Product Elements:

Cycloserine cycloserine cycloserine cycloserine cap: boq - op. red 353 body: awz - op. grey 284 pgc;f04 imprint on both cap and body

Indications and Usage:

Indications and usage cycloserine is indicated in the treatment of active pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (including renal disease) when the causative organisms are susceptible to this drug and when treatment with the primary medications (streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol) has proved inadequate. like all antituberculosis drugs, cycloserine should be administered in conjunction with other effective chemotherapy and not as the sole therapeutic agent. cycloserine may be effective in the treatment of acute urinary tract infections caused by susceptible strains of gram-positive and gram- negative bacteria. use of cycloserine in these infections should be considered only when more conventional therapy has failed and when the organism has been demonstrated to be susceptible to the drug

Warnings:

Warnings administration of cycloserine should be discontinued or the dosage reduced if the patient develops allergic dermatitis or symptoms of cns toxicity, such as convulsions, psychosis, somnolence, depression, confusion, hyperreflexia, headache, tremor, vertigo paresis, or dysarthria. the toxicity of cycloserine is closely related to excessive blood levels (above 30 μg/ml), as determined by high dosage or inadequate renal clearance. the ratio of toxic dose to effective dose in tuberculosis is small. the risk of convulsions is increased in chronic alcoholics. patients should be monitored by hematologic, renal excretion, blood level, and liver function studies.

Dosage and Administration:

Dosage and administration cycloserine is effective orally and is currently administered only by this route. the usual dosage is 500 mg to 1 g daily in divided doses monitored by blood levels. 2 the initial adult dosage most frequently given is 250 mg twice daily at 12-hour intervals for the first 2 weeks. a daily dosage of 1 g should not be exceeded.

Contraindications:

Contraindications administration is contraindicated in patients with any of the following: • hypersensitivity to cycloserine • epilepsy • depression, severe anxiety, or psychosis • severe renal insufficiency • excessive concurrent use of alcoho

Adverse Reactions:

Adverse reactions most adverse reactions occurring during therapy with cycloserine involve the nervous system or are manifestations of drug hypersensitivity. the following side effects have been observed in patients receiving cycloserine: nervous system symptoms (which appear to be related to higher dosages of the drug, i.e., more than 500 mg daily) • convulsions • drowsiness and somnolence • headache • tremor • dysarthria • vertigo • confusion and disorientation with loss of memory • psychoses, possibly with suicidal tendencies • character changes • hyperirritability • aggression • paresis • hyperreflexia • paresthesia • major & minor (localized) clonic seizures • coma cardiovascular: sudden development of congestive heart failure in patients receiving 1 to 1.5 g of cycloserine daily has been reported. allergy (apparently not related to dosage) skin rash miscellaneous: elevated serum transaminase, especial
ly in patients with preexisting liver disease

Overdosage:

Overdosage signs and symptoms: acute toxicity from cycloserine can occur if more than 1 g is ingested by an adult. chronic toxicity from cycloserine is dose related and can occur if more than 500 mg is administered daily. the central nervous system is the most common organ system involved with toxicity. toxic effects may include headache, vertigo, confusion, drowsiness, hyperirritability, paresthesias, dysarthria, psychosis paresis, convulsions, and coma. treatment: in adults, many of the neurotoxic effects of cycloserine can be both treated and prevented with the administration of 200 to 300 mg of pyridoxine daily. hemodialysis has been shown to remove cycloserine from the bloodstream. this procedure should be reserved for patients with life threatening toxicity that is unresponsive to less invasive therapy.

Description:

Description d -cycloserine, (r)-4-amino-3-isoxazolidinone, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is produced by a strain of streptomyces orchidaceus and has also been synthesized. cycloserine is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water and stable in alkaline solution. it is rapidly destroyed at a neutral or acid ph. cycloserine has a ph between 5.5 and 6.5 in a solution containing 100 mg/ml. the molecular weight of cycloserine is 102.09, and it has an empirical formula of c 3h6n2o 2 . the structural formula of cycloserine is as follows: each capsule contains cycloserine, 250 mg (2.45 mmol); d & c yellow no. 10, f d & c blue no. 1, f d & c red no. 3, f d & c yellow no. 6, gelatin, iron oxide, talc, and titanium dioxide. structural formula of cycloserine

Clinical Pharmacology:

Clinical pharmacology after oral administration, cycloserine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with peak blood levels occurring in 4 to 8 hours. blood levels of 25 to 30 μg/ml can generally be maintained with the usual dosage of 250 mg twice a day, although the relationship of plasma levels to dosage is not always consistent. concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, fetal blood, and mother’s milk approach those found in the serum. detectable amounts are found in ascitic fluid, file, sputum, amniotic fluid, and lung and lymph tissues. approximately 65% of a single dose of cycloserine can be recovered in the urine within 72 hours after oral administration. the remaining 35% is apparently metabolized to unknown substances. the maximum excretion rate occurs 2 to 6 hours after administration, with 50% of the drug eliminated in 12 hours. mechanism of action: the antibacterial activity of cycloserine results from inhibition of cell-wall synthesis in
susceptible strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. antibacterial activity: cycloserine has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganism, both in vitro and in clinical infections [see indications and usage]: mycobacterium tuberculosis.

How Supplied:

How supplied cycloserine is available as a 250 mg capsule with an opaque red cap and opaque gray body imprinted with “pgc” and “f04” in edible black ink on both the cap and the body. aluminum blisters (a pack of 3 cards each with 10 capsules). ndc 13845-1202-2. store at controlled room temperature, 20° to 25°c (68° to 77°f) [see usp controlled room temperature].
