Clinical
Pharmacology: Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Carbetapentane Citrate) citrate is a centrally acting non-narcotic antitussive.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. Its action increases the output of respiratory tract fluid by reducing
adhesiveness and surface tension. Sinus and bronchial drainage is improved and dry, nonproductive
coughs become more productive and less frequent.
Indications And Usage:
for temporary relief of non-productive cough accompanying respiratory tract congestion associated withthe common cold, influenza, sinusitis, and bronchitis.
Contraindications:
POLY HIST CB is contraindicated in infants and newborns, and in patients with a knownhypersensitivity to any of the components. It is also contraindicated in patients on MAO inhibitor therapy.
Warnings:
A persistent cough may be a sign of a serious condition. If cough persists for more than one weekor tends to recur, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache, patient reevaluation
should be considered.
Precautions:
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Guaifenesin may produce an increase in urinary 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid andmay therefore interfere with the interpretation of this test for the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome. It may
also falsely elevate the VMA test for catechols. Administration of this drug should be discontinued 48 hours
prior to the collection of urine specimens for such tests.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, And Impairment of Fertility:
No adequate and well controlled studies have been conducted to determine whether the componentsof POLY HIST CB have a potential for carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, or impairment of fertility.
Pregnancy:
Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not yet been conducted with this product.It is not known whether it can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect
reproduction capacity. This product should not be administered to pregnant women.
Nursing Mothers:
Due to the possible passage of the ingredients into breast milk, this product should not be given to nursing mothers.Adverse Reactions:
Guaifenesin is well tolerated and has a wide margin of safety. Side effects are generallymild and infrequent. Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects. Dizziness,
headache, and rash (including urticaria) have been reported rarely.
Overdosage:
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Incidence of acute toxicity with guaifenesin is low and over dosageis unlikely to produce serious toxic effects. In laboratory animals no toxicity resulted when
guaifenesin was administered by stomach tube in doses up to 5 grams/kg.
TREATMENT: Treatment of the signs and symptoms of overdosage is symptomatic and
supportive. The patient should be induced to vomit, even if emesis has occurred spontaneously.
Pharmacologic vomiting by the administration of ipecac syrup is a preferred method, however,
vomiting should not be induced in patients with impaired consciousness. Precautions against
aspiration must be taken, especially in infants and children. Following emesis, any drug
remaining in the stomach may be absorbed by activated charcoal administered as a slurry with water.

Guaifenesin:
An expectorant that also has some muscle relaxing action. It is used in many cough preparations.
Indication: Used to assist the expectoration of phlegm from the airways in acute respiratory tract infections.
Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Guaifenesin) is an expectorant which increases the output of phlegm (sputum) and bronchial secretions by reducing adhesiveness and surface tension. The increased flow of less viscous secretions promotes ciliary action and changes a dry, unproductive cough to one that is more productive and less frequent. By reducing the viscosity and adhesiveness of secretions, Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Guaifenesin) increases the efficacy of the mucociliary mechanism in removing accumulated secretions from the upper and lower airway.
Menthol:
Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Menthol) is a covalent organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. It is a waxy, crystalline substance, clear or white in color, which is solid at room temperature and melts slightly above. The main form of Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Menthol) occurring in nature is (-)-menthol, which is assigned the (1R,2S,5R) configuration. Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Menthol) has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation.

Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Menthol) is a covalent organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. Menthol's ability to chemically trigger cold-sensitive receptors in the skin is responsible for the well known cooling sensation that it provokes when inhalated, eaten, or applied to the skin. It should be noted that Sedotussin Expectorans Drops (Menthol) does not cause an actual drop in temperature.
