Uses For Optison


The albumin microspheres sonicated preparation is an ultrasound contrast agent. Ultrasound contrast agents are used to help provide a clear picture during ultrasound. Ultrasound is a special kind of diagnostic procedure. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create images or “pictures” of certain areas inside the body. The sound waves produced by the ultrasound equipment can be reflected (bounced off) by different parts of the body, like for example, the heart. As the sound waves return they are electronically converted into images on a television screen. Unlike x-rays, ultrasound does not involve ionizing radiation.


The albumin microspheres sonicated preparation contains very small gas-filled albumin microspheres that reflect the sound waves and help create a better picture. The albumin microspheres sonicated preparation is given by injection into a vein before ultrasound to help diagnose problems of the heart.


The albumin microspheres sonicated preparation is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor with specialized training in ultrasound procedures.


Before Using Optison


In deciding to use a diagnostic test, any risks of the test must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. Also, other things may affect test results. For this test, the following should be considered:


Allergies

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


Studies on this agent have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of albumin microspheres sonicated in children with use in other age groups.


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. There is no specific information comparing use of albumin microspheres sonicated in the elderly with use in other age groups.

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


  • Congenital heart defects or

  • Heart shunt or

  • Liver problems—Use of the albumin microspheres sonicated preparation is not recommended because its effect when these conditions are present is not known

Proper Use of Optison


Your doctor may have special instructions for you in preparation for your test. If you do not understand the instructions you receive or if you have not received such instructions, check with your doctor in advance.


Dosing


The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.


The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.


Precautions While Using Optison


There are no special precautions to observe after having this test.

Generic Name: polycarbophil (POL ee KAR boe fil)

Brand Names: Equalactin, Fiber Lax, FiberCon, Fiberlax, Fibernorm, Konsyl Fiber, Perdiem Fiber Caplet


What is Perdiem Fiber Caplet (polycarbophil)?

Polycarbophil is a bulk-forming laxative that increases the amount of water in your stools to help make them softer and easier to pass.


Polycarbophil is used to treat constipation and to help maintain regular bowel movements.


Polycarbophil may also be used in some cases to treat diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome.


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


What is the most important information I should know about Perdiem Fiber Caplet (polycarbophil)?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to polycarbophil or to mineral oil, sodium laurel sulfate, or povidone (such as Betadine).

Before using polycarbophil, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have trouble swallowing, a blockage in your intestines, stomach pain with nausea or vomiting, a history of bleeding from your rectum, or a sudden change in your bowel habits that has lasted for 2 weeks or longer.


Ask your doctor before taking polycarbophil if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. The polycarbophil tablet may expand in your throat and cause you to choke if you do not use enough liquid to help swallow the pill. Be sure to drink a full 8-ounce glass of water or other liquid while swallowing the regular tablet or after chewing the chewable tablet.

Polycarbophil is usually taken up to 4 times per day. Do not take more than recommended by your doctor or listed on the medicine label.


Polycarbophil should cause you to have a bowel movement within 12 to 72 hours.


Do not take polycarbophil for longer than 7 days unless your doctor tells you to.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before taking Perdiem Fiber Caplet (polycarbophil)?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to polycarbophil or to mineral oil, sodium laurel sulfate, or povidone (such as Betadine).

Before using polycarbophil, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:



  • trouble swallowing;




  • a blockage in your intestines;




  • stomach pain with nausea or vomiting;




  • a history of bleeding from your rectum; or




  • a sudden change in your bowel habits that has lasted for 2 weeks or longer.



If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to take polycarbophil, or you may need a dose adjustment or special tests during treatment.


Ask your doctor before taking polycarbophil if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Some forms of polycarbophil may contain phenylalanine. Talk to your doctor before using this medication if you have phenylketonuria (PKU).


Do not give this medicine to a young child without the advice of a doctor.

How should I take Perdiem Fiber Caplet (polycarbophil)?


Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended.


Take this medicine with a full glass (8 ounces) of water or other liquid. The tablet may expand in your throat and cause you to choke if you do not use enough liquid to help swallow the pill. Unless you need to restrict your fluid intake, drink plenty of fluids each day while you are taking polycarbophil.

The chewable tablet must be chewed before your swallow it.


Older adults may be more likely to choke while taking this medication. Be sure to drink a full glass of water while swallowing the regular tablet, or after chewing the chewable tablet.

Polycarbophil is usually taken up to 4 times per day. Do not take more of this medicine than recommended by your doctor or printed on the medicine label.


Polycarbophil should cause you to have a bowel movement within 12 to 72 hours. Call your doctor if your constipation does not improve after 3 days of taking this medication.


Do not take polycarbophil for longer than 7 days unless your doctor tells you to. Overuse of a laxative may cause damage to the nerves, muscles, or tissues in your intestines. Store polycarbophil at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since polycarbophil is usually taken as needed, you will not be on a long-term dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication daily for up to 7 days, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to take the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

An overdose of polycarbophil is not likely to produce life-threatening side effects.


What should I avoid while taking Perdiem Fiber Caplet (polycarbophil)?


Avoid taking polycarbophil within 2 hours before or after you take any other medications. A laxative can make it harder for your body to absorb other medicines.


Perdiem Fiber Caplet (polycarbophil) side effects


Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using polycarbophil and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:

  • vomiting;




  • choking on the tablet;




  • trouble swallowing;




  • chest pain; or




  • rectal bleeding.



Less serious side effects may include:
