AVOCAINE SPRAY ®GeneralLidocaine 10% w/wDescriptionEach gram of Avocaine 10% spray contains 100mg of Lidocaine base (10mg/dose)PropertiesPharmacodynamicAvocaine 10% Spray, like other local anesthetics, causes a reversible blockade of impulse propagation along nerve fibers by preventing the inward movement of sodium ions through the nerve membrane. Local anesthetics of the amide-type are thought to act within the sodium channels of the nerve membrane. Local anesthetics drugs may also have similar effects on excitable membranes in the brain and myocardium. If excessive amounts of the drug reach the systemic circulation rapidly, symptoms and signs of toxicity appear, emanating from the central nervous and cardiovascular system. Central nervous system toxicity usually precedes the cardiovascular effects since it occurs at lower plasma concentrations. Direct effects of local anesthetics on the heart include slow conduction, negative inotropism and eventually cardiac arrest.PharmacokineticLidocaine is absorbed following topical administration to mucous membranes; its rate and extent of absorption being dependent upon the concentration and total dose administered, the specific site of application, and duration of exposure. In general, the rate of absorption of local anesthetic agents following topical application is most rapid after intratracheal and bronchial administration. Lidocaine is also well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, although little of the intact drug appears in the circulation because of biotransformation in the liver. The plasma protein binding of lidocaine is dependent on the drug concentration, and the fraction bound decreases with increasing concentration. At concentrations of 1 to 4 microgram of free base per ml, 60 to 80 percent of lidocaine is protein-bound. Binding is also dependent on the plasma concentration of the alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. Lidocaine crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers, presumably by passive diffusion. Lidocaine is metabolised rapidly by the liver, and metabolites and unchanged drug are excreted by the kidneys. Biotransformation includes oxidative N-dealkylation, ring hydroxylation, cleavage of the amide linkage and conjugation. N-dealkylation, a major pathway of biotransformation, yields the metabolites monoethylglycinexylidide and glycinexylidide. The pharmacological/toxicological actions of these metabolites are similar to, but less potent than, those of lidocaine. Approximately 90% of lidocaine administered is excreted in the form of various metabolites, and less than 10% is excreted unchanged. The primary metabolite in urine is a conjugate of 4-hydroxy-2, 6-dimethylaniline. The elimination half-life of lidocaine following an intravenous bolus injection is typically 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Because of the rapid rate at which lidocaine is metabolised, any condition that affects liver function may alter lidocaine kinetics. The half-life may be prolonged two-fold or more in patients with liver dysfunction. Renal dysfunction does not affect lidocaine kinetics but may increase the accumulation of metabolites. Factors such as acidosis and the use of CNS stimulants and depressants affect the CNS levels of lidocaine required to produce overt systemic effects. Objective adverse manifestations become increasingly apparent with increasing venous plasma levels above 6.0 microgram free base per ml.IndicationsFor the prevention of pain associated with the following procedures:Dental Practice

Before injections, dental impression, X-ray photography, removal of calculus. Introduction of instruments, tubes and catheters into the respiratory and digestive tract Provides surface anesthesia for the oropharyngeal and tracheal areas to reduce reflex activity, attenuate hemodynamic response and to facilitate insertion of the tube or the passage of instruments during endotracheal intubation, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy and oesophagoscopy. ObstetricsDuring the final stages of delivery and before episiotomy and perineal suturing as supplementary pain control.Otorhinolaryngology – Puncture of the maxillary sinus and minor surgical procedures in the nasal cavity, pharynx and epipharynx. - Paracentesis. ContraindicationsKnown history of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type or to any other components of the spray solution.Side EffectsIn extremely rare cases amide-type local anesthetic preparations have been associated with allergic reactions (in the most severe instances anaphylactic shock). Local irritation at the application site has been described. Following application to laryngeal mucosa before endotracheal intubation, reversible symptoms such as “sore throat”, “hoarseness” and “loss of voice” have been reported. The use of Avocaine 10% Spray provides surface anesthesia during an endotracheal procedure but does not prevent post-intubation soreness. Systemic adverse reactions are rare and may result from high plasma levels due to excessive dosage or rapid absorption (e.g. following application to areas below the vocal chords) or from hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy or reduced tolerance on the part of the patient. Such reactions involve the central nervous system and/or the cardiovascular system. CNS reactions are excitatory and/or depressant and may be characterized by nervousness, dizziness, convulsions, unconsciousness and possibly respiratory arrest. The excitatory reactions may be very brief or may not occur at all, in which case