Before Using U-Cort

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

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of hydrocortisone topical in the pediatric population. However, because of this medicine's toxicity, it should be used with caution. Children may absorb large amounts through the skin, which can cause serious side effects. If your child is using this medicine, follow your doctor's instructions very carefully.

Geriatric

No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of hydrocortisone topical in geriatric patients.

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

• Cushing's syndrome (adrenal gland disorder) or

Generic Name: Febuxostat
Brand Name: Uloric

Long-term treatment of high blood uric acid levels in patients with gout.

Do NOT use Uloric if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Uloric


• you do not have symptoms caused by high blood uric acid levels


• you have high blood uric acid levels caused by a condition other than gout (eg, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, cancer or treatment of cancer, organ transplant)

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

Ultravate PAC

Generic Name: ammonium lactate and halobetasol topical kit (a MOE nee um LAK tate and HAL oh BAY ta sol)

Brand Names: Ultravate PAC

What is ammonium lactate and halobetasol?

Ammonium lactate is a combination of lactic acid and ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium lactate is a moisturizer.

Halobetasol is a topical (for the skin) steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.

The combination of ammonium lactate and halobetasol is used to treat inflammation, itching, dryness, and scaling caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis.

Ammonium lactate and halobetasol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about ammonium lactate and halobetasol?

This medication comes in a kit containing ammonium lactate lotion and halobetasol ointment. Use the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Before using ammonium lactate and halobetasol topical, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, if you have any type of skin infection, or if you have diabetes. Topical steroid medicines absorbed through the skin may increase the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood or urine.

Do not use this medication over a large area of skin. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body. Do not apply ammonium lactate and halobetasol to your face unless your doctor has told you to.

Avoid using ammonium lactate and halobetasol topical to treat skin on your face, underarms, or groin area without your doctor's advice. Avoid getting this medication in your mouth or eyes. If it does get into any of these areas, rinse with water. Do not apply the medication after shaving or use it on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin. Also avoid using the medication in open wounds or on broken or infected skin. Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. Covering the skin that is treated with halobetasol can increase the amount of medicine your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions. Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more likely to absorb large amounts of a topical steroid through the skin. Steroid absorption in children may cause unwanted side effects, or a delay in growth with long-term use. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication over a long treatment period.

Call your doctor if your skin condition does not improve or if it gets worse even with ammonium lactate and halobetasol treatment.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using ammonium lactate and halobetasol topical?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to ammonium lactate or halobetasol.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have any type of skin infection.

Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Topical steroid medicines absorbed through the skin may increase the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood or urine.

Ammonium lactate and halobetasol may be more likely to cause skin irritation in people who have fair or sensitive skin.

How should I apply ammonium lactate and halobetasol?

This medication comes in a kit containing ammonium lactate lotion and halobetasol ointment.

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

Wash your hands before and after applying this medication, unless you are using it to treat a hand condition. Shake the ammonium lactate lotion before each use.

Do not use this medication over a large area of skin. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.

Do not apply ammonium lactate and halobetasol to your face unless your doctor has told you to. Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. Covering the skin that is treated with halobetasol can increase the amount of medicine your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Call your doctor if your skin condition does not improve or if it gets worse even with ammonium lactate and halobetasol treatment.

Store ammonium lactate and halobetasol at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not use 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 halobetasol is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms. However, long-term use of high steroid doses can lead to symptoms such as thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex.

What should I avoid while using ammonium lactate and halobetasol?

This medication should not be used to treat any skin condition your doctor has not prescribed it for.

Avoid using ammonium lactate and halobetasol topical to treat skin on your face, underarms, or groin area without your doctor's advice. Avoid getting this medication in your mouth or eyes. If it does get into any of these areas, rinse with water. Do not apply the medication after shaving or use it on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin. Also avoid using the medication in open wounds or on broken or infected skin. Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Ammonium lactate can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun.
