Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule precautions
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Vomiting: Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule may cause vomiting; the risk appears to be greater when Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule is administered with sorbitol; the influence of the rate and volume of activated Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule administration, ingested substance(s), and/or comorbid conditions on the risk of vomiting is unknown (Chyka 2005). IV antiemetics may be required to reduce the risk of vomiting or to control vomiting to facilitate administration (AACT 1999).
Disease-related concerns:
• Decreased peristalsis: Use with caution in patients with decreased peristalsis.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Ipecac: Ipecac should not be administered routinely in the management of poisoned patients (AACT 2004b). In addition, use may delay the administration of or decrease the effectiveness of activated Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule.
• Cathartics (eg, sorbitol, mannitol, magnesium sulfate): Coadministration of a cathartic is not recommended; cathartics have not been demonstrated to change patient outcome and have no role in the management of the poisoned patient. Cathartics subject the patient to the risk of developing significant fluid and electrolyte abnormalities (AACT 2004a).
Dosage form specific issues:
• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain sodium benzoate/benzoic acid; benzoic acid (benzoate) is a metabolite of benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity (“gasping syndrome”) in neonates; the “gasping syndrome” consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension, and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC 1982); some data suggests that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol derivative with caution in neonates. See manufacturer
What happens if I miss a dose of Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule?
Since Chem Mart Nasal Decongestant Capsule is often taken only when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to take the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