the first manifestations of toxicity may be drowsiness, merging into unconsciousness and respiratory arrest. Cardiovascular reactions are depressant and may be characterized by hypotension, myocardial depression, bradycardia and possibly cardiac arrest.PrecautionsExcessive dosage or short intervals between doses, may result in high plasma levels and serious adverse effects. Absorption from wound surfaces and mucous membranes is relatively high, especially in the bronchial tree. Avocaine 10% Spray should be used with caution in patients with traumatized mucosa and/or sepsis in the region of the proposed application. If the dose or site of administration is likely to result in high blood levels, Avocaine 10% Spray, in common with other local anesthetics, should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy, cardiovascular disease and heart failure, impaired cardiac conduction, bradycardia, severe renal dysfunction, impaired hepatic function and in severe shock. Avocaine 10% Spray should also be used with caution in the elderly and patients in poor general health. In paralyzed patients under general anesthesia, higher blood concentrations may occur than in spontaneously breathing patients. Unanalyzed patients are more likely to swallow a large proportion of the dose, which then undergoes considerable first-pass hepatic metabolism following absorption from the gut. The oropharyngeal use of topical anesthetic agents may interfere with swallowing and thus enhance the danger of aspiration. This is particularly important in children because of their frequency of eating. Numbness of the tongue or buccal mucosa may increase the danger of biting trauma. Avoid contact with the eyes. Patients treated with antiarrhythmic drugs class III (e.g. amiodarone) should be under close surveillance and ECG monitoring considered, since cardiac effects may be additive. Avocaine 10% Spray should not be used on cuffs of endotracheal tubes (ETT) made of plastic. Avocaine 10% Spray base in contact with both PVC and non-PVC cuffs of endotracheal tubes may cause damage of the cuff. This damage is described as pinholes, which may cause leakage that could lead to pressure loss in the cuff.Pregnancy and LactationIn considering that a large number of pregnant women and women of child-bearing age have been given lidocaine. No specific disturbances to the reproductive process have so far been reported, e.g. no increased incidence of malformations. Like other local anesthetics lidocaine may enter the mother's milk, but in such small amounts that there is generally no risk of this affecting the neonate.Effects on ability to drive and use machinesDepending on the dose, local anesthetics may have a very mild effect on mental function and may temporarily impair locomotion and coordination.OverdosageAcute systemic toxicityToxic reactions originate mainly in the central nervous and the cardiovascular systems. Central nervous system toxicity is a graded response with symptoms and signs of escalating severity. The first symptoms are circumoral paraesthesia, numbness of the tongue, light-headedness, hyperacusis and tinnitus. Visual disturbance and muscular tremors are more serious and precede the onset of generalized convulsions. Unconsciousness and grand mal convulsions may follow, which may last from a few seconds to several minutes. Hypoxia and hypercarbia occur rapidly following convulsions due to the increased muscular activity, together with the interference with normal respiration. In severe cases, apnea may occur. Acidosis increases the toxic effects of local anesthetics. Cardiovascular effects are only seen in cases with high systemic concentrations. Severe hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmia and cardiovascular collapse may be the result in such cases. Cardiovascular toxic effects are generally preceded by signs of toxicity in the central nervous system, unless the patient is receiving a general anesthetic or is heavily sedated with drugs such as a benzodiazepine or barbiturate. Recovery is due to redistribution and metabolism of the local anesthetic drug from the central nervous system. Recovery may be rapid unless large amounts of the drug have been administered. Treatment of acute toxicityThe objectives of treatment are to maintain oxygenation, stop convulsions and support the circulation. The necessary drugs and equipment should be immediately available. Ventilation should be maintained with oxygen by assisted or controlled respiration as required. An anticonvulsant should be given i.v. if the convulsions do not stop spontaneously in 15–20 sec. Thiopentone 100-150mg i.v. will abort the convulsions rapidly. Alternatively, diazepam 5-10mg i.v. may be used, although its action will be slow. Suxamethonium will stop the muscle convulsions rapidly, but will require tracheal intubation and artificial ventilation, and should only be used by those familiar with these procedures. If cardiovascular depression is evident (hypotension, bradycardia), ephedrine 5–10 mg i.v. should be given and repeated, if necessary, after 2–3 minutes. Should circulatory arrest occur, immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be instituted. Optimal oxygenation and ventilation and circulatory support as well as treatment of acidosis are of vital importance, since hypoxia and acidosis will increase the systemic toxicity of local anesthetics. Adrenaline 0.1-0.2 mg as intravenous or intracardiac injections should be given as soon as possible and repeated if necessary. Children should be given doses commensurate with their age and weightDrug InteractionsAvocaine 10% Spray should be used in caution with patients receiving agents structurally related to local anesthetics, e.g. tocainide, since the toxic effects are additive.Dosage AdministrationAvocaine 10% Spray is intended for use on mucous membranes and provides efficient surface anesthesia, which lasts for approximately 10-15 minutes. The anesthesia usually occurs within 1-5minutes, depending on the area of application. The following dosage

recommendations should be regarded as a guide; the clinician's experience and knowledge of the patient's physical status are of importance in calculating the proper required dose. As with any local anesthetic, reactions and complications are best averted by employing the minimal effective dosage. Debilitated or elderly patients and children over 12 years should be given doses commensurate with their age and physical condition. In children less than 12 years of age the dose should not exceed 3mg/Kg. and when used mainly in the larynx and trachea the dose should be reduced to 1.5 mg/Kg. In children less than 3 years of age less concentrated lidocaine solutions are recommended. Each activation of the metered dose valve delivers 10 mg lidocaine base. It is unnecessary to dry the site prior to application. No more than 20 spray applications should be used in any adult to produce the desired anesthetic effect. The number of sprays depend on the extent of the area to be anaesthetized. Dental practice 1–5 applications to the mucous membranes. Otorhinolaryngology 3 applications for puncture of the maxillary sinus. During delivery Up to 20 applications (200 mg lidocaine base). Introduction of instruments and catheters into the respiratory and digestive tract Up to 20 applications (200 mg lidocaine base) for procedures in pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

AVOCIN 1% ®General(clindamycin phosphate topical solution, concentration equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per 1 ml alcohol and water solution.CompositionAVOCIN 1% Topical Solution and AVOCIN 1% Topical solution contain clindamycin phosphate, at a concentration equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per milliliter.AVOCIN 1% Topical Solution applicator is designed to provide facility to use the medication.Clindamycin Phosphate molecule:

Proper Name: Clindamycin Phosphate molecular weight is 504.97 g/mol.PropertiesClindamycin is a white to off-white, hygroscopic, crystalline powder. Clindamycin phosphate is a water soluble ester of the semi-synthetic antibiotic produced by a 7(S)-chloro-substitution of the 7(R)-hydroxyl group of the parent antibiotic lincomycin. The solution contains isopropyl alcohol , propylene glycol, and water as solvent. The chemical name for clindamycin phosphate is Methyl 7-chloro-6,7,8-trideoxy-6-(1-methyl-trans-4-propyl-L-2-pyrrolidinecarboxamido)-1-thio-L-threo-α-D galactooctopyranoside 2-(dihydrogen phosphate).Although clindamycin phosphate is inactive in vitro, rapid in vivo hydrolysis converts this compound to the anti bacterially active clindamycin. Cross resistance has been demonstrated between clindamycin and lincomycin. Antagonism has been demonstrated between clindamycin and erythromycin.Safety of clindamycin in in vivo concentrations:Following multiple topical applications of clindamycin phosphate at a concentration equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per mL in an isopropyl alcohol and water solution, very low levels of clindamycin are present in the serum (0–3 ng/mL) and less than 0.2% of the dose is recovered in urine as clindamycin. Clindamycin activity has been demonstrated in comedones from acne patients. The mean concentration of antibiotic activity in extracted comedones after application of AVOCIN 1% Topical Solution for 4 weeks was 597 mcg/g of comedonal material (range 0–1490). Clindamycin in vitro inhibits all Propionibacterium acnes cultures tested (MICs 0.4mcg/mL).Free fatty acids on the skin surface have been decreased from approximately 14% to 2% following application of clindamycin.IndicationsAVOCIN 1% Topical Solution is indicated in the treatment of acne vulgaris.In view of the potential for diarrhea, bloody diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis, the physician should consider whether other agents are more appropriate.(See CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS and Side effects.)ContraindicationsAVOCIN 1% Topical Solution, is contraindicated in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to preparations containing clindamycin or lincomycin, a history of regional enteritis or ulcerative colitis, or a history of antibiotic-associated colitis.Side EffectsIn 18 clinical studies of various formulations of AVOCIN 1% using placebo vehicle and/or active comparator drugs as controls, patients experienced a number of treatment emergent adverse dermatologic events. Number of Patients Reporting Events Orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been associated with severe colitis which may end fatally. Cases of diarrhea, bloody diarrhea and colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) have been reported as adverse reactions in patients treated with oral and parenteral formulations of clindamycin and rarely with topical clindamycin.Abdominal pain and gastrointestinal disturbances as well as gram-negative folliculitis have also been reported in association with the use of topical formulations of clindamycin.PrecautionsOrally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been associated with severe colitis which may result in patient death.

