PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy in the management of diarrhea in patients 13 years of age and older. Diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablets are contraindicated in: - Pediatric patients less than 6 years of age due to the risks of respiratory and central nervous system (CNS) depression (see WARNINGS). - Patients with diarrhea associated with pseudomembranous enterocolitis ( Clostridium difficile ) or other enterotoxin-producing bacteria due to the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) complications, including sepsis (see WARNINGS). - Patients with known hypersensitivity to diphenoxylate or atropine. - Patients with obstructive jaundice. Diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablets are classified as a Schedule V controlled substance by federal regulation. Diphenoxylate hydrochloride is chemically related to the narcotic analgesic meperidine. In doses used for the treatment of diarrhe

Abbreviated New Drug Application
DIPHENOXYLATE HYDROCHLORIDE AND ATROPINE SULFATE- DIPHENOXYLATE HYDROCHLORIDE AND ATROPINE SULFATE TABLET PD-RX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. ---------- DESCRIPTION Each diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablet, USP contains: 2.5 mg of diphenoxylate hydrochloride, USP (Warning: May be habit forming) (equivalent to 2.3 mg of diphenoxylate) and 0.025 mg of atropine sulfate, USP (equivalent to 0.01 mg of atropine) Diphenoxylate hydrochloride, an antidiarrheal, is ethyl 1-(3-cyano-3,3-diphenylpropyl)-4- phenylisonipecotate monohydrochloride and has the following structural formula: Atropine sulfate, an anticholinergic, is endo-(±)-alpha-(hydroxymethyl) benzeneacetic acid 8-methyl-8-azabicylo[3.2.1] oct-3-yl ester sulfate (2:1)] (salt) monohydrate and has the following structural formula: A subtherapeutic amount of atropine sulfate is present to discourage deliberate overdosage. Inactive ingredients of diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablets include colloidal silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch (corn) and stearic acid. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Diphenoxylate is rapidly and extensively metabolized in man by ester hydrolysis to diphenoxylic acid (difenoxine), which is biologically active and the major metabolite in the blood. After a 5-mg oral dose of carbon-14 labeled diphenoxylate hydrochloride in ethanolic solution was given to three healthy volunteers, an average of 14% of the drug plus its metabolites was excreted in the urine and 49% in the feces over a four-day period. Urinary excretion of the unmetabolized drug constituted less than 1% of the dose, and diphenoxylic acid plus its glucuronide conjugate constituted about 6% of the dose. In a 16-subject crossover bioavailability study, a linear relationship in the dose range of 2.5 to 10 mg was found between the dose of diphenoxylate hydrochloride (given as diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate liquid) and the peak plasma concentration, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve, and the amount o Lugege kogu dokumenti
