Orimune Oral, Parenteral


Generic Name: poliovirus vaccine, inactivated (Injection route)


POE-lee-oh VYE-rus VAX-een, in-AK-ti-vated

In the U.S.


  • Ipol

Available Dosage Forms:


  • Injectable

  • Suspension

Therapeutic Class: Vaccine


Uses For Orimune


Poliovirus vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the virus that causes polio.


There are two types of polio vaccine that are given by injection, poliovirus vaccine inactivated (IPV) and poliovirus vaccine inactivated enhanced potency (eIPV). In the U.S. and Canada, the type of vaccine that is given by injection is eIPV. The type of vaccine that is given by mouth is called poliovirus vaccine live oral (OPV).


Polio is a very serious infection that causes paralysis of the muscles, including the muscles that enable you to walk and breathe. A polio infection may leave a person unable to breathe without the help of an iron lung, unable to walk without leg braces, or confined to a wheelchair. There is no cure for polio.


Immunization against polio is recommended for all infants from 6 to 12 weeks of age, all children, all adolescents up to 18 years of age, and certain adults who are at greater risk for exposure to polioviruses than the general population, including:


  • Persons traveling to areas or countries where polio is uncontrolled, whether or not they have been vaccinated against polio in the past.

  • Persons who live in areas where polio infection still occurs.

  • Adults who have not been vaccinated or who have not had the complete series of vaccinations against polio and who live in households with children who are to be given the oral polio vaccine (OPV).

  • Employees in day-care centers and group homes for children, such as orphanages.

  • Employees in medical facilities, such as hospitals and doctors' offices.

  • Laboratory workers handling samples that may contain polio viruses.

Immunization against polio is not recommended for infants younger than 6 weeks of age, because antibodies they received from their mothers before birth may interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccine. Infants who were immunized against polio before 6 weeks of age should receive the complete polio immunization series.


This vaccine is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other health care professional.


Before Using Orimune


In deciding to use a vaccine, the risks of taking the vaccine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this vaccine, the following should be considered:


For a while after you are immunized, there is a very small risk (1 in 2.2 million) that any persons living in your household who have not yet been immunized against polio or who have or had an immune deficiency condition may develop poliomyelitis (polio) from being around you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about this.


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Use is not recommended for infants up to 6 weeks of age. For infants and children 6 weeks of age and older, polio vaccine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.


Geriatric


Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of polio vaccine in the elderly with use in other age groups, this vaccine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older persons than it does in younger adults.


Pregnancy








Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
All TrimestersCAnimal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

Breast Feeding


Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.


Interactions with Medicines


Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.


Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol


Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.


Other Medical Problems


The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this vaccine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:


  • Diarrhea or

  • Virus infection or

  • Vomiting—These conditions may reduce the useful effect of the vaccine.

  • Fever or

  • Illness (moderate or severe) or

  • Weakness (severe)—The symptoms of these conditions may be confused with possible side effects of the vaccine.

  • Immune deficiency condition, family history of—May increase the chance of side effects with the vaccine.

Proper Use of poliovirus vaccine, inactivated

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain poliovirus vaccine, inactivated. It may not be specific to Orimune. Please read with care.


A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this vaccine in a hospital. This vaccine is given as a shot into your muscle or under your skin.


In children, a total of 4 shots of polio vaccine are given. The shots are usually given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years of age. Each dose of this vaccine is usually given at least 4 weeks apart. The first dose of this vaccine may be given to infants 6 weeks of age.


This vaccine needs to be given on a fixed schedule. If you or your child miss a scheduled shot, call your doctor to make another appointment as soon as possible.

Rebetol


Pronunciation: RYE-ba-VIR-in
Generic Name: Ribavirin
Brand Name: Examples include Rebetol and Ribasphere

Rebetol may cause serious birth defects and/or fetal death when used during pregnancy. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or by men whose female partners are pregnant. Women of childbearing potential who either take Rebetol or are sexual partners of men who take Rebetol must:

Rebetol may cause serious blood problems (hemolytic anemia), which can cause serious and sometimes fatal heart attacks in patients who have heart disease. Do not take Rebetol if you have a history of serious or uncontrolled heart problems.





Rebetol is used for:

Treating chronic hepatitis C infection in certain patients when used in combination with interferon. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Rebetol is an antiviral medicine. Exactly how it works to treat hepatitis C is not known.


Do NOT use Rebetol if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Rebetol or have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin) to ribavirin or any other ingredient in Rebetol

  • you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant while you take Rebetol or within 6 months after you stop taking it

  • you are a man with a female sexual partner who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant while you take Rebetol or within 6 months after you stop taking it

  • you have certain blood disorders (eg, hemolytic anemia, sickle-cell anemia, thalassemia major), a history of serious or uncontrolled heart problems, severe kidney problems, or inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis)

  • you have autoimmune hepatitis (liver problems caused by your body instead of a virus)

  • you are taking didanosine

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Rebetol:


Some medical conditions may interact with Rebetol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you have a female sexual partner who is of childbearing age

  • if you have a history of anxiety or other mood or mental disorders (eg, depression), thoughts of suicide, or suicidal behavior

  • if you have used interferon before to treat hepatitis C and it did not work

  • if you had an organ transplant

  • if you have a history of drug or alcohol abuse

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Rebetol. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Didanosine or other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) (eg, lamivudine), other antiretroviral medicines for HIV infection, or thiopurines (eg, azathioprine) because serious side effects, including risk of infection, nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy), pancreas problems, bone marrow suppression, lactic acidosis, and severe or fatal liver failure, may be increased by Rebetol

  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) or certain NRTIs (eg, lamivudine, stavudine, zidovudine) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Rebetol

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Rebetol may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Rebetol:
