What is sumatriptan injection?

Sumatriptan is a headache medicine that narrows blood vessels around the brain. Sumatriptan also reduces substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.

Sumatriptan is used to treat migraine headaches and cluster headaches. Sumatriptan will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.

Sumatriptan should not be used to treat a common tension headache, a headache that causes loss of movement on one side of your body, or any headache that seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches. Use this medication only if your condition has been confirmed by a doctor as migraine headaches.

Sumatriptan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about sumatriptan injection?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to sumatriptan, if you have any history of heart disease, or if you have coronary heart disease, angina, blood circulation problems, lack of blood supply to the heart, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver disease, ischemic bowel disease, a history of a heart attack or stroke, or if your headache seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches. Do not use sumatriptan within 24 hours before or after using another migraine headache medicine, including sumatriptan tablets or nasal spray, almotriptan (Axert), eletriptan (Relpax), frovatriptan (Frova), rizatriptan (Maxalt), naratriptan (Amerge), zolmitriptan (Zomig), or ergot medicine such as dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal), ergotamine (Ergomar, Cafergot, Migergot), dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal), or methylergonovine (Methergine). Do not use sumatriptan if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days.

Generic Name: nicotine (Oral route, Transdermal route)

NIK-oh-teen

Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.

• Habitrol


• Nicoderm CQ


• Nicotrol

In Canada

• Nicoderm

Available Dosage Forms:

• Patch, Extended Release

Therapeutic Class: Smoking Cessation Agent

Pharmacologic Class: Cholinergic

Uses For Nicotrol

Nicotine, in a flavored chewing gum, a lozenge, or a skin patch, is used to help you stop smoking. It is used for up to 12 weeks as part of a stop-smoking program. This program may include education, counseling, and psychological support.

As you chew nicotine gum or suck on the nicotine lozenge, nicotine passes through the lining of your mouth and into your blood stream. When you wear a nicotine patch, nicotine passes through your skin into your blood stream. This nicotine takes the place of nicotine that you would otherwise get from smoking. In this way, the withdrawal effects of not smoking are less severe. Then, as your body adjusts to not smoking, the use of the nicotine gum is decreased gradually until use is stopped altogether. For most brands of patches, the strength of the patch you use will be decreased over a few weeks until use is stopped. If you are using the brand of patch that is available in only one strength, use is stopped after the treatment period indicated on the label.

Children, pregnant women, and nonsmokers should not use nicotine gum or patches because of harmful effects.

Nicotine transdermal patches, gum, and lozenges are available without a prescription.

Before Using Nicotrol

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

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

Small amounts of nicotine can cause serious harm in children. Even nicotine patches that have been used still contain enough nicotine to cause problems in children. Although there is no specific information comparing use of nicotine in teenagers with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in nicotine-dependent teenagers than it does in adults.

Geriatric

Nicotine gum, lozenges, and patches have been used in a limited number of patients 60 years of age or older, and have not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in older people than in younger adults.

Pregnancy

	Pregnancy Category	Explanation
All Trimesters	D	Studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk.

Breast Feeding

Studies in women breastfeeding have demonstrated harmful infant effects. An alternative to this medication should be prescribed or you should stop breastfeeding while using this medicine.

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. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.

• Clozapine

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 medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Dental problems (with gum only) or


• Diabetes, type 1 (sugar diabetes) or


• Heart or blood vessel disease or


• High blood pressure or


• Inflammation of mouth or throat (with gum only) or


• Irritated skin (with patches only) or


• Overactive thyroid or


• Pheochromocytoma (PCC) or


• Stomach ulcer or


• Stroke, recent or


• Temporomandibular (jaw) joint disorder (TMJ) (with gum only)—Nicotine may make the condition worse.

Proper Use of nicotine

This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain nicotine. It may not be specific to Nicotrol. Please read with care.

For patients using the chewing gum:

• Nicotine gum usually comes with patient directions. Read the directions carefully before using this medicine.


• Use nicotine gum exactly as directed on the label. Remember that it is also important to participate in a stop-smoking program during treatment. This may make it easier for you to stop smoking.


• When you feel the urge to smoke, chew one piece of gum very slowly until you taste it or feel a slight tingling in your mouth. Stop chewing, and place (“park”) the chewing gum between your cheek and gum until the taste or tingling is almost gone. Then chew slowly until you taste it again. Continue chewing and stopping (“parking”) in this way for about 30 minutes in order to get the full dose of nicotine.


• Do not chew too fast, do not chew more than one piece at a time, and do not chew more than one piece of gum within an hour. To do so may cause unpleasant side effects or an overdose. Also, slower chewing will reduce the possibility of belching.


• You should not drink acidic beverages, such as citrus fruit juices, coffee, soft drinks, or tea within 15 minutes before or while chewing a piece of gum. The acid will prevent the nicotine from being released from the gum.


• As your urge to smoke becomes less frequent, gradually reduce the number of pieces of gum you chew each day until you are chewing three to six pieces a day. This may be possible within 2 to 3 months.


• Remember to carry nicotine gum with you at all times in case you feel the sudden urge to smoke. One cigarette may be enough to start you on the smoking habit again.


