Type of Drug
Antispasmodic and anticholinergic.
Prescribed For
Irritable bowel, spastic colon, and similar digestive problems; also prescribed for colic in children over age 6 months.
General Information
Dicyclomine hydrochloride has been used for many years to calm “nervous stomach.” It and other anticholinergics work by blocking the effects of the neurohormone acetylcholine in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This reduces the mobility of the GI tract and slows the production of enzymes and other secretions.
Cautions and Warnings
Do not take dicyclomine if you are allergic or sensitive to any of its ingredients.
Dicyclomine should not be used by those with obstructive disease of the GI or urinary tract, severe ulcerative colitis, reflux esophagitis, acute bleeding with unstable heart function, myasthenia gravis, or glaucoma.
Dicyclomine should not be used in infants less than age 6 months or by breastfeeding mothers.
This drug should be used with caution if you have heart disease, Down’s syndrome, spastic paralysis, reduced mobility of the stomach and lower esophagus, fever, urinary difficulties, enlarged prostate, hiatal hernia, intestinal paralysis, kidney or liver disease, rapid heartbeat, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), high blood pressure, or ulcerative colitis.
Dicyclomine reduces your ability to sweat and may lead to heat exhaustion and heatstroke, which can be life-threatening. Avoid extended heavy exercise and limit your exposure to high temperatures.
Anticholinergenic psychosis has been reported by those taking anticholinergenics, but it usually resolves within 24 hours after discontinuation of the drug.
Possible Side EfferkS
♦ Common: dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, and lightheadedness.
V Less common: drowsiness, weakness, nervousness, constipation, and decreased sweating.
Possible Side Effects (continued)
♦ Rare: drug allergy (symptoms include rash, itching, lives,
and breathing difficulties), confusion, eye pain, dizziness
when rising quickly from a sitting or lying position, a bloated
feeling, difficult or painful urination, headache, memory
loss, and vomiting. Contact your doctor if you experience
any side effect not listed above.
Drug Interactions
• Antacids containing calcium or magnesium, citrates, sodium bicarbonate, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drugs may increase dicyclomine’s therapeutic effect and side effects.
• Combining dicyclomine with other anticholinergic drugs including atropine, belladonna, clidinium, glycopyrrolate, hyoscyamine, isopropamide, propantheline, and scopolamine may intensify side effects.
• Dicyclomine may reduce stomach acidity and blood levels of oral ketoconazole (an antifungal).
• Dicyclomine may decrease the therapeutic effects of anti-glaucoma medications. Taking dicyclomine with corticosteroids used to treat glaucoma may be hazardous.
• Dicyclomine may counteract the effect of metoclopramide in reducing nausea and vomiting.
• Taking dicyclomine with a narcotic pain reliever may cause severe constipation.
• Taking this or any drug that slows the movement of stomach and intestinal muscles with a potassium chloride supplement –especially one in wax-matrix tablet form—may lead to excessive irritation of the stomach.
• Combining dicyclomine with amantadine, certain drugs to control heart rhythm, antihistamines, nitrates or nitrites, may increase dicyclomine side effects.
• Dicyclomine may increase the effects of atenolol and digoxin.
• Pftn0hiazine drugs, monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants may increase side effects of dicyclomine. The effectiveness of phenothiazines to control psychotic symptoms may be decreased.
Food Interactions
Take dicyclomine on an empty stomach, a half hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
Usual Dose
Adult: 80-160 mg a day in 4 divided doses. Seniors should receive the lowest possible dosage and increase only as needed. Child (age 2 and over): 5-10 mg 3-4 times a day.
Child (age 6 months-2 years): 5-10 mg of syrup 3-4 times a day. Child (under 6 months): not recommended.
Overdosage

Take the victim to a hospital emergency room at once. ALWAYS bring the prescription bottle or container.
Special Information
Children taking dicyclomine may be more likely to develop high body temperature in hot weather and other side effects and should be carefully watched for side effects. Dicyclomine should not be given to infants or children unless the doctor decides that its use is absolutely necessary.
Call your doctor if you develop diarrhea, rash, flushing, eye pain, dry mouth, urinary difficulties, constipation, increased sensitivity to light, or any bothersome or persistent side effect.
Brush and floss your teeth regularly while taking this drug. Because dicyclomine may cause dry mouth, you may be more likely to develop cavities or other dental problems. Ice or hard candy may relieve dry mouth.
Constipation may be treated by using a laxative.
Dicyclomine may make you drowsy or tired and cause blurred vision. Be careful when driving or doing any task that requires concentration.
If you forget take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you forgot and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
Special Populations
Pregnancy/Breast-feeding: A few cases of human malformation were linked to dicyclomine, but studies have shown that the drug has no effect on the fetus. When this drug is considered crucial by your doctor, its potential benefits must be carefully weighed against its risks.
Dicyclomine can reduce the amount of milk produced. Infants given dicyclomine may faint, go limp, and develop breathing problems and seizures. Nursing mothers who must take this drug should use infant formula.

