apotex corp. - carbamazepine (unii: 33cm23913m) (carbamazepine - unii:33cm23913m) - carbamazepine 200 mg - carbamazepine tablets are indicated for use as an anticonvulsant drug. evidence supporting efficacy of carbamazepine as an anticonvulsant was derived from active drug-controlled studies that enrolled patients with the following seizure types: 1. partial seizures with complex symptomatology (psychomotor, temporal lobe). patients with these seizures appear to show greater improvement than those with other types.   2. generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal).   3. mixed seizure patterns which include the above, or other partial or generalized seizures. absence seizures (petit mal) do not appear to be controlled by carbamazepine (see precautions, general). carbamazepine tablets are indicated in the treatment of the pain associated with true trigeminal neuralgia. beneficial results have also been reported in glossopharyngeal neuralgia. this drug is not a simple analgesic and should not be used for the relief of trivial aches or pains. carbamazepine should not be used in patients with a history of previous bone marrow depression, hypersensitivity to the drug, or known sensitivity to any of the tricyclic compounds, such as amitriptyline, desipramine, imipramine, protriptyline, nortriptyline, etc. likewise, on theoretical grounds its use with monoamine oxidase (mao) inhibitors is not recommended. before administration of carbamazepine, mao inhibitors should be discontinued for a minimum of 14 days, or longer if the clinical situation permits. coadministration of carbamazepine and nefazodone may result in insufficient plasma concentrations of nefazodone and its active metabolite to achieve a therapeutic effect. coadministration of carbamazepine with nefazodone is contraindicated. no evidence of abuse potential has been associated with carbamazepine, nor is there evidence of psychological or physical dependence in humans.

apotex corp. - gemfibrozil (unii: q8x02027x3) (gemfibrozil - unii:q8x02027x3) - gemfibrozil 600 mg - gemfibrozil tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet for: - treatment of adult patients with very high elevations of serum triglyceride levels (types iv and v hyperlipidemia) who present a risk of pancreatitis and who do not respond adequately to a determined dietary effort to control them. patients who present such risk typically have serum triglycerides over 2000 mg/dl and have elevations of vldl-cholesterol as well as fasting chylomicrons (type v hyperlipidemia). subjects who consistently have total serum or plasma triglycerides below 1000 mg/dl are unlikely to present a risk of pancreatitis. gemfibrozil therapy may be considered for those subjects with triglyceride elevations between 1000 and 2000 mg/dl who have a history of pancreatitis or of recurrent abdominal pain typical of pancreatitis. it is recognized that some type iv patients with triglycerides under 1000 mg/dl may, through dietary or alcoholic indiscretion, convert to a type v pattern with massive triglyceride elevations accompanying

apotex corp. - selegiline hydrochloride (unii: 6w731x367q) (selegiline - unii:2k1v7gp655) - selegiline hydrochloride tablets usp are indicated as an adjunct in the management of parkinsonian patients being treated with levodopa/carbidopa who exhibit deterioration in the quality of their response to this therapy. there is no evidence from controlled studies that selegiline has any beneficial effect in the absence of concurrent levodopa therapy. evidence supporting this claim was obtained in randomized controlled clinical investigations that compared the effects of added selegiline or placebo in patients receiving levodopa/carbidopa. selegiline was significantly superior to placebo on all three principal outcome measures employed: change from baseline in daily levodopa/carbidopa dose, the amount of 'off' time, and patient self-rating of treatment success. beneficial effects were also observed on other measures of treatment success (e.g., measures of reduced end of dose akinesia, decreased tremor and sialorrhea, improved speech and dressing ability and improved overall disability as assessed by walking and comparison to previous state). selegiline hydrochloride is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to this drug. selegiline is contraindicated for use with meperidine. this contraindication is often extended to other opioids.
