Major

Acetaminophen (applies to Talacen) alcoholism

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

Chronic alcohol abusers may be at increased risk of hepatotoxicity during treatment with acetaminophen (APAP). Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure resulting in liver transplant and death, has been reported in patients using acetaminophen. Therapy with acetaminophen should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks a day. In general, patients should avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure. They should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of liver injury such as fever, rash, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, and jaundice.

Acetaminophen (applies to Talacen) liver disease

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Malnourished, Dehydration

Acetaminophen is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease. Patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk of toxicity. Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure and death, have been reported in patients using this drug. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function is recommended. Caution is advised if using acetaminophen in patients with chronic malnutrition or severe hypovolemia. Instruct patients to avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) impaired GI motility

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Constipation, Gastrointestinal Obstruction, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Intestinal Anastomoses

Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents increase smooth muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract and decrease peristalsis, which can lead to elevated intraluminal pressure, spasm, and constipation following prolonged use. In patients with severe or acute inflammatory bowel disease, the decrease in colonic motility may induce toxic megacolon. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously in patients with gastrointestinal obstruction, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, or recent gastrointestinal tract surgery. Gastrointestinal effects appear to be the most pronounced with morphine.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) infectious diarrhea

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Infectious Diarrhea/Enterocolitis/Gastroenteritis

Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents may prolong and/or worsen diarrhea associated with organisms that invade the intestinal mucosa, such as toxigenic E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and pseudomembranous colitis due to broad-spectrum antibiotics. These agents decrease gastrointestinal motility, which may delay the excretion of infective gastroenteric organisms and/or their toxins. Other symptoms and complications such as fever, shedding of organisms and extraintestinal illness may also be increased or prolonged. Therapy with opioids should be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with infectious diarrhea, particularly that due to pseudomembranous enterocolitis or enterotoxin-producing bacteria or if accompanied by high fever, pus, or blood in the stool.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) liver disease

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents are extensively metabolized by the liver, and several of them (e.g., codeine, hydrocodone, meperidine, methadone, morphine, propoxyphene) have active metabolites that are further converted to inactive substances. The serum concentrations of these agents and their metabolites may be increased and the half-lives prolonged in patients with impaired hepatic function. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with liver disease. Subsequent doses should be titrated based on individual response rather than a fixed dosing schedule.

Opiate partial agonists (applies to Talacen) acute MI

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Ischemic Heart Disease

Opiate partial agonists may increase systemic and pulmonary arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance, particularly when given by intravenous administration. Data are available for pentazocine and butorphanol. Therapy with opiate partial agonists should be administered cautiously and only if the benefit justifies the risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (especially if accompanied by hypertension or left ventricular failure) or coronary insufficiency.

Opiate partial agonists (applies to Talacen) drug dependence

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Drug Abuse/Dependence, Alcoholism

Opiate partial agonists have the potential to cause dependence and abuse, particularly in patients with a history of drug abuse. Tolerance as well as physical and psychological dependence can develop after prolonged use, and abrupt cessation or a significant reduction in dosage may precipitate withdrawal symptoms. Because of their opiate antagonistic effect, withdrawal symptoms may also occur if opiate partial agonists are administered to patients with an opiate dependence or in whom substantial amounts of narcotics have recently been administered. Therapy with opiate partial agonists is not recommended in patients who are physically dependent on narcotics. Addiction-prone individuals, such as those with a history of alcohol or substance abuse, should be under careful surveillance or medical supervision when treated with opiate partial agonists. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients. After prolonged use or if dependency is suspected, withdrawal of opiate therapy should be undertaken gradually using a dosage-tapering schedule.

Opiate partial agonists (applies to Talacen) intracranial pressure

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Head Injury, Brain/Intracranial Tumor, Cerebral Vascular Disorder

The hypoventilation associated with administration of opiate partial agonists can induce cerebral hypoxia and vasodilatation with resultant increase in intracranial pressure. Unless mechanical ventilation is provided, extreme caution is advised when opiate partial agonists are given to patients head injury, intracranial lesions, or a preexisting elevated CSF pressure. Also, clinicians treating such patients should be aware that opiate partial agonists may interfere with the evaluation of CNS function, especially with respect to consciousness levels, respiratory status, and pupillary changes.