• Using hard sugarless candy between doses of gum may help to relieve any nicotine cravings you may have between doses of gum.

For patients using the lozenge:

• Nicotine lozenges usually come with patient directions. Read the directions carefully before using this medicine.


• Use nicotine lozenges exactly as directed on the label. Remember that it is also important to participate in a stop-smoking program during treatment. This may make it easier for you to stop smoking.


• Do not eat or drink for 15 minutes before using a nicotine lozenge.


• When you feel the urge to smoke, suck one lozenge slowly until it dissolves. Do not bite or chew the lozenge like a hard candy. Do not swallow the lozenge.


• As your urge to smoke becomes less frequent, gradually reduce the number of lozenges you use each day until you are using three to six lozenges a day. This should be possible within 12 weeks.


• Remember to carry nicotine lozenges with you at all times in case you feel the sudden urge to smoke. One cigarette may be enough to start you on the smoking habit again.

For patients using the transdermal system (skin patch):

• Nicotine patches usually come with patient instructions. Read them carefully before using this medicine. Nicotine patches will work only if applied correctly.


• Remember that it is also important to participate in a stop-smoking program during treatment. This may make it easier for you to stop smoking.


• Do not remove the patch from its sealed pouch until you are ready to put it on your skin. The patch may not work as well if it is unwrapped too soon.


• Do not try to trim or cut the adhesive patch to adjust the dosage. Check with your doctor if you think the medicine is not working as it should.


• Apply the patch to a clean, dry area of skin on your upper arm, chest, or back. Choose an area that is not very oily, has little or no hair, and is free of scars, cuts, burns, or any other skin irritations.


• Press the patch firmly in place with the palm of your hand for about 10 seconds. Make sure there is good contact with your skin, especially around the edges of the patch.


• The patch should stay in place even when you are showering, bathing, or swimming. Apply a new patch if one falls off.


• Rinse your hands with plain water after you have finished applying the patch to your skin. Nicotine on your hands could get into your eyes and nose and cause stinging, redness, or more serious problems. Using soap to wash your hands will increase the amount of nicotine that passes through your skin.


• After 16 or 24 hours, depending on which product you are using, remove the patch. Choose a different place on your skin to apply the next patch. Do not put a new patch in the same place for at least 1 week. Do not leave the patch on for more than 24 hours. It will not work as well after that time and it may irritate your skin.


• After removing a used patch, fold the patch in half with the sticky sides together. Place the folded, used patch in its protective pouch or in aluminum foil. Make sure to dispose of it out of the reach of children and pets.


• Try to change the patch at the same time each day. If you want to change the time when you put on your patch, just remove the patch you are wearing and put on a new patch. After that, apply a fresh patch at the new time each day.


• Nicotine patches should be removed from the skin during strenuous exercise. If a patch is left on, too much nicotine may pass through your skin into your blood stream.


• If you are using a 24-hour patch and begin having unusual dreams or disturbed sleep, you may take the patch off before going to bed and put a new one on after you wake up the next morning.

Precautions While Using Nicotrol

Do not smoke during treatment with nicotine gum, lozenges, or patches because of the risk of nicotine overdose.

Nicotine should not be used in pregnancy. If there is a possibility you might become pregnant, you may want to use some type of birth control. If you think you may have become pregnant, stop using this medicine immediately and check with your doctor.

Nicotine products must be kept out of the reach of children and pets. Even nicotine patches that have been used still contain enough nicotine to cause problems in children. If a child chews or swallows one or more pieces of nicotine gum or lozenges, contact your doctor or poison control center at once. If a child puts on a nicotine patch or plays with a patch that is out of the sealed pouch, take it away from the child and contact your doctor or poison control center at once.

For patients using the chewing gum:

• Do not chew more than 24 pieces of gum a day. Chewing too many pieces may be harmful because of the risk of overdose.


• Do not use nicotine gum for longer than 12 weeks. To do so may result in physical dependence on the nicotine. If you feel the need to continue using the gum after 12 weeks, contact your doctor.


• If the gum sticks to your dental work, stop using it and check with your medical doctor or dentist. Dentures or other dental work may be damaged because nicotine gum is stickier and harder to chew than ordinary gum.

For patients using the lozenges:

• Do not use more than 20 lozenges a day. Sucking too many pieces may be harmful because of the risk of overdose.


• Do not use nicotine lozenges for longer than 12 weeks. If you feel the need to continue using the lozenges after 12 weeks, contact your doctor.

For patients using the transdermal system (skin patch) :

• Mild itching, burning, or tingling may occur when the patch is first applied, and should go away within 24 hours. After a patch is removed, the skin underneath it may be red. It should not remain red for more than a day. If you get a skin rash from the patch, or if the skin becomes swollen or very red, call your doctor. Do not put on a new patch. If you become allergic to the nicotine in the patch, you could get sick from using cigarettes or other products that contain nicotine.


• Do not use nicotine patches for longer than 12 weeks if you have stopped smoking. If you feel the need to continue using nicotine patches after 12 weeks, contact your doctor.


• The patch may cause skin burns when used during a procedure called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To prevent skin burns, make sure the patch is removed before having an MRI .