Use of the topical formulation of clindamycin results in absorption of the antibiotic from the skin surface. Diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) have been reported with the use of topical and systemic clindamycin.Studies indicate a toxin(s) produced by clostridia is one primary cause of antibioticassociated colitis. The colitis is usually characterized by severe persistent diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps and may be associated with the passage of blood and mucus.Endoscopic examination may reveal pseudomembranous colitis.Stool culture for Clostridium difficile and stool assay for C. difficile toxin may be helpful diagnostically. When significant diarrhea occurs, the drug should be discontinued. Large bowel endoscopy should be considered to establish a definitive diagnosis in cases of severediarrhea.Antiperistaltic agents such as opiates and diphenoxylate with atropine may prolong and/or worsen the condition. Vancomycin has been found to be effective in the treatment of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis produced by Clostridium difficile.The usual adult dosage is 500 milligrams to 2 grams of vancomycin orally per day in three to four divided doses administered for 7 to 10 days. Cholestyramine or colestipol resins bind vancomycin in vitro. If both a resin and vancomycin are to be administered concurrently, it may be advisable to separate the time of administration of each drug. Diarrhea, colitis, and pseudomembranous colitis have been observed to begin up to several weeks following cessation of oral and parenteral therapy with clindamycin.GeneralAVOCIN 1% Topical Solution contains an alcohol base which will cause burning and irritation of the eye. In the event of accidental contact with sensitive surfaces (eye, abraded skin, mucous membranes), bathe with copious amounts of cool tap water. The solution has an unpleasant taste and caution should be exercised when applying medication around the mouth.AVOCIN 1% should be prescribed with caution in atopic individuals.Pregnancy and LactationPregnancy: Teratogenic effects—Pregnancy Category BReproduction studies have been performed in rats and mice using subcutaneous and oral doses of clindamycin ranging from 100 to 600 mg/kg/day and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to clindamycin. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.It is not known whether clindamycin is excreted in human milk following use of AVOCIN 1%. However, orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been reported to appear in breast milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness in pediatric patients under the age of 12 have not been established.Geriatric UseClinical studies for Avocin 1% did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.Drug InteractionsClindamycin has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore it should be used with caution in patients receiving such agents.Dosage AdministrationApply a thin film of AVOCIN 1% Topical Solution, twice daily to affected area. Keep in a tightly closed container.StorageStore at controlled room temperature 15°c to 30°C.Protect from freezing.PackagingAVOCIN 1% Topical Solution containing clindamycin phosphate equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per milliliter is available in:30 ml applicator bottle.

AVOCIN VAGINAL CREAM ®CompositionAvocin VC contains the following per gram: Clindamycin phosphate equivalent to clindamycin base: 20 mgBenzyl alcohol (preservative): 1%m/mPropertiesPharmacological Action Clindamycin phosphate is a synthetic antibiotic produced from lincomycin.Mechanism of action Clindamycin phosphate is hydrolysed in vivo to clindamycin, which inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and thereby prevents peptide bond formation.Microbiology Clindamycin is an antimicrobial agent which has been shown to have in vitro activity against the following organisms which are associated with bacterial vaginosis:Garderella vaginalisMobiluncus sppBacteroides sppMycoplasma hominisPeptostreptococcus sppPharmacokinetics Following once a day dosing of 100 mg of vaginally administered clindamycin phosphate, at a concentration equivalent to 20 mg of clindamycin per gram of cream, peak serum clindamycin levels average 20 ng/mL (range, 3 to 93  ng/mL) in normal volunteers. Approximately 3% (range, 0,1 to 7%) of the administered dose is absorbed systemically. In women with bacterial vaginosis, the amount of clindamycin absorbed following vaginal administration of 5 grams of Avocin VC (clindamycin 20 mg/g) is 4% (range, 0,8 to 8%) which is approximately the same as in normal volunteers.IndicationsAvocin VC is indicated in the treatment of symptomatic bacterial vaginosis (formerly referred to as Haemophilus vaginitis, Gardnerella vaginitis, Corynnebacterium vaginitis or anaerobic vaginosis) in non-pregnant women. Other pathogens commonly associated with vulvovaginitis e.g. Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Herpes simplex virus should be ruled out by appropriate methods.ContraindicationsAvocin VC is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to clindamycin or lincomycin.Pregnancy and lactation, as safety has not been demonstrated.

