Product Elements:

Trimethobenzamide trimethobenzamide magnesium stearate lactose monohydrate anhydrous lactose starch, corn fd&c red no. 40 lecithin, soybean gelatin trimethobenzamide hydrochloride trimethobenzamide titanium dioxide shellac d&c red no. 28 fd&c blue no. 1 water ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (lavendar opaque cap and lavender opaque body) novel660;300mg

Indications and Usage:

Trimethobenzamide hydrochloride capsule, usp 300 mg is indicated for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting and for nausea associated with gastroenteritis.

Warnings:

Caution should be exercised when administering trimethobenzamide hydrochloride capsules to children for the treatment of vomiting. antiemetics are not recommended for treatment of uncomplicated vomiting in children and their use should be limited to prolonged vomiting of known etiology. there are two principal reasons for caution: 1. the extrapyramidal symptoms which can occur secondary to trimethobenzamide hydrochloride capsules may be confused with the central nervous system signs of an undiagnosed primary disease responsible for the vomiting, e.g., reye's syndrome or other encephalopathy. 2. it has been suspected that drugs with hepatotoxic potential, such as trimethobenzamide hydrochloride capsules, may unfavorably alter the course of reye's syndrome. such drugs should therefore be avoided in children whose signs and symptoms (vomiting) could represent reye's syndrome. trimethobenzamide hydrochloride capsules may produce drowsiness. patients should not operate motor vehicles or oth
er dangerous machinery until their individual responses have been determined. usage in pregnancy: trimethobenzamide hydrochloride was studied in reproduction experiments in rats and rabbits and no teratogenicity was suggested. the only effects observed were an increased percentage of embryonic resorptions or stillborn pups in rats administered 20 mg and 100 mg/kg and increased resorptions in rabbits receiving 100 mg/kg. in each study these adverse effects were attributed to one or two dams. the relevance to humans is not known. since there is no adequate experience in pregnant or lactating women who have received this drug, safety in pregnancy or in nursing mothers has not been established. usage with alcohol: concomitant use of alcohol with trimethobenzamide hydrochloride capsules may result in an adverse drug interaction.

Dosage and Administration:

(see warnings and precautions.) dosage should be adjusted according to the indication for therapy, severity of symptoms and the response of the patient. geriatric patients dose adjustment such as reducing the total dose administered at each dosing or increasing the dosing interval should be considered in elderly patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≤ 70 ml/min/1.73m2). final dose adjustment should be based upon integration of clinical efficacy and safety considerations. (see clinical pharmacology and precautions). patients and renal impairment in subjects with renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≤ 70 ml/min/1.73m2), dose adjustment such as reducing the total dose administered at each dosing or increasing the dosing interval should be considered. (see clinical pharmacology and precautions). usual adult dosage: one 300 mg capsule 3 or 4 times daily. storage store at 20° to 25°c (68° to 77°f) [see usp controlled room temperature].

Contraindications:

Use of any dosage forms in patients with known hypersensitivity to trimethobenzamide is contraindicated.

Adverse Reactions:

There have been reports of hypersensitivity reactions and parkinson-like symptoms. there have been instances of hypotension reported following parenteral administration to surgical patients. there have been reports of blood dyscrasias, blurring of vision, coma, convulsions, depression of mood, diarrhea, disorientation, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, jaundice, muscle cramps and opisthotonos. if these occur, the administration of the drug should be discontinued. allergic-type skin reactions have been observed; therefore, the drug should be discontinued at the first sign of sensitization. while these symptoms will usually disappear spontaneously, symptomatic treatment may be indicated in some cases.

Description:

Chemically, trimethobenzamide hydrochloride is n-[ρ -[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]- 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide monohydrochloride. it has a molecular weight of 424.92 and the following structural formula: [b09aec67-figure-01] each capsule for oral use contains trimethobenzamide hydrochloride equivalent to 300 mg. inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and pregelatinized starch. the capsule shell contains the following ingredients: d&c red #28, fd&c blue #1, fd&c red #40, gelatin and titanium dioxide. white ink contains the following ingredients: 2-ethoxyethanol, industrial methylated spirit, lecithin, purified water, shellac glaze, simethicone emulsion and titanium dioxide.

Clinical Pharmacology:

Mechanism of action the mechanism of action of trimethobenzamide hydrochloride as determined in animals is obscure, but may involve the chemoreceptor trigger zone (ctz), an area in the medulla oblongata through which emetic impulses are conveyed to the vomiting center; direct impulses to the vomiting center apparently are not similarly inhibited. in dogs pretreated with trimethobenzamide hydrochloride, the emetic response to apomorphine is inhibited, while little or no protection is afforded against emesis induced by intragastric copper sulfate. pharmacokinetics the pharmacokinetics of trimethobenzamide have been studied in healthy adult subjects. following administration of 200 mg (100 mg/ml) trimethobenzamide i.m. injection, the time to reach maximum plasma concentration (tmax) was about half an hour, about 15 minutes longer for trimethobenzamide 300 mg oral capsule than an i.m. injection. a single dose of trimethobenzamide 300 mg oral capsule provided a plasma concentration profile
of trimethobenzamide similar to trimethobenzamide 200 mg i.m. the relative bioavailability of the capsule formulation compared to the solution is 100%. the mean elimination half-life of trimethobenzamide is 7 to 9 hours. between 30 – 50 % of a single dose in humans is excreted unchanged in the urine within 48 – 72 hours. the major pathway of trimethobenzamide metabolism is through oxidation resulting in the formation of trimethobenzamide n-oxide metabolite. the pharmacologic activity of this major metabolite has not been evaluated. special populations age the clearance of trimethobenzamide is not known in patients with renal impairment. however, it may be advisable to consider reduction in the dosing of trimethobenzamide in elderly patients with renal impairment considering that a substantial amount of excretion and elimination of trimethobenzamide occurs via the kidney and that elderly patients may have various degrees of renal impairment. (see precautions: general and dosage and administration). gender systemic exposure to trimethobenzamide was similar between men (n=40) and women (n=28). race pharmacokinetics appeared to be similar for caucasians (n=53) and african americans (n=12). renal impairment the clearance of trimethobenzamide is not known in patients with renal impairment. however, it may be advisable to consider reduction in the dosing of trimethobenzamide in patients with renal impairment considering that a substantial amount of excretion and elimination of trimethobenzamide occurs via the kidney. (see precautions: general and dosage and admnistration).
