Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) CHLORIDE EXTENDED RELEASE TABLETS USP 20 mEq K

Rx Only

DESCRIPTION

The Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq product is an immediately dispersing extended release oral dosage form of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride containing 1500 mg of microencapsulated Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride, USP equivalent to 20 mEq of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) in a tablet.

These formulations are intended to slow the release of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) so that the likelihood of a high localized concentration of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride within the gastrointestinal tract is reduced.

Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq is an electrolyte replenisher. The chemical name of the active ingredient is Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride, and the structural formula is KCl. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride, USP occurs as a white, granular powder or as colorless crystals. It is odorless and has a saline taste. Its solutions are neutral to litmus. It is freely soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol.

Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq is a tablet formulation (not enteric coated or wax matrix) containing individually microencapsulated Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride crystals which disperse upon tablet disintegration. In simulated gastric fluid at 37°C and in the absence of outside agitation, Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq begin disintegrating into microencapsulated crystals within seconds and completely disintegrates within 1 minute. The microencapsulated crystals are formulated to provide an extended release of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride.

Inactive Ingredients: Colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, diethyl phthalate, ethyl-cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

The Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) ion is the principal intracellular cation of most body tissues. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) ions participate in a number of essential physiological processes including the maintenance of intracellular tonicity; the transmission of nerve impulses; the contraction of cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle; and the maintenance of normal renal function.

The intracellular concentration of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) is approximately 150 to 160 mEq per liter. The normal adult plasma concentration is 3.5 to 5 mEq per liter. An active ion transport system maintains this gradient across the plasma membrane.

Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) is a normal dietary constituent and under steady-state conditions the amount of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is equal to the amount excreted in the urine. The usual dietary intake of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) is 50 to 100 mEq per day.

Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion will occur whenever the rate of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) loss through renal excretion and/or loss from the gastrointestinal tract exceeds the rate of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) intake. Such depletion usually develops as a consequence of therapy with diuretics, primary or secondary hyperaldosteronism, diabetic ketoacidosis, or inadequate replacement of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) in patients on prolonged parenteral nutrition. Depletion can develop rapidly with severe diarrhea, especially if associated with vomiting. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion due to these causes is usually accompanied by a concomitant loss of chloride and is manifested by hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion may produce weakness, fatigue, disturbances or cardiac rhythm (primarily ectopic beats), prominent U-waves in the electrocardiogram, and in advanced cases, flaccid paralysis and/or impaired ability to concentrate urine.

If Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion associated with metabolic alkalosis cannot be managed by correcting the fundamental cause of the deficiency, eg, where the patient requires long-term diuretic therapy, supplemental Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) in the form of high Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) food or Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride may be able to restore normal Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) levels.

In rare circumstances (eg, patients with renal tubular acidosis) Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion may be associated with metabolic acidosis and hyperchloremia. In such patients Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) replacement should be accomplished with Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts other than the chloride, such as Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) bicarbonate, Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) citrate, Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) acetate, or Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) gluconate.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

BECAUSE OF REPORTS OF INTESTINAL AND GASTRIC ULCERATION AND BLEEDING WITH CONTROLLED-RELEASE Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) CHLORIDE PREPARATIONS, THESE DRUGS SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO CANNOT TOLERATE OR REFUSE TO TAKE LIQUID OR EFFERVESCENT Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) PREPARATIONS OR FOR PATIENTS IN WHOM THERE IS A PROBLEM OF COMPLIANCE WITH THESE PREPARATIONS.

1. For the treatment of patients with hypokalemia with or without metabolic alkalosis, in digitalis intoxication, and in patients with hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis. If hypokalemia is the result of diuretic therapy, consideration should be given to the use of a lower dose of diuretic, which may be sufficient without leading to hypokalemia.

2. For the prevention of hypokalemia in patients who would be at particular risk if hypokalemia were to develop, eg, digitalized patients or patients with significant cardiac arrhythmias.

The use of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts in patients receiving diuretics for uncomplicated essential hypertension is often unnecessary when such patients have a normal dietary pattern and when low doses of the diuretic are used. Serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) should be checked periodically, however, and if hypokalemia occurs, dietary supplementation with potassium-containing foods may be adequate to control milder cases. In more severe cases, and if dose adjustment of the diuretic is ineffective or unwarranted, supplementation with Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts may be indicated.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) supplements are contraindicated in patients with hyperkalemia since a further increase in serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) concentration in such patients can produce cardiac arrest. Hyperkalemia may complicate any of the following conditions: chronic renal failure, systemic acidosis, such as diabetic acidosis, acute dehydration, extensive tissue breakdown as in severe burns, adrenal insufficiency, or the administration of a potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride) (see OVERDOSAGE ).

Controlled-release formulations of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride have produced esophageal ulceration in certain cardiac patients with esophageal compression due to enlarged left atrium. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) supplementation, when indicated in such patients, should be given as a liquid preparation or as an aqueous (water) suspension of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride (see PRECAUTIONS: Information for Patients , and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION sections).