Avomeb Ointment is developed to fulfill the theory of moist exposed burn therapy (MEBT). The concept of this therapy is to expose the wound to a physiological moist environment to enhance natural healing process, whereby keratinocytes migration, angiogenesis, and interaction with growth factors are facilitated. PropertiesAvomeb Ointment works by: - Providing an optimum physiological moisture necessary for regeneration and repair. - Inducing an anti-inflammatory effect which helps to reduce edema and erythema. - Developing an unfavorable environment for bacterial and fungal colonization. - Producing an analgesic effect by isolating and protecting the exposed and injured nerve endings. - Isolating and protecting the wound bed from environmental factors while maintaining drainage and gaseous exchange. - Providing local nutrition for wound bed cells.- Liquefying the necrotic tissue. - Reducing body fluids loss from damaged skin (burns). - Absorbing residual heat in acute burn wounds. - Accelerating epithelialization and providing a highly accepted cosmetic appearance. IndicationsAvomeb Ointment is indicated for: - First degree burns, where the pain relief and the fast healing are remarkable, e.g. Sunburn. - Second degree burns, superficial and deep. If properly applied, no need for skin grafting and the regeneration takes place from hair follicles and glands in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. - Third degree burns, to isolate the wound, reduce pain and expedite nonsurgical debridement of the necrotic tissue to prepare the wound for grafting. - Donor site, to decrease pain, control infection, and expedite healing (in average of 7 days). - Chronic wounds including bed ulcers, diabetic foot, and leg ulcers. - Post laser resurfacing, chemical peeling, and derma abrasion. - Surgical wounds including obstetrical wounds. - Wound of circumcision. - Mucous membrane wounds such as buccal ulcers. - Cracked heels and cracked nipples. Method of Application:1. Burns First degree burns (superficial burns) Avomeb Ointment should be applied as immediately as possible. A thin layer (about 1 mm thickness)Should cover the burnt area and should keep the burn exposed, but if there is a need, a light dressing can be used. Re-application should be done 3 to 4 times daily if exposed or twice daily if closed. Second degree burns - First phase: Liquefying period, apply a thin layer of Avomeb Ointment on the burnt area 3 to 4 times daily. Before reapplication necrotic tissue and the residues of the old Avomeb Ointment should be wiped off gently. It is better to keep the wound exposed, but if there is a need,a light dressing can be applied and renewed twice daily. - Second phase: Repair period, Avomeb Ointment should be applied as before, but less frequently (2-3 times daily). - Third phase: Avomeb Ointment should be applied only once daily. Third degree bums Avomeb Ointment should be applied as mentioned before to liquefy the necrotic tissue. A thin layer should cover the burned site and renewed 3 to 4 times daily. 2. Donor Site A thin layer of Avomeb Ointment should cover the donor site and renewed 3 to 4 times daily if exposed or twice daily if closed. 3. Leg Ulcers A sterile gauze should be impregnated with Avomeb Ointment and should fill the cavity of the ulcer, and renewed twice daily. 4. Surgical and Obstetrical Wounds Avomeb Ointment should cover the wound in a relatively thick layer (about 3mm) under a sterile dressing and renewed twice daily. 5. Cracked Nipples A thin layer of Avomeb Ointment should be applied to the nipple under a light pad, and renewed 3 to 4 times daily. Side EffectsRare allergic reaction to sesame oil. PackagingAvomeb Ointment is available in aluminum tubes of 15g, 30g, 50g and 70g.

AVORAL SHAMPOO ®CompositionEach gram of Avoral Shampoo contains 20 mg of Ketoconazole, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, PEG 120, Propylene Glycol, Collagen, Coconut Fatty Acid Diethanolamide, Hydrochloric Acid, Disodium Monolaueyl Ether Sulphosuccinate, Imidurea, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Erythrosin, Ethanol, Perfume and Purified waterPharmacologyKetoconazole, a synthetic imidazole dioxolane derivative, has a potent antimycotic activity against dermatophytes such as Trichophyton sp., Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum sp. and against yeast, such as Candida sp. and Malasszia spp. (Pityrosporum spp). PropertiesAvoral Shampoo formula provides you with an effective way for removing dandruff and itching which are usually associated with seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp and Pityriasis versicolor. The natural process of scalp-cell renewal is accelerated when fitting off Pityrosporum ovale causing dead cells to fall off faster. This is a leading cause of dandruff and all the symptoms that go with it; the flaking, scaling and itching. The antifungal properties of Ketoconazole related to its ability to impair the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of fungal cell membrane. Maintains your hair's vitality, texture and luster. Avoral Shampoo scent is clean and fresh and it leaves your hair smelling even better. IndicationsAvoral Shampoo is used for treatment and prophylaxis of pityriasis versicolor, seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff.ContraindicationsLike all medications, Avoral Shampoo should not be used for persons who have sensitivity to any of its components.Side EffectsRare side effects can be anticipated where the treatment with Ketoconazole is well tolerated. Like all other shampoo products a local burning sensation, itching, contact dermatitis or loss in curl of permanently waved hair may occur. For patient with chemically damaged hair or gray hair a discoloration of the hair may be observed (very rare).Precautions- For external use only- Avoid contact with eyes.

