"drug-seeking" behavior is very common in persons with substance use disorders. drug-seeking tactics include emergency calls or visits near the end of office hours, refusal to undergo appropriate examination, testing, or referral, repeated "loss" of prescriptions, tampering with prescriptions, and reluctance to provide prior medical records or contact information for other treating healthcare provider(s). "doctor shopping" (visiting multiple prescribers to obtain additional prescriptions) is common among people who abuse drugs and people with substance use disorder. preoccupation with achieving adequate pain relief can be appropriate behavior in a patient with inadequate pain control. hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets, like other opioids, can be diverted for nonmedical use into illicit channels of distribution. careful record-keeping of prescribing information, including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests, as required by state and federal law, is strongly advised. proper assessment of the patient, proper prescribing practices, periodic reevaluation of therapy, and proper dispensing and storage are appropriate measures that help to limit abuse of opioid drugs. risks specific to abuse of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets abuse of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets poses a risk of overdose and death. the risk is increased with concurrent use of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets with alcohol and/or other cns depressants. parenteral drug abuse is commonly associated with transmission of infectious diseases such as hepatitis and hiv. dependence : both tolerance and physical dependence can develop during use of opioid therapy. tolerance is a physiological state characterized by a reduced response to a drug after repeated administration (i.e., a higher dose of a drug is required to produce the same effect that was once obtained at a lower dose). physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of a physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. withdrawal may be precipitated through the administration of drugs with opioid antagonist activity (e.g., naloxone), mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (e.g., pentazocine, butorphanol, nalbuphine), or partial agonists (e.g., buprenorphine). physical dependence may not occur to a clinically significant degree until after several days to weeks of continued use. do not abruptly discontinue hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets in a patient physically dependent on opioids. rapid tapering of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets in a patient physically dependent on opioids may lead to serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide. rapid discontinuation has also been associated with attempts to find other sources of opioid analgesics, which may be confused with drug-seeking for abuse. when discontinuing hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets, gradually taper the dosage using a patient-specific plan that considers the following: the dose of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets the patient has been taking, the duration of treatment, and the physical and psychological attributes of the patient. to improve the likelihood of a successful taper and minimize withdrawal symptoms, it is important that the opioid tapering schedule is agreed upon by the patient. in patients taking opioids for an extended period of time at high doses, ensure that a multimodal approach to pain management, including mental health support (if needed), is in place prior to initiating an opioid analgesic taper [see dosage and administration, and warnings]. infants born to mothers physically dependent on opioids will also be physically dependent and may exhibit respiratory difficulties and withdrawal signs [see pregnancy].

lupin pharmaceuticals, inc. - rifampin (unii: vjt6j7r4tr) (rifampin - unii:vjt6j7r4tr) - rifampin 150 mg - in the treatment of both tuberculosis and the meningococcal carrier state, the small number of resistant cells present within large populations of susceptible cells can rapidly become the predominant type. bacteriologic cultures should be obtained before the start of therapy to confirm the susceptibility of the organism to rifampin and they should be repeated throughout therapy to monitor the response to treatment. since resistance can emerge rapidly, susceptibility tests should be performed in the event of persistent positive cultures during the course of treatment. if test results show resistance to rifampin and the patient is not responding to therapy, the drug regimen should be modified. rifampin is indicated in the treatment of all forms of tuberculosis. a three-drug regimen consisting of rifampin, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide is recommended in the initial phase of short-course therapy which is usually continued for 2 months. the advisory council for the elimination of tuberculosis, the american thoracic society, and centers for disease control and prevention recommend that either streptomycin or ethambutol be added as a fourth drug in a regimen containing isoniazid (inh), rifampin, and pyrazinamide for initial treatment of tuberculosis unless the likelihood of inh resistance is very low. the need for a fourth drug should be reassessed when the results of susceptibility testing are known. if community rates of inh resistance are currently less than 4%, an initial treatment regimen with less than four drugs may be considered. following the initial phase, treatment should be continued with rifampin and isoniazid for at least 4 months. treatment should be continued for longer if the patient is still sputum or culture positive, if resistant organisms are present, or if the patient is hiv positive. rifampin iv is indicated for the initial treatment and retreatment of tuberculosis when the drug cannot be taken by mouth. rifampin is indicated for the treatment of asymptomatic carriers of neisseria meningitidis to eliminate meningococci from the nasopharynx. rifampin is not indicated for the treatment of meningococcal infection because of the possibility of the rapid emergence of resistant organisms (see warnings ). rifampin should not be used indiscriminately, and, therefore, diagnostic laboratory procedures, including serotyping and susceptibility testing, should be performed for establishment of the carrier state and the correct treatment. so that the usefulness of rifampin in the treatment of asymptomatic meningococcal carriers is preserved, the drug should be used only when the risk of meningococcal disease is high. to reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of rifampin and other antibacterial drugs, rifampin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. when culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. in the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. rifampin capsules are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to rifampin or any of the components, or to any of the rifamycins. (see warnings   ). rifampin is contraindicated in patients who are also receiving ritonavir-boosted saquinavir due to an increased risk of severe hepatocellular toxicity. (see precautions, drug interactions ). rifampin is contraindicated in patients who are also receiving atazanavir, darunavir, fosamprenavir, saquinavir, or tipranavir due to the potential of rifampin to substantially decrease plasma concentrations of these antiviral drugs, which may result in loss of antiviral efficacy and/or development of viral resistance. rifampin is contraindicated in patients receiving praziquantel since therapeutically effective blood levels of praziquantel may not be achieved. in patients receiving rifampin who need immediate treatment with praziquantel alternative agents should be considered. however, if treatment with praziquantel is necessary, rifampin should be discontinued 4 weeks before administration of praziquantel. treatment with rifampin can then be restarted one day after completion of praziquantel treatment. rifampin is contraindicated in patients receiving lurasidone. concomitant use of lurasidone with strong cyp3a4 inducers (e.g., rifampin) decreased the exposure of lurasidone compared to the use of lurasidone alone. (see precautions , drug interactions ).