All solid oral dosage forms of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride are contraindicated in any patient in whom there is structural, pathological (eg, diabetic gastroparesis), or pharmacologic (use of anticholinergic agents or other agents with anticholinergic properties at sufficient doses to exert anticholinergic effects) cause for arrest or delay in tablet passage through the gastrointestinal tract.

WARNINGS

Hyperkalemia (see OVERDOSAGE )

In patients with impaired mechanisms for excreting Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate), the administration of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts can produce hyperkalemia and cardiac arrest. This occurs most commonly in patients given Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) by the intravenous route but may also occur in patients given Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) orally. Potentially fatal hyperkalemia can develop rapidly and be asymptomatic. The use of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts in patients with chronic renal disease, or any other condition which impairs Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) excretion, requires particularly careful monitoring of the serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) concentration and appropriate dosage adjustment.

Interaction with Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Hypokalemia should not be treated by the concomitant administration of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts and a potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, spironolactone, triamterene, or amiloride) since the simultaneous administration of these agents can produce severe hyperkalemia.

Interaction with Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, captopril, enalapril) will produce some Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) retention by inhibiting aldosterone production. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) supplements should be given to patients receiving ACE inhibitors only with close monitoring.

Gastrointestinal Lesions

Solid oral dosage forms of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride can produce ulcerative and/or stenotic lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Based on spontaneous adverse reaction reports, enteric-coated preparations of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride are associated with an increased frequency of small bowel lesions (40-50 per 100,000 patient years) compared to sustained release wax matrix formulations (less than one per 100,000 patient years). Because of the lack of extensive marketing experience with microencapsulated products, a comparison between such products and wax matrix or enteric-coated products is not available. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq is a tablet formulated to provide a controlled rate of release of microencapsulated Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride and thus to minimize the possibility of a high local concentration of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) near the gastrointestinal wall.

Prospective trials have been conducted in normal human volunteers in which the upper gastrointestinal tract was evaluated by endoscopic inspection before and after 1 week of solid oral Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride therapy. The ability of this model to predict events occurring in usual clinical practice is unknown. Trials which approximated usual clinical practice did not reveal any clear differences between the wax matrix and microencapsulated dosage forms. In contrast, there was a higher incidence of gastric and duodenal lesions in subjects receiving a high dose of a wax matrix controlled-release formulation under conditions which did not resemble usual or recommended clinical practice (ie, 96 mEq per day in divided doses of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride administered to fasted patients, in the presence of an anticholinergic drug to delay gastric emptying). The upper gastrointestinal lesions observed by endoscopy were asymptomatic and were not accompanied by evidence of bleeding (Hemoccult testing). The relevance of these findings to the usual conditions (ie, non-fasting, no anticholinergic agent, smaller doses) under which controlled-release Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride products are used is uncertain; epidemiologic studies have not identified an elevated risk, compared to microencapsulated products, for upper gastrointestinal lesions in patients receiving wax matrix formulations. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq should be discontinued immediately and the possibility of ulceration, obstruction, or perforation should be considered if severe vomiting, abdominal pain, distention, or gastrointestinal bleeding occurs.

Metabolic Acidosis

Hypokalemia in patients with metabolic acidosis should be treated with an alkalinizing Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salt such as Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) bicarbonate, Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) citrate, Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) acetate, or Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) gluconate.

PRECAUTIONS

General

The diagnosis of Klinit Toothpaste depletion is ordinarily made by demonstrating hypokalemia in a patient with a clinical history suggesting some cause for Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion. In interpreting the serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) level, the physician should bear in mind that acute alkalosis per se can produce hypokalemia in the absence of a deficit in total body Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) while acute acidosis per se can increase the serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) concentration into the normal range even in the presence of a reduced total body Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate). The treatment of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion, particularly in the presence of cardiac disease, renal disease, or acidosis requires careful attention to acid-base balance and appropriate monitoring of serum electrolytes, the electrocardiogram, and the clinical status of the patient.

Information for Patients

Physicians should consider reminding the patient of the following: To take each dose with meals and with a full glass of water or other liquid. To take each dose without crushing, chewing, or sucking the tablets. If those patients are having difficulty swallowing whole tablets, they may try one of the following alternate methods of administration:

  • Break the tablet in half, and take each half separately with a glass of water.
  • Prepare an aqueous (water) suspension as follows:

    1. Place the whole tablet(s) in approximately 1/2 glass of water (4 fluid ounces).

    2. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the tablet(s) to disintegrate.

    3. Stir for about half a minute after the tablet(s) has disintegrated.

    4. Swirl the suspension and consume the entire contents of the glass immediately by drinking or by the use of a straw.

    5. Add another 1 fluid ounce of water, swirl, and consume immediately.

    6. Then, add an additional 1 fluid ounce of water, swirl, and consume immediately.


Aqueous suspension of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride that is not taken immediately should be discarded. The use of other liquids for suspending Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq is not recommended.