AVOTIN-A CREAM ®GeneralTretinoin USP 0.05% w/wCompositionEach 1 g of Avotin-A Cream contains 0.5 mg Tretinoin USP.IndicationsAvotin-A Cream is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris.Mode of ActionTretinoin, also known as retinoic acid or vitamin A acid (VAA). Tretinoin, an oxidation product of vitamin A initiates increased cells turnover in both normal follicles and comedones and reduces the cohesion between keratinized cells. It acts specifically on microcomedones (the precursor lesion of all forms of acne), causing fragmentation and expulsion of the microplug, expulsion of comedones, and conversion of closed comedones to open comedones. New comedones formation is prevented by continued use. So as a result of the treatment with AVALON Tretinoin Cream: Open comedones –as a consequence of increased cell proliferation- lifted to the surface usually without any symptoms of inflammation. Closed comedones are either transferred to open ones or changed temporarily into papules or pustules, respectively, that heal without scarring as soon as the keratic plug is cast off. Prevent the formation of new comedones.Application TechniquesThe area of skin to be treated should be washed with water and a mild non-medicated soap, but not more than twice a day. After washing, the skin should be dried gently and completely without rubbing it. Areas of the skin being treated should be allowed to dry completely by waiting for 20-30 minutes before application of Avotin-A Cream. Cosmetics and moisturizers may be used during the treatment with Avotin-A Cream but the areas of the skin to be treated should be washed thoroughly before the application. Astringent cosmetics should be avoided. Avotin-A Cream is applied in a thin layer once daily. Medication is applied to the entire area, not just to individual lesions. An amount of the pea is enough for a full facial application. Patient with a sensitive skin or those living in cold, dry climates may start with an application every other or every third day. The corners of nose, the mouth and the eyes should be avoided; these areas are the most sensitive and the most easily irritated. Tretinoin is applied to the chin less frequently during the initial stages of therapy; the chin is sensitive and is usually the first area to become red and scaly. Sunscreens should be used during the summer months if exposure is anticipated.Response to Treatment

Therapeutic effect may be noticed after two to three weeks of use but more than six weeks of therapy may be required before definite beneficial effects are seen. During the early weeks of treatment, an apparent exacerbation of inflammatory lesions may occur. This is due to the action on deep, previously unseen lesions and should not be considered a reason to discontinue therapy.ContraindicationsHypersensitivity to any component of the product.Side EffectsA short sensation of warmth and /or burning may be noticed following the Avotin-A Cream application. Slight reddening of the skin may occur within the early weeks of treatment. In case of too severe skin irritation the intervals between applications should be prolonged. The most reported undesirable effects were dry skin, burning, stinging, warmth, erythema, pruritis, peeling and temporarily hypo or hyperpigmentation. Rare: blistering and crusting of the skin.PrecautionsAvoid the contact with the eyes, eyelids, angles of the nose and lips to avoid any irritation in these sensitive areas. Medicated soaps and shampoos, waxing preparation and astringent lotions can sometimes irritate even normal skin; so avoid the contact of these preparations with the areas to be treated with Avotin-A Cream. Some patients may suffer from severe irritation on the application of Avotin-A Cream which may induce swelling, burning or stinging, crusting and peeling. In that case the patient should stop the use temporarily or use it less frequently. Patients should avoid procedures which may cause skin irritation such as hair removal at night before applying Avotin-A Cream.For external use only Exposure to Sunlight:Exposure to the sunlight or the ultraviolet sunlamps may provoke additional irritation. So exposure to the sunlight should be avoided or minimized during the treatment with Avotin-A Cream. When exposure to the sunlight cannot be avoided, using of sunscreen is highly recommended.Drug InteractionsConcomitant topical applications, medicated soaps and cleansers, soaps or cosmetics that have a strong drying effect, products with high concentrations of alcohol, astringents should be used with caution because of possible interaction with Avotin-A Cream. Particular caution should be considered in using preparations containing sulfur, resorcinol or salicylic acid with Avotin-A Cream. If the patient is using such preparations it is advisable to rest the patient's skin for a time before starting the treatment with Avotin-A Cream.Dosage AdministrationAvotin-A Cream is used once daily to the area of skin where acne lesions occur.StorageStore below 30ºC away from direct light.PackagingAvotin-A Cream is available in 30 g Aluminum tubes. To be dispensed by medical prescription only.

