Clinical

Pharmacology:

Toclase Expectorant (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 with

the common cold, influenza, sinusitis, and bronchitis.

Contraindications:

POLY HIST CB is contraindicated in infants and newborns, and in patients with a known

hypersensitivity 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 week

or 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 and

may 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 components

of 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 generally

mild 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 dosage

is 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.
