Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets are used to treat constant (around-the-clock), moderate to severe pain that is expected to last for an extended amount of time. Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets are not for patients who only need occasional or "as-needed" pain relief.


Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets must be swallowed whole. Do NOT break, crush, dissolve, or chew Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets before swallowing it. Do not drink alcohol or take medicines that contain alcohol while you are using Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets. Doing any of these things may cause Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets to be absorbed into the body too quickly.

If you are unsure if any of your medicines contain alcohol, check with your doctor or pharmacist.





Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets are used for:

Treating pain in adults with constant (around-the-clock), moderate to severe pain that is expected to last for an extended period of time. Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets are not for use right after surgery if you have not already been using narcotic pain relievers, or if the pain is mild or not expected to last for an extended period of time.


Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets are an opioid (narcotic) analgesic. It works by binding to certain receptors in the brain and nervous system to reduce pain.

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Opana ER Extended-Release Tablets or any other codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, morphine, codeine, oxycodone)

  • you have difficult or slowed breathing, high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, or severe asthma, or you are having an asthma attack

  • you are in labor

  • you have moderate to severe liver problems

  • you have severe diarrhea, bowel problems caused by antibiotics or food poisoning, or certain other severe bowel problems (eg, paralytic ileus)

  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) or an agonist/antagonist analgesic (eg, pentazocine)

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

Baytet


Generic Name: tetanus immune globulin (Intramuscular route)


TET-a-nus i-MUNE GLOB-ue-lin


Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.


  • Baytet

  • HyperTET S/D

Available Dosage Forms:


  • Solution

Therapeutic Class: Immune Serum


Uses For Baytet


Tetanus immune globulin is used to prevent tetanus infection (also known as lockjaw). Tetanus is a serious illness that causes convulsions (seizures) and severe muscle spasms that can be strong enough to cause bone fractures of the spine. Tetanus causes death in 30 to 40 percent of cases.


In recent years, two thirds of all tetanus cases have been in persons 50 years of age and older. A tetanus infection in the past does not make you immune to tetanus in the future.


Tetanus immune globulin works by giving your body the antibodies it needs to protect it against tetanus infection. This is called passive protection. This passive protection lasts long enough to protect your body until your body can produce its own antibodies against tetanus.


Tetanus immune globulin is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other health care professional.


Before Using Baytet


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:

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


Although there is no specific information comparing use of tetanus immune globulin in children with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.


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 or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of tetanus immune globulin in the elderly with use in other age groups. However, there is no evidence that the effects of tetanus immune globulin in older adults differ from those in younger persons.

Interactions with Medicines

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