PRILA 5% CREAM ®GeneralCompositionPRILA Cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) is an emulsion in which the oil phase is a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine in a ratio of 1:1 by weight. This eutectic mixture has a melting point below room temperature and therefore both local anesthetics exist as a liquid oil rather than as crystals. It is packaged in 5 gram tubes.Properties

Pharmacokinetic propertiesPRILA Cream is a eutectic mixture of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% formulated as an oil in water emulsion. In this eutectic mixture, both anesthetics are liquid at room temperature and the penetration and subsequent systemic absorption of both prilocaine and lidocaine are enhanced over that which would be seen if each component in crystalline form was applied separately as a 2.5% topical cream.Absorption: The amount of lidocaine and prilocaine systemically absorbed from PRILA Cream is directly related to both the duration of application and to the area over which it is applied. In two pharmacokinetic studies.Distribution: When each drug is administered intravenously, the steady-state volume of distribution is 1.1 to 2.1 L/kg (mean 1.5, ±0.3 SD, n=13) for lidocaine and is 0.7 to 4.4 L/kg (mean 2.6, ± 1.3 SD, n=13) for prilocaine. The largerdistribution volume for prilocaine produces the lower plasma concentrations of prilocaine observed when equal amounts of prilocaine and lidocaine are administered. At concentrations produced by application of PRILA Cream, lidocaine is approximately 70% bound to plasma proteins, primarily alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. At much higher plasma concentrations (1 to 4 μg/mL of free base) the plasma protein binding of lidocaine is concentration dependent. Prilocaine is 55% bound to plasma proteins. Both lidocaine and prilocaine cross the placental and blood brain barrier, presumably by passive diffusion.Metabolism: It is not known if lidocaine or prilocaine aremetabolized in the skin. Lidocaine is metabolized rapidly by the liver to a number of metabolites including monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) and glycinexylidide (GX), both of which have pharmacologic activity similar to, but less potent than that of lidocaine. The metabolite, 2,6-xylidine, has unknown pharmacologic activity. Following intravenous administration, MEGX and GX concentrations in serum range from 11 to 36% and from 5 to 11% of lidocaine concentrations, respectively. Prilocaine is metabolized in both the liver and kidneys by amidases to various metabolites including ortho-toluidine and N-n-propylalanine. It is not metabolized by plasma esterases. The ortho-toluidine metabolite has been shown to be carcinogenic in several animal models.Elimination:- The half-life of lidocaine elimination from the plasma following IV administration is approximately 65 to 150 minutes (mean 110, ±24 SD, n=13). More than 98% of an absorbed dose of lidocaine can be recovered in the urine as metabolites or parent drug. The systemic clearance is 10 to 20 mL/min/kg (mean 13, ±3 SD, n=13). The elimination half-life of prilocaine is approximately 10 to 150 minutes (mean 70, ±48 SD, n=13). The systemic clearance is 18 to 64 mL/min/kg (mean 38, ±15 SD, n=13). During intravenous studies, the elimination half-life of lidocaine was statistically significantly longer in elderly patients (2.5 hours) than in younger patients (1.5 hours). No studies are available on the intravenous pharmacokinetics of prilocaine in elderly patients.Pediatrics: Some pharmacokinetic (PK) data are available in infants (1 month to <2 years old) and children (2 to <12 years old). One PK study was conducted in 9 full-term neonates (mean age: 7 days and mean gestational age: 38.8 weeks). The study results show that neonates had comparable plasma lidocaine and prilocaine concentrations and blood methemoglobin concentrations as those found in previous pediatric PK studies and clinical trials. There was a tendency towards an increase in methemoglobin formation. However, due to assay limitations and very little amount of blood that could be collected from neonates, large variations in the above reported concentrations were found.Special Populations: No specific PK studies were conducted. The half-life may be increased in cardiac or hepatic dysfunction. Prilocaine's half-life also may be increased in hepatic or renal dysfunction since both of these organs are involved in prilocaine metabolism.IndicationsPRILA Cream (a eutectic mixture of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) is indicated as a topical anesthetic for use on:- normal intact skin for local analgesia.