class: NSAID
Chemical Class: Salicylate, Non-Aspirin
Salicylic acid is used to treat many skin disorders, such as acne, dandruff, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis of the skin and scalp, calluses, corns, common warts, and plantar warts, depending on the dosage form and strength of the preparation.
Some of these preparations are available only with your doctor's prescription.
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 this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine 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.
Young children may be at increased risk of unwanted effects because of increased absorption of salicylic acid through the skin. Also, young children may be more likely to get skin irritation from salicylic acid. Salicylic acid should not be applied to large areas of the body, used for long periods of time, or used under occlusive dressing (air-tight covering, such as kitchen plastic wrap) in infants and children. Salicylic acid should not be used in children younger than 2 years of age.
Elderly people are more likely to have age-related blood vessel disease. This may increase the chance of problems during treatment with this medicine.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain salicylic acid. It may not be specific to Betasal. Please read with care.
It is very important that you use this medicine only as directed. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than recommended on the label, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. To do so may increase the chance of absorption through the skin and the chance of salicylic acid poisoning.
If your doctor has ordered an occlusive dressing (airtight covering, such as kitchen plastic wrap) to be applied over this medicine, make sure you know how to apply it. Since an occlusive dressing will increase the amount of medicine absorbed through your skin and the possibility of salicylic acid poisoning, use it only as directed. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.
Keep this medicine away from the eyes and other mucous membranes, such as the mouth and inside of the nose. If you should accidentally get some in your eyes or on other mucous membranes, immediately flush them with water for 15 minutes.

Treating severe acne. It may be used with other acne medications.
Benzamycin Gel is a combination macrolide antibiotic and keratolytic (drying) agent with antibacterial actions. The effectiveness of benzoyl peroxide appears to be due to its antibacterial, peeling (keratolytic), and drying actions. How topical erythromycin treats acne is not fully known. It is thought that the improvement in acne is due to the ability of topically applied erythromycin to slow the growth on the skin of bacteria that cause the acne.

Recommended for the relief of headache with gastric upset, particularly associated with over-indulgence in food or drink or both.
For oral administration.
Dissolve the contents of the sachet in a glass of water (150 – 200 ml) before taking.
Adults, elderly and children aged 16 years and over:
One sachet every 4 hours as required. Do not take more than 4 sachets in any 24 hours.
Not to be given to children under 16 years of age.
The elderly may take the normal adult dose.
Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Hepatic or severe renal impairment. Patients on sodium-restricted diets. Patients on potassium-restricted diets
Concomitant use of other paracetamol-containing medicines should be avoided. Consult your doctor if you are taking warfarin.
“Sachet warnings: Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well. Do not take with other paracetamol containing products”.
“Carton label: Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage”.
The anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other coumarins may be enhanced by prolonged regular use of paracetamol with increased risk of bleeding. Occasional doses have no significant effect. The hepatototoxicity of paracetamol may be potentiated by excessive intake of alcohol. The speed of absorption of paracetamol may be increased by metaclopramide or domperidone and absorption reduced by colestyramine. These interactions are considered to be of unlikely clinical significance in acute use at the dosage regimen proposed.
The acid neutralising capacity of the product may alter the absorption profile of pH specific drugs given concomitantly.
Studies in human pregnancy have shown no ill effects due to paracetamol used in the recommended dosage, but patients should follow the advice of their doctor regarding its use. Paracetamol is excreted in breast milk but not in a clinically significant amount.
None.
Adverse effects of paracetamol are rare but hypersensitivity including skin rash may occur. There have been reports of blood dyscrasias including thrombocytopenia and agranulocytosis, but these were not necessarily causality related to paracetamol.
Immediate treatment is essential in the management of paracetamol overdose. Despite a lack of significant early symptoms, patients should be referred to hospital urgently for immediate medical attention and any patient who had ingested around 7.5 g or more of paracetamol in the preceding 4 hours should undergo gastric lavage. Administration or oral methionine on intravenous N-acetylcysteine which may have a beneficial effect up to at least 48 hours after the overdose, may be required. General supportive measures must be available.
Symptoms of paracetamol overdosage in the first 24 hours are pallor, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and abdominal pain. Liver damage may become apparent 12 to 48 hours after ingestion. Abnormalities of glucose metabolism and metabolic acidosis may occur. In severe poisoning, hepatic failure may progress to encephalopathy, coma and death. Acute renal failure with acute tubular necrosis may develop even in the absence of severe liver damage. Cardiac arrhythmias and pancreatitis have been reported.
Liver damage is possible in adults who have taken 10 g or more of paracetamol.
ATC code NO2B E01
Paracetamol – antipyretic and mild analgesic actions.
Ascorbic acid – replaces lost Vitamin C.
Citric acid
Sodium bicarbonate
Potassium bicarbonate
Sodium carbonate
Sodium and potassium citrates are formed by effervescent reaction with water. These provide acid neutralising and buffering actions against acidic gastric contents.
Paracetamol is readily and rapidly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract. It is metabolised in the liver and excreted in the urine, mainly as glucuronide and sulphate conjugates.
Ascorbic acid is readily absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and is widely distributed in the body tissues, 25% bound to plasma proteins. Ascorbic acid in excess of the body's needs is eliminated in the urine as metabolites.
Antacid combination provides an immediately available, local buffering effect in the stomach. Absorbed sodium, potassium and citrate ions will be handled and excreted by normal metabolic routes.
Preclinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safety, pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, toxicity to reproduction.