Generic Name
Digoxin (dih-JOX-in) A
Brand Names Digitek
Lanoxicaps
Lanoxin
Type of Drug Cardiac glycoside.
Prescribed For
Congestive heart failure (CHF) and other heart conditions involving a very rapid heartbeat.
General Information
Digoxin works directly on heart muscle. It improves the heart’s pumping ability or helps to control its beating rhythm. People with heart failure often develop swelling of the lower legs, feet, and ankles; digoxin improves these symptoms by improving blood cir-
Digoxin is generally used as part of the lifelong treatment of CHF.
Cautions and Warnings
Do not use digoxin if you are allergic or sensitive to it. Digoxin allergies are rare.
Digoxin should not be used in people with ventricular fibril-
lation.
Digoxin should be used with caution in people with sick sinus
syndrome or incomplete AV block, as it may cause a worsening of these conditions.
Digoxin has been used to treat obesity. The risk of fatal heart rhythms associated with such treatment makes it extremely dangerous as weight-loss medication. Many heart disease symptoms may be associated with digoxin. Report any unusual side effects to your doctor at once.
Kidney disease may increase blood levels of digoxin. Your dosage may need adjustment.
Long-term use of digoxin may cause the body to lose potassium, especially since it is generally used in combination with diuretics (agents that increase urination). For this reason, be sure to eat a balanced diet and high-potassium foods—bananas, citrus fruits, melons, and tomatoes.
Digoxin should be used with caution in people with electrolyte disorders.
Digoxin requirements vary with thyroid status. If you are taking digoxin and your thyroid status changes, your doctor will have to alter your digoxin dosage.
Possible Side Effects
Adult and Senior
♦ Common: dizziness, headache, nausea, and diarrhea.
✓ Less common: appetite loss, vomiting, weakness, apathy, drowsiness, blurred or yellow-tinted vision, seeing halos around bright lights, depression, psychoses, confusion or disorientation, restlessness, hallucinations, delirium, seizure, nerve pain, abnormal heart rhythms, and slow pulse.
✓ Rare: Enlargement of the breasts has been reported after long-term use of digoxin. Contact your doctor if you experience any side effect not listed above.
Child
T Children are more likely to develop abnormal heart rhythms before they see yellow or green halos or spots and before they develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain. Any abnormal heart rhythms that develop while a child is taking digoxin should be assumed to be a side effect.
Drug Interactions
• Drugs that may increase the effect of digoxin are alprazolam, amiloride aminoglycoside antibiotics, amiodarone, anticholinergic drugs, benzodiazepines, captopril, clarithromycin, diltiazem, diphenoxylate, dipyridamole, erythromycin, esmolol, felodipine, flecainide, hydroxychloroquine, ibuprofen, indomethacin, itraconazole, nifedipine, nitrendipine, omeprazole, propafenone, propantheline, quinidine, quinine, spironolactone, tetracycline, tolbutamide, triamterene, and verapamil.
• Drugs that may decrease blood levels of digoxin include aminoglutethimide, aminoglycosides, aminosalicylic acid, antacids, anti-cancer combinations, antidiabetes medication, antihistamines, barbiturates, cholestyramine, colestipol, cyclosporine, kaolin-pectin mixtures, metoclopramide, oral kanamycin, oral neomycin, oral sulfonylureas, phenylbutazone, phenytoin and related anti-seizure drugs, rifampin, St. John’s wort, sucralfate, and sulfasalazine.
• Disopyramide may alter the effects of digoxin, although the exact interaction is not well understood.
• Thiazide and loop diuretics, furosemide, ethacrynic acid, and bumetanide increase digoxin’s effect and increase the risk of side effects.
• Spironolactone may increase or decrease the side effects of digoxin; amiloride may reduce the effect of digoxin on the force of heart contraction.
• The effects of digoxin on the heart may be additive to those of ephedrine, epinephrine and other stimulants, beta blockers, calcium salts, procainamide, and rauwolfia drugs.
• Digoxin dosage must be adjusted when it is combined with a thyroid drug.
Food Interactions
These drugs may generally be taken without regard to meals. Taking your medication after a high-fiber meal reduces the amourxtcil drug absorbed into your blood.
Usual OQSS
Adult and Child (age 10 and over): starting dosage—known as the digitalizing or loading dose—is about 4-7 mcg per lb. of body weight. Digitalization may also be accomplished with a lower dosage over 7 days. Maintenance dosage 0.125-0.5 mg; it must be corrected for kidney function. For seniors, a lower dosage is required.
Child (under age 1o): starting dosage-5-30 mcg per lb. of body weight. Maintenance dosage-20-35% of the starting dosage. Careful measurement of your child’s digoxin dosage is crucial to safe and effective treatment.