- genital mucous membranes for superficial minor surgery and as pretreatment for infiltration anesthesia. PRILA Cream is not recommended in any clinical situation in which penetration or migration beyond the tympanic membrane into the middle ear is possible because of the ototoxic effects observed in animal studiesContraindicationsPRILA Cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) is contraindicated in patients with a known history of sensitivityto local anesthetics of the amide type or to any other component of the product.Side EffectsLocalized Reactions: During or immediately after treatment with PRILA Cream on intact skin, the skin at the site of treatment may develop erythema or edema or may be the locus of abnormal sensation. Rare cases of discrete purpuric or petechial reactions at the application site have been reported. Rare cases of hyperpigmentation following the use of PRILA Cream have been reported. The relationship to PRILA Cream or the underlying procedure has not been established. In clinical studies on intact skin involving over 1,300 PRILA Cream-treated subjects, one or more such local reactions were noted in 56% of patients, and were generally mild and transient, resolving spontaneously within 1 or 2 hours. There were no serious reactions which were ascribed to PRILA Cream.Two recent reports describe blistering on the foreskin in neonates about to undergo circumcision. Both neonates received 1.0 g of PRILA Cream.In patients treated with PRILA Cream on intact skin, local effects observed in the trials included: paleness (pallor or blanching) 37%, redness (erythema) 30%, alterations in temperature sensations 7%, edema 6%, itching 2% and rash, less than 1%. In clinical studies on genital mucous membranes involving 378 PRILA Cream-treated patients, one or more application site reactions, usually mild and transient, were noted in 41% of patients. The most common application site reactions were redness (21%), burning sensation (17%) and edema (10%).Allergic Reactions: Allergic and anaphylactoid reactions associated with lidocaine or prilocaine can occur. They are characterized by urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, and shock. If they occur they should be managed by conventional means. The detection of sensitivity by skin testing is of doubtful value.PrecautionsApplication of PRILA Cream to larger areas or for longer times than those recommended could result in sufficient absorption of lidocaine and prilocaine resulting in serious adverse effects.Studies in laboratory animals (guinea pigs) have shown that PRILA Cream has an ototoxic effect when instilled into the middle ear. In these same studies, animals exposed to PRILA Cream in the external auditory canal only, showed no abnormality. PRILA Cream should not be used in any clinical situation in which its penetration or migration beyond the tympanic membrane into the middle ear is possible.General:Repeated doses of PRILA Cream may increase blood levels of lidocaine and prilocaine. PRILA Cream should be used with caution in patients who may be more sensitive to the systemic effects of lidocaine and prilocaine including acutely ill, debilitated, or elderly patients. PRILA Cream coming in contact with the eye should be avoided because animal studies have demonstrated severe eye irritation. Also the loss of protective reflexes can permit corneal irritation and potential abrasion. Absorption of PRILA Cream in conjunctival tissues has not been determined. If eye contact occurs, immediately wash out the eye with water or saline and protect the eye until sensation returns. Patients allergic to paraaminobenzoic acid derivatives (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) have not shown cross sensitivity to lidocaine and/or prilocaine; however PRILA Cream should be used with caution in patients with a history of drug sensitivities, especially if the etiologic agent is uncertain. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations of lidocaine and prilocaine. Lidocaine and prilocaine have been shown to inhibit viral and bacterial growth. The effect of PRILA Cream on intradermal injections of live vaccines has not been determined.Drug Interactions: PRILA Cream should be used with caution in patients receiving Class I antiarrhythmic drugs (such as tocainide and mexiletine) since the toxic effects are additive and potentially synergistic. Prilocaine may contribute to the formation of methemoglobin in patients treated with other drugs known to cause this condition.Pregnancy and Lactation

Category B.Labor and Delivery: Neither lidocaine nor prilocaine are contraindicated in labor and delivery. PRILA Cream when used concomitantly with other products containing lidocaine and/or prilocaine, total doses contributed by all formulations must be considered.Nursing Mothers: Lidocaine, and probably prilocaine, are excreted in human milk. Therefore, caution should be exercised when PRILA Cream is administered to a nursing mother since the milk: plasma ratio of lidocaine is 0.4 and is not determined for prilocaine.Pediatric Use: Controlled studies of PRILA Cream in children under the age of seven years have shown less overall benefit than in older children or adults.
