J-cof dhc

Name: J-COF DHC

J-Cof DHC Drug Class

J-Cof DHC is part of the drug classes:

  • Substituted alkylamines

  • Natural opium alkaloids

  • Sympathomimetics

Contraindications

This combination product is contraindicated  in patients with hypersensitivity to dihydrocodeine, codeine, or any of the active or inactive components listed above, or in any situation where opioids are contraindicated including significant respiratory depression (in unmonitored settings or in the absence of resuscitation equipment), acute or severe bronchial asthma or hypercapnia, and paralytic ileus.  Antihistamines are contraindicated in patients receiving antihypertensive or antidepressant drugs containing monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) since these agents may prolong and intensify the anticholinergic and CNS depressant effects of antihistamines (see Drug Interactions).

Antihistamines should not be used to treat or lower respiratory tract symptoms or be given to premature or newborn infants.

Sympathomemetic agents are contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, patients with narrow angle glaucoma, bronchial asthma, urinary retention, peptic ulcer, and during an asthmatic attack.  This product is contraindicated in women who are pregnant.

Warnings

General:  Considerable caution should be exercised in patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, hyperthyroidism, increased intraocular pressure, and prostatic hypertrophy.  The elderly (60 years and older) are more likely to exhibit adverse reactions.  Antihistamines may cause excitability, especially in children.  At dosages higher than the recommended dose, nervousness, dizziness, or sleeplessness may occur.

Usage in Ambulatory Patients:  Dihydrocodeine may impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery.

Respiratory Depression:  Respiratory depression is the most dangerous acute reaction produced by opioid agonist preparations, although it is rarely severe with usual doses.  Opioids decrease the respiratory tidal volume, minute ventilation, and sensitivity to carbon dioxide.  Respiratory depression occurs most frequently in elderly or debilitated patients, usually after large initial doses in non-tolerant patients, or when opioids are given in conjunction with other agents that depress respiration.  This combination product should be used with caution in patients with significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale and in patients with a substantially decreased respiratory reserve, hypoxia, hypercapnia, or respiratory depression.

Hypertensive Effect:  Dihydrocodeine, like all opioid analgesics, may cause hypotention in patients whose ability to maintain blood pressure has been compromised by depleted blood volume or who received concurrent therapy with drugs such as phenothiazine or other agents which compromise vasomotor tone.  This product may produce orthostatic hypotension in ambulatory patients.  This combination product should be administered with caution to patients with circulatory shock since vasodilation produced by the drug may further reduce cardiac output and blood pressure.

Dependence:  Dihydrocodeine can produce drug dependence of the codeine type and has the potential of being abused.  This product should be prescribed and administered with the appropriate degree of caution (See Drug Abuse and Dependence section).