Opiate partial agonists (applies to Talacen) respiratory depression

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Head Injury, Acute Alcohol Intoxication, Altered Consciousness, Asphyxia, Brain/Intracranial Tumor, Cerebral Vascular Disorder, Pulmonary Impairment, Respiratory Arrest

Opiate partial agonists may produce respiratory depression by decreasing respiratory drive and increasing airway resistance. A "ceiling effect" has been noted for these agents, and increasing doses do not produce proportional or further respiratory depression. However, the duration of effect is prolonged. At therapeutic analgesic dosages, the respiratory effects are usually not clinically important except in patients with preexisting pulmonary impairment. Therapy with opiate partial agonists should be avoided or administered with extreme caution and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with severe CNS or respiratory depression; acute alcohol intoxication; sleep apnea; hypoxia, anoxia, or hypercapnia; upper airway obstruction; chronic pulmonary insufficiency; a limited ventilatory reserve; or other respiratory disorders. In the presence of excessive respiratory secretions, the use of opiate partial agonists may also be problematic because they decrease ciliary activity and reduce the cough reflex. Caution is also advised in patients who may be at increased risk for respiratory depression, such as comatose patients or those with head injury, intracranial lesions, or intracranial hypertension. Clinical monitoring of pulmonary function is recommended, and equipment for resuscitation should be immediately available if parenteral routes are used. Naloxone may be administered to reverse clinically significant respiratory depression. However, in the case of buprenorphine, naloxone may not be effective due to buprenorphine's slow rate of dissociation from mu receptors.

Acetaminophen (applies to Talacen) PKU

Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Phenylketonuria

Several oral acetaminophen and acetaminophen-combination products, particularly flavored chewable tablets, contain the artificial sweetener, aspartame (NutraSweet). Aspartame is converted to phenylalanine in the gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. Chewable and effervescent formulations of acetaminophen products may also contain phenylalanine. The aspartame/phenylalanine content should be considered when these products are used in patients who must restrict their intake of phenylalanine (i.e. phenylketonurics).

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) adrenal insufficiency

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Patients with Addison's disease may have increased risk of respiratory depression and prolonged CNS depression associated with the use of narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents. Conversely, these agents may cause or potentiate adrenal insufficiency. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency. Subsequent doses should be titrated based on individual response rather than a fixed dosing schedule.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) biliary spasm

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Biliary Obstruction, Gallbladder Disease

Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents increase smooth muscle tone in the biliary tract, which can lead to spasm in the sphincter of Oddi causing biliary colic. Increase in serum amylase levels has also been reported. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously in patients with biliary tracts disease, gallbladder disease and acute pancreatitis.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) renal dysfunction

Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

Although narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents are generally metabolized by the liver, renal impairment can alter the elimination of these agents and their metabolites (some of which are pharmacologically active), resulting in drug accumulation and increased risk of toxicity. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with significantly impaired renal function. Subsequent doses should be titrated based on individual response rather than a fixed dosing schedule.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) seizure disorders

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Seizures

Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents may exacerbate seizures in patients with seizure disorders and, at higher dosages, have been reported to induce seizures in patients without previous history of seizures. The proconvulsant activity may be the greatest with meperidine, the active metabolite of which is thought to be responsible. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to seizures.

Narcotic analgesics (applies to Talacen) urinary retention

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents may inhibit the urinary voiding reflex and increase the tone of the vesical sphincter in the bladder. Acute urinary retention requiring catheterization may occur, particularly in patients with prostatic hypertrophy or urethral stricture and in elderly patients. These agents may also decrease urine production via direct effects on the kidney and central stimulation of the release of vasopressin. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to urinary retention and/or oliguria. The effects on smooth muscle tone appear to be the most pronounced with morphine.
