Imipramine Hydrochloride

MALVERN, Pa., Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo, Inc. (OTCQX: NDOI) announced today the launch of its ADRENALIN® (epinephrine in 0.9% sodium chloride injection) ready-to-use premixed bag, the first and only FDA-approved, manufacturer-prepared epinephrine premixed intravenous (IV) bag. "The first-ever ready-to-use epinephrine premixed bag represents an advancement for both providers and patients thanks to a delivery system that provides greater workflow efficiency, saves time, and reduces the risk of medication error," said Scott Sims, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Endo Injectable Solutions & Generics. "We are proud to provide critical care products like ADRENALIN® bags—ready when and where our customers need them—through our TruDelivery® portfolio." The ADRENALIN® premixed bag is the latest addition to Endo Injectable Solutions' TruDelivery® product line and platform. Ready-to-use products streamline operations for hospitals by eliminating the need to prepare or transfer the product before patient administration. This may reduce waste and costs, optimize convenience and workflow, and reduce the chance for preparation error—all of which support quality patient care. The ADRENALIN® premixed bag does not require compounding, diluting, mixing, or transferring, which may reduce waste. The single-port IV tubing reduces risk of inadvertently adding other medications to bag. The product also has a 24-month shelf life at room temperature. Endo also offers ADRENALIN® (epinephrine injection, USP) in 1 mL single-dose vials and 30 mL multi-dose vials. ADRENALIN® is used in the treatment of hypotension associated with septic shock. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypertension: Because individual response to epinephrine may vary significantly, monitor blood pressure frequently and titrate to avoid excessive increases in blood pressure. Patients receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or antidepressants of the triptyline or imipramine types may experience severe, prolonged hypertension when given epinephrine. Pulmonary Edema: Epinephrine increases cardiac output and causes peripheral vasoconstriction, which may result in pulmonary edema. Cardiac Arrhythmias and Ischemia: Epinephrine may induce cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia in patients, especially patients suffering from coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy. Extravasation and Tissue Necrosis with Intravenous Infusion: Avoid extravasation of epinephrine into the tissues, to prevent local necrosis. When Adrenalin is administered intravenously, check the infusion site frequently for free flow. Blanching along the course of the infused vein, sometimes without obvious extravasation, may be attributed to vasa vasorum constriction with increased permeability of the vein wall, permitting some leakage. This also may progress on rare occasions to superficial slough. Hence, if blanching occurs, consider changing the infusion site at intervals to allow the effects of local vasoconstriction to subside. There is potential for gangrene in a lower extremity when infusions of catecholamine are given in an ankle vein. Antidote for Extravasation Ischemia: To prevent sloughing and necrosis in areas in which extravasation has taken place, infiltrate the area with 10 mL to 15 mL of saline solution containing from 5 mg to 10 mg of phentolamine, an adrenergic blocking agent. Use a syringe with a fine hypodermic needle, with the solution being infiltrated liberally throughout the area, which is easily identified by its cold, hard, and pallid appearance. Sympathetic blockade with phentolamine causes immediate and conspicuous local hyperemic changes if the area is infiltrated within 12 hours. Renal Impairment: Epinephrine constricts renal blood vessels, which may result in oliguria or renal impairment. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Most common adverse reactions to systemically administered epinephrine are headache; anxiety; apprehensiveness; restlessness; tremor; weakness; dizziness; sweating; palpitations; pallor; peripheral coldness; nausea/vomiting; and/or respiratory difficulties. Arrhythmias, including fatal ventricular fibrillation, rapid rises in blood pressure producing cerebral hemorrhage, and angina have occurred. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drugs that counter the pressor effects of epinephrine include alpha blockers, vasodilators such as nitrates, diuretics, antihypertensives, and ergot alkaloids. Drugs that potentiate the effects of epinephrine include sympathomimetics, beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors, clonidine, doxapram, oxytocin, levothyroxine sodium, and certain antihistamines. Drugs that increase the arrhythmogenic potential of epinephrine include beta blockers, cyclopropane and halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetics, antihistamines, exogenous thyroid hormones, diuretics, cardiac glycosides, and quinidine. Observe for development of cardiac arrhythmias. Potassium-depleting drugs, including corticosteroids, diuretics, and theophylline, potentiate the hypokalemic effects of epinephrine. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Elderly patients and pregnant women may be at greater risk of developing adverse reactions when epinephrine is administered parenterally. INDICATION AND USAGE Hypotension associated with Septic Shock Adrenalin is indicated to increase mean arterial blood pressure in adult patients with hypotension associated with septic shock.