To take this medicine following the frequency and amount prescribed by the physician. This is especially important if the patient is also taking diuretics and/or digitalis preparations.

To check with the physician at once if tarry stools or other evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding is noticed.

Laboratory Tests

When blood is drawn for analysis of plasma Klinit Toothpaste it is important to recognize that artifactual elevations can occur after improper venipuncture technique or as a result of in vitro hemolysis of the sample.

Drug Interactions

Potassium-sparing diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (see WARNINGS ).

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and fertility studies in animals have not been performed. Klinit Toothpaste is a normal dietary constituent.

Pregnancy Category C

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq. It is unlikely that Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) supplementation that does not lead to hyperkalemia would have an adverse effect on the fetus or would affect reproductive capacity.

Nursing Mothers

The normal Klinit Toothpaste ion content of human milk is about 13 mEq per liter. Since oral Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) becomes part of the body Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) pool, so long as body Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) is not excessive, the contribution of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride supplementation should have little or no effect on the level in human milk.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride 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. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection; and it may be useful to monitor renal function.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

One of the most severe adverse effects is hyperkalemia (see CONTRAINDICATIONS , WARNINGS , and OVERDOSAGE ). There have also been reports of upper and lower gastrointestinal conditions including obstruction, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS ). The most common adverse reactions to oral Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts are nausea, vomiting, flatulence, abdominal pain/discomfort, and diarrhea. These symptoms are due to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and are best managed by diluting the preparation further, taking the dose with meals or reducing the amount taken at one time.

OVERDOSAGE

The administration of oral Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) salts to persons with normal excretory mechanisms for Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) rarely causes serious hyperkalemia. However, if excretory mechanisms are impaired or if Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) is administered too rapidly intravenously, potentially fatal hyperkalemia can result (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS ). It is important to recognize that hyperkalemia is usually asymptomatic and may be manifested only by an increased serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) concentration (6.5-8.0 mEq/L) and characteristic electrocardiographic changes (peaking of T-waves, loss of P-waves, depression of S-T segment, and prolongation of the QT-interval). Late manifestations include muscle paralysis and cardiovascular collapse from cardiac arrest (9-12 mEq/L).

Treatment measures for hyperkalemia include the following:

  • Patients should be closely monitored for arrhythmias and electrolyte changes.
  • Elimination of foods and medications containing Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) and of any agents with potassium-sparing properties such as potassium-sparing diuretics, ARBS, ACE inhibitors, NSAIDS, certain nutritional supplements and many others.
  • Intravenous calcium gluconate if the patient is at no risk of developing digitalis toxicity.
  • Intravenous administration of 300 to 500 mL/hr of 10% dextrose solution containing 10-20 units of crystalline insulin per 1,000 mL.
  • Correction of acidosis, if present, with intravenous sodium bicarbonate.
  • Use of exchange resins, hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis.

In treating hyperkalemia, it should be recalled that in patients who have been stabilized on digitalis, too rapid a lowering of the serum Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) concentration can produce digitalis toxicity.

The extended release feature means that absorption and toxic effects may be delayed for hours.

Consider standard measures to remove any unabsorbed drug.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

The usual dietary intake of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) by the average adult is 50 to 100 mEq per day. Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion sufficient to cause hypokalemia usually requires the loss of 200 or more mEq of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) from the total body store.

Dosage must be adjusted to the individual needs of each patient. The dose for the prevention of hypokalemia is typically in the range of 20 mEq per day. Doses of 40-100 mEq per day or more are used for the treatment of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) depletion. Dosage should be divided if more than 20 mEq per day is given such that no more than 20 mEq is given in a single dose.

Each Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablet USP, 20 mEq provides 20 mEq of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) chloride.

Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq should be taken with meals and with a glass of water or other liquid. This product should not be taken on an empty stomach because of its potential for gastric irritation (see WARNINGS ).

Patients having difficulty swallowing whole tablets may try one of the following alternate methods of administration:

  • Break the tablet in half, and take each half separately with a glass of water.
  • Prepare an aqueous (water) suspension as follows:
    • Place the whole tablet(s) in approximately 1/2 glass of water (4 fluid ounces).
    • Allow approximately 2 minutes for the tablet(s) to disintegrate.
    • Stir for about half a minute after the tablet(s) has disintegrated.
    • Swirl the suspension and consume the entire contents of the glass immediately by drinking or by the use of a straw.
    • Add another 1 fluid ounce of water, swirl, and consume immediately.
    • Then, add an additional 1 fluid ounce of water, swirl, and consume immediately.

Aqueous suspension of Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride that is not taken immediately should be discarded. The use of other liquids for suspending Klinit Toothpaste (Potassium Nitrate) Chloride Extended Release Tablets USP, 20 mEq is not recommended.
