PREMPRO™,PREMPHASE® (conjugated estrogens/medroxyprogesterone acetate) Tablets

Brand names Premphase®, Prempro®

USES:
This medication is used to reduce menopause symptoms. It helps reduce episodes of flushing and sweating of the upper body and face, commonly called hot flashes. It also helps treat dryness, itching, and burning around the vagina. These symptoms occur when a woman’s body no longer makes the usual amount of female hormone (estrogen). This medication is a combination of 2 types of female hormones: estrogen (conjugated estrogens) and a progestin (medroxyprogesterone). A progestin is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. A woman who has had her uterus removed does not need progestin and should not be treated with this combination medication.

If you need treatment only for vaginal menopause symptoms, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected.

This medication may also be used to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) in people at high risk who cannot take other drugs that are safe and effective to prevent or treat bone loss (e.g., raloxifene, bisphosphonates such as alendronate). These medicines should be considered for use before estrogen/progestin HRT therapy for osteoporosis.

PRAVACHOL® (pravastatin sodium) Tablets

PRAVACHOL 10 MG TABLET

PRAVACHOL® (pravastatin sodium) is one of a class of lipid-lowering compounds, the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, which reduce cholesterol biosynthesis. These agents are competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the enzyme catalyzing the early rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis, conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate.

Adult Patients

The recommended starting dose is 40 mg once daily. If a daily dose of 40 mg does not achieve desired cholesterol levels, 80 mg once daily is recommended. In patients with a history of significant renal or hepatic dysfunction, a starting dose of 10 mg daily is recommended.

Adult Min/Max Dose: 5.0mg/80.0mg

Concomitant Therapy

The lipid-lowering effects of PRAVACHOL on Total- and LDL-cholesterol are enhanced when combined with a bile-acid-binding resin. When administering a bile-acid-binding resin (e.g., cholestyramine, colestipol) and pravastatin, PRAVACHOL should be given either 1 hour or more before or at least 4 hours following the resin.

Plan B® (levonorgestrel) Tablets, 0.75 mg

PLAN B 0.75 MG TABLET

Birth Control

Available without a prescription for consumers 18 and older. Rx only for women age 17 and younger

For women age 17 and younger, Plan B® is a prescription-only emergency contraceptive that can be used to prevent pregnancy following unprotected intercourse or a known or suspected contraceptive failure. To obtain optimal efficacy, the first tablet should be taken as soon as possible within 72 hours of intercourse. The second tablet must be taken 12 hours later.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

One tablet of Plan B® should be taken orally as soon as possible within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. The second tablet should be taken 12 hours after the first dose. Efficacy is better if Plan B® is taken as directed as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. Plan B® can be used at any time during the menstrual cycle.

The user should be instructed that if she vomits within one hour of taking either dose of medication she should contact her health care professional to discuss whether to repeat that dose.

How can I get the best results from Plan B®?

You have only a few days to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Plan B® works better the sooner you take it. Take the first Plan B® tablet as soon as possible but not later than 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex. Take the second tablet 12 hours later.

How effective is Plan B®?

Plan B® works best the sooner you use it. If it is taken within 72 hours (3 days) after sex, it will significantly decrease the chance that you will get pregnant. Seven out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant. Plan B® works even better than this if taken within the first 24 hours after sex.

How will I know if Plan B® worked?

Most women will have their next menstrual period at the expected time or within a week of the expected time. If your menstrual period is delayed beyond 1 week, you may be pregnant and you should get a pregnancy test and follow up with your healthcare professional.
