resorcinol Topical


re-SOR-si-nol


Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.


  • DiabetAid Anti-Itch

Available Dosage Forms:


  • Cream

Therapeutic Class: Analgesic


Uses For resorcinol


Resorcinol is used to treat acne, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders. It is also used to treat corns, calluses, and warts.


Resorcinol works by helping to remove hard, scaly, or roughened skin.


Some of these preparations are available only with your doctor's prescription.


Before Using resorcinol


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 resorcinol, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to resorcinol 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.


Pediatric


Resorcinol may be absorbed through the skin and should not be used on large areas of the bodies of infants and children. In addition, resorcinol should not be used on wounds, since doing so may cause a blood disease called methemoglobinemia.


Geriatric


Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of resorcinol in the elderly with use in other age groups, resorcinol is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.


Interactions with Medicines


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. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol


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.


Proper Use of resorcinol


It is very important that you use resorcinol 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 your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of absorption through the skin and the chance of resorcinol poisoning.


Apply enough resorcinol to cover the affected areas, and rub in gently.


Immediately after using resorcinol, wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.


Keep resorcinol away from the eyes. If you should accidentally get some in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.


Dosing


The dose of resorcinol will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of resorcinol. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.


The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.


  • For lotion dosage form:
    • For acne, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis:
      • Adults and children—Use as needed.



  • For ointment dosage form:
    • For acne, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, corns, calluses, or warts:
      • Adults and children—Use and dose must be determined by the doctor.



Missed Dose


If you miss a dose of resorcinol, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.


Storage


Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.


Keep out of the reach of children.


Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.


Precautions While Using resorcinol


When using resorcinol, do not use any of the following preparations on the same affected area as resorcinol, unless otherwise directed by your doctor:


  • Abrasive soaps or cleansers

  • Alcohol-containing preparations

  • Any other topical acne preparation or preparation containing a peeling agent (for example, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or tretinoin [vitamin A acid])

  • Cosmetics or soaps that dry the skin

  • Medicated cosmetics

  • Other topical medicine for the skin

To use any of the above preparations on the same affected area as resorcinol may cause severe irritation of the skin.


resorcinol may darken light-colored hair.


resorcinol Side Effects


Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.


Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:


Less common or rare
  • Skin irritation not present before use of resorcinol

Symptoms of resorcinol poisoning
  • Diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, or vomiting

  • dizziness

  • drowsiness

  • headache (severe or continuing)

  • nervousness or restlessness

  • slow heartbeat, shortness of breath, or troubled breathing

  • sweating

  • unusual tiredness or weakness

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:


More common
  • Redness and peeling of skin (may occur after a few days)

Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.


Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What is Robitussin Head & Chest Congestion (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?

There are many brands and forms of guaifenesin and phenylephrine available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.


Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of guaifenesin and phenylephrine is used to treat stuffy nose and sinus congestion, and to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold or flu.


Guaifenesin and phenylephrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Robitussin Head & Chest Congestion (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


There are many brands and forms of guaifenesin and phenylephrine available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cough, cold, or allergy medicine. Guaifenesin and phenylephrine are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains guaifenesin or phenylephrine.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Robitussin Head & Chest Congestion (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to guaifenesin or phenylephrine, or to other decongestants, diet pills, stimulants, or ADHD medications. Do not use guaifenesin and phenylephrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. Serious, life threatening side effects can occur if you use guaifenesin and phenylephrine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medication if you have:



  • heart disease or high blood pressure;




  • diabetes;




  • circulation problems;




  • glaucoma;




  • overactive thyroid; or




  • enlarged prostate or problems with urination.




It is not known if this medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use this medication without your doctor's advice if you are pregnant. This medication passes into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Artificially-sweetened liquid forms of cold medicine may contain phenylalanine. This would be important to know if you have phenylketonuria (PKU). Check the ingredients and warnings on the medication label if you are concerned about phenylalanine.


How should I take Robitussin Head & Chest Congestion (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Cold medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicine in very young children.

Measure the liquid form of this medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.


Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release tablet or capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Take guaifenesin and phenylephrine with food if it upsets your stomach. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash. Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since cough or cold medicine is taken as 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. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, numbness or tingly feeling, dizziness, and feeling restless or nervous.


What should I avoid while taking Robitussin Head & Chest Congestion (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of guaifenesin and phenylephrine. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cough, cold, or allergy medicine. Guaifenesin and phenylephrine are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains guaifenesin or phenylephrine.

Avoid taking this medication with diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.

Benzamycin Gel


Pronunciation: BEN-zoyl per-OX-ide/eh-RITH-row-MY-sin
Generic Name: Benzoyl Peroxide/Erythromycin
Brand Name: Examples include Benzamycin and Benzamycin Pak


Benzamycin Gel is used for:

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.


Do NOT use Benzamycin Gel if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Benzamycin Gel

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have liver problems or a blood disorder

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Benzamycin Gel. Because little, if any, of Benzamycin Gel is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.


Ask your health care provider if Benzamycin Gel may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

  • Talk with your doctor before you use any other medicines or special cleansers on your skin.

It is not known if Benzamycin Gel is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Benzamycin Gel, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.


Possible side effects of Benzamycin Gel:
