Dolophine Solution may cause severe and sometimes fatal heart and breathing problems. These problems may occur some time after you take a dose. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any new or worsening symptoms such as slowed or shallow breathing or irregular heartbeat. Your doctor will perform heart and lung function tests to check for side effects while you take Dolophine Solution. Keep all doctor and laboratory appointments. Talk with your doctor and be sure you understand the risks and benefits of using Dolophine Solution.


Do not take more than the recommended dose or take Dolophine Solution more often than it is prescribed. This can lead to overdose and possible death.





Dolophine Solution is used for:

Treating moderate to severe pain that is not relieved by other pain medicines. It is used in the temporary treatment of narcotic addiction as part of a treatment program in patients who are unable to take medicine by mouth. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dolophine Solution is a narcotic analgesic. It works by acting on opiate pain receptors in the brain and on smooth muscle to provide pain relief.

  • Abacavir, carbamazepine, efavirenz, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, amprenavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir), narcotic agonists/antagonists (eg, butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine), narcotic antagonists (eg, naloxone, naltrexone), nevirapine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampin, or St. John's wort because they may decrease Dolophine Solution's effectiveness

  • Zidovudine because the risk of its side effects may be increased by Dolophine Solution

  • Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) (eg, abacavir, didanosine, stavudine) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Dolophine Solution

Oncovin


Generic Name: vincristine (Intravenous route)

vin-KRIS-teen

Intravenous route(Solution)

For intravenous use only; fatal if given intrathecally. Intravenous needle or catheter must be properly positioned before any vincristine is injected as leakage into the surrounding tissue may cause considerable irritation. If extravasation occurs, the injection should be discontinued immediately, and any remaining portion of the dose should then be introduced into another vein. Local injection of hyaluronidase and the application of moderate heat to the area of leakage help disperse the drug and are thought to minimize discomfort and the possibility of cellulitis .

Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.

Precautions While Using Oncovin

Also, avoid other persons who have taken oral polio vaccine. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.


If vincristine accidentally seeps out of the vein into which it is injected, it may damage some tissues and cause scarring. Tell the doctor or nurse right away if you notice redness, pain, or swelling at the place of injection.

Discuss these possible effects with your doctor.