PP-EP-US-0024 5 Ramsey Road, Shirley, NY 11747 \\ 1.800.645.1706 F 631.924.1731 \\ A Daiichi Sankyo Group Company Epinephrine Injection, USP 30 mL For intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intravenous use. INDICATIONS AND USAGE Anaphylaxis Emergency treatment of allergic reactions (Type I), including anaphylaxis, which may result from insect stings or bites, foods, drugs, sera, diagnostic testing substances, and other allergens, as well as idiopathic anaphylaxis or exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Hypotension associated with Septic Shock To increase mean arterial blood pressure in adult patients with hypotension associated with septic shock. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS: None. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Incorrect Locations of Injection for Anaphylaxis: Injection into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh (vastus lateralis muscle) is the most appropriate location for administration because of its location, size, and available blood flow. Injection into (or near) smaller muscles, such as in the deltoid, is not recommended. Do not administer repeated injections of epinephrine at the same site, as the resulting vasoconstriction may cause tissue necrosis. Do not inject into buttock, digits, hands, or feet. Serious Infections at the Injection Site: Rare cases of serious skin and soft tissue infections, including necrotizing fasciitis and myonecrosis caused by Clostridia (gas gangrene), have been reported. Extravasation and Tissue Necrosis with Intravenous Infusion: Avoid extravasation into tissues, which can cause local necrosis. When epinephrine is administered intravenously, check the infusion site frequently. Hypertension: Because individual response to epinephrine may vary significantly, monitor blood pressure frequently and titrate to avoid excessive increases in blood pressure. Patients receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors or antidepressants of the triptyline or imipramine types may experience severe, prolonged hypertension. Pulmonary Edema: Epinephrine increases cardiac output and causes peripheral vasoconstriction, which may result in pulmonary edema. Renal Impairment: Epinephrine constricts renal blood vessels, which may result in oliguria or renal impairment. Cardiac Arrhythmias and Ischemia: Epinephrine may induce cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia, especially in patients suffering from coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy. May aggravate angina pectoris or produce ventricular arrhythmias. Allergic Reactions Associated with Sulfite: The Epinephrine 30 mL multiple-dose vial contains sodium metabisulfite, which may cause mild to severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis or asthmatic episodes in susceptible individuals. ADVERSE REACTIONS Common adverse reactions to systemically administered epinephrine include, but are not limited to, anxiety, apprehensiveness, restlessness, tremor, weakness, dizziness, sweating, palpitations, pallor, nausea and vomiting, headache, and respiratory difficulties. These symptoms occur in some persons receiving therapeutic doses of epinephrine, but are more likely to occur in patients with heart disease, hypertension, or hyperthyroidism. The true incidence of adverse reactions associated with the systemic use of epinephrine is difficult to determine. Adverse reactions reported in observational trials, case reports, and studies are listed below by body system: Cardiovascular: Angina, arrhythmias, hypertension, pallor, palpitations, tachyarrhythmia, tachycardia, vasoconstriction, ventricular ectopy, and stress cardiomyopathy. Rapid rises in blood pressure associated with epinephrine use have produced cerebral hemorrhage, particularly in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease. Neurological: Disorientation, impaired memory, panic, psychomotor agitation, sleepiness, tingling. Psychiatric: Anxiety, apprehensiveness, restlessness. Other: Patients with Parkinson's disease may experience psychomotor agitation or a temporary worsening of symptoms. Diabetic patients may experience transient increases in blood sugar. Injection into the buttock has resulted in cases of gas gangrene. Rare cases of serious skin and soft tissue infections, including necrotizing fasciitis and myonecrosis caused by Clostridia (gas gangrene), have been reported following epinephrine injection in the thigh. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Elderly patients and pregnant women may be at greater risk of developing adverse reactions when epinephrine is administered parenterally. Pregnancy May cause fetal harm. Labor or Delivery: There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with epinephrine use during labor or delivery. Epinephrine usually inhibits spontaneous or oxytocin-induced contractions of the pregnant human uterus and may delay the second stage of labor. Avoid epinephrine during the second stage of labor. Although epinephrine may improve maternal hypotension associated with septic shock and anaphylaxis, it may result in uterine vasoconstriction, decreased uterine blood flow, and fetal anoxia. Lactation There is no information regarding the presence of epinephrine in human milk or the effects of epinephrine on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Pediatric Use Reported clinical experience with the use of epinephrine suggests that the adverse reactions seen in children are similar in nature and extent to those both expected and reported in adults. Safety and effectiveness of epinephrine in pediatric patients with septic shock have not been established. Geriatric Use In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. OVERDOSAGE Overdosage of epinephrine may produce extremely elevated arterial pressure, which may result in cerebrovascular hemorrhage, particularly in elderly patients. Overdosage may also result in pulmonary edema, transient bradycardia followed by tachycardia, and these may be accompanied by potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Subsidence of the ventricular effects may be followed by atrial tachycardia and occasionally by atrioventricular block. Myocardial ischemia and infarction, cardiomyopathy, extreme pallor and coldness of the skin, metabolic acidosis due to elevated blood lactic acid levels, and renal insufficiency have also been reported.