Senior: Vomiting, diarrhea, and eye trouble are frequently seen. Child: An early sign is a change in heart rhythms.
Call your doctor immediately if any of these symptoms appear. Take the victim to a hospital emergency room. ALWAYS bring the prescription bottle or container.
Special Information
Take each day’s dose at the same time of day.
Do not stop taking digoxin without your doctor’s knowledge.
Lanoxicaps are better absorbed than tablet forms of digoxin. For this reason, each dose of Lanoxicaps is slightly lower than the corresponding digoxin tablet.

When your doc-tor considers this drug crucial, its potential benefits must be care-
fully weighed against its risks.
Small amounts of digoxin pass into breast milk. Nursing mothers who take digoxin should use infant formula.
Seniors: Seniors are more sensitive to digoxin’s effects, especially appetite loss. Seniors with impaired renal function may need lower
dosages.
Generic Name
Diltiazem (dil-TYE-uh-zem) 92
Brand Names
Cardizem Dilt-CD
Cardizem CD Diltia XT
Cardizem LA Diltzac
Cartia XT Taztia XT
Dilator XR Tiazac
Type of Drug
Calcium channel blocker.
Prescribed For
Angina pectoris, chronic stable angina, Raynaud’s disease, prevention of second heart attacks, tardive dyskinesia (severe side effects associated with antipsychotic and other drugs), and hypertension (high blood pressure).
General Information
Diltiazem hydrochloride is one of many calcium channel blockers available in the U.S. These drugs block the passage of calcium, an essential factor in muscle contraction, into the heart and smooth muscles. Such blockage of calcium interferes with the contraction of these muscles, which in turn dilates (widens) the veins and ves sels that supply blood to them. This ditatk”q effect reduces blood pressure, the amount 0 Oxygen used by the heart muscle, and the ~1A 0 blood vessel spasm. Diltiazem is therefore useful in treating not only hypertension but also angina pectoris, a condition related to poor oxygen supply to the heart muscle and characterized by brief attacks of chest pain.
Diltiazem affects the movement of calcium only into muscle cells; it has no effect on calcium in the blood.
Cautions and Warnings
Do not take d,1taz&m1f you are allergic or sensitive to any of its
ingredients.
Diltiazem can slow your heart and interfere with normal electrical conduction. For people with a condition called sick sinus syndrome, this can result in temporary heart stoppage.
Diltiazem should not be taken if you are having a heart attack or if you have lung congestion. Diltiazem should be taken with caution by people with heart failure because it can worsen that condition.
Low blood pressure may occur, especially in people also taking a beta blocker.
Studies have shown that people taking calcium channel blockers—usually those taken several times a day, not those taken once daily—have a greater chance of having a heart attack than people taking beta blockers or another medicine for the same purposes. Discuss this with your doctor to be sure you are receiving the best possible treatment.
Diltiazem can cause severe liver damage and should be taken with caution if you have had hepatitis or any other liver condition.
Caution should also be exercised if you have a history of kidney problems, although no clear tendency toward causing kidney damage is seen with this drug.
Possible Side Effects
♦ Common: dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, head-
ache, and fluid accumulation in the hands, legs, or feet.
✓ Less common: low blood pressure, fainting, increase or decrease in heart rate, abnormal heart rhythm, heart failure, nervousness, fatigue, nausea, rash, tingling in the hands or feet, hallucinations, temporary memory loss, difficulty sleeping, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, upset stomach, itching, unusual sensitivity to sunlight, paxnlu) or stiff joints, liver inflammation, and increased urination, especially at night.
Drug Interactions
• Diltiazem taken with a beta-blocking drug for hypertension is usually well tolerated, but may lead to heart failure in people with already weakened hearts.
• Calcium channel blockers, including diltiazem, may add to
the effects of digoxin. This effect is not observed with any
consistency, however, and only affects people with a large
amount of digoxin already in their systems.
• Cimetidine and ranitidine increase the amount of diltiazem in the bloodstream and may account for a slight increase in the drug’s effect.
• Diltiazem may increase blood levels of cyclosporine, carbamazepine, encainide, and theophylline, and thus increase the chance of side effects from these drugs.
• Diltiazem may cause a decrease in blood lithium levels, possibly undermining lithium’s antimanic effect.
• Calcium channel blockers may cause bleeding when taken alone or combined with aspirin.
Food Interactions
Diltiazem is best taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.
Usual Dose
Immediate-Release Products 30-60 mg 4 times a day.

Overdosage
Symptoms of diltiazem overdose are very low blood pressure and reduced heart rate. Overdose victims must be made to vomit with 1J)8C2c syrup—available at any pharmacy—within 30 minutes of taking the overdose. Do not induce vomiting if the victim has fainted or is convulsing. If overdose symptoms have developed or more than 30 minutes have passed, vomiting is of little value. Take the victim to a hospital emergency room immediately. ALWAYS bring the prescription bottle or container.
Special information
Call your doctor if you develop any of the following symptoms! swelling of the hands, legs, or feet-, severe dizziness; constipation or nausea; or very low blood pressure.
Do not open, chew, or crush sustained-release capsules of
diltiazem.
