BPO 9 Foaming Cloths




Generic Name: benzoyl peroxide

Dosage Form: cloth
BPO 9 Foaming Cloths

DESCRIPTION: BPO 9% Foaming Cloths are topical preparations containing benzoyl peroxide for use in the treatment of acne vulgaris.Benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizing agent that possesses antibacterial properties and is classified as a keratolytic. Benzoyl peroxide (C14H10O4) is represented by the following chemical structure:



BPO 3% and 6% Foaming Cloths contain, respectively, benzoyl peroxide 3% and 6% as the active ingredient in a cream vehicle containing: cetostearyl alcohol, hydrogenated castor oil, cocamidopropyl betaine, PEG-14M, methyl paraben, mineral oil, purified water, sodium lauryl sulfate, potassium choride, glycolic acid, imidurea, sodium PCA liquid, cornstarch, titanium dioxide, sodium hydroxide, glycerine, dimethyl isosorbide.



CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: The mechanism of action of benzoyl peroxide is not totally understood but its antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes is thought to be a major mode of action. In addition, patients treated with benzoyl peroxide show a reduction in lipids and free fatty acids, and mild desquamation (drying and peeling activity) with simultaneous reduction in comedones and acne lesions. Little is known about the percutaneous penetration, metabolism, and excretion of benzoyl peroxide, although it has been shown that benzoyl peroxide absorbed by the skin is metabolized to benzoic acid and then excreted as benzoate in the urine. There is no evidence of systemic toxicity caused by benzoyl peroxide in humans.



INDICATIONS: BPO 9% Foaming Cloths are indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.



CONTRAINDICATIONS: These preparations are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of their components.



WARNINGS: When using this product, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use a sunscreen.


FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Keep away from eyes. Keep container tightly closed.



Keep out of reach of children.



PRECAUTIONS: General - For external use only. If severe irritation develops, discontinue use and institute appropriate therapy. After reaction clears, treatment may often be resumed with less frequent application. These preparations should not be used in or near the eyes or on mucous membranes.



Information for patients - Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse with water. Contact with any colored material (including hair and fabric) may result in bleaching or discoloration. If excessive irritation develops, discontinue use and consult your physician.



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility - Data from several studies employing a strain of mice that are highly susceptible to developing cancer suggest that benzoyl peroxide acts as a tumor promoter. The clinical significance of these findings to humans is unknown. Benzoyl peroxide has not been found to be mutagenic (Ames Test) and there are no published data indicating it impairs fertility.



PREGNANCY: Teratogenic Effects - Pregnancy Category C. - Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with benzoyl peroxide. It is not known whether benzoyl peroxide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Benzoyl peroxide should be used by a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. There are no available data on the effect of benzoyl peroxide on the later growth, development and functional maturation of the unborn child.



NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when benzoyl peroxide is administered to a nursing woman.



PEDIATRIC USE: Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.



ADVERSE REACTIONS:Allergic contact dermatitis and dryness have been reported with topical benzoyl peroxide therapy.



OVERDOSAGE: If excessive scaling, erythema or edema occurs, the use of these preparations should be discontinued. To hasten resolution of the adverse effects, cool compresses may be used. After symptoms and signs subside, a reduced dosage schedule may be cautiously tried if the reaction is judged to be due to excessive use and not allergenicity.



DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Wash affected areas once or twice daily, or as directed by your physician. Wet face with water. Wet cloth with a little water and work into a full lather. Cleanse face with cloth for 10–20 seconds. Avoid eyes or mucous membranes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.


If drying occurs, it may be controlled by rinsing sooner or using less often. Throw away cloth. Do not flush.

Demadex Solution


Pronunciation: TORE-se-mide
Generic Name: Torsemide
Brand Name: Generic only. No brands available.


Demadex Solution is used for:

Treatment of edema (swelling) associated with heart, kidney, or liver failure, or conditions in which there is excess body water. The injection is used when a rapid decrease of swelling is desired or when a tablet cannot be taken. It is also used alone or with other medicines to treat high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat certain conditions as determined by your doctor.


Demadex Solution is a loop diuretic. It works by making the kidneys eliminate larger amounts of electrolytes (especially sodium and potassium salts) and water than normal (diuretic effect).


Do NOT use Demadex Solution if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Demadex Solution or to a sulfonylurea (eg, glyburide)

  • you are unable to urinate

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



Before using Demadex Solution:


Some medical conditions may interact with Demadex Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have fluid in your abdomen, hearing impairment, diabetes mellitus, low urine output, high blood uric acid levels, a blood disorder, kidney disease, lupus, liver disease, or heart failure

  • if you have had a heart attack

  • if you are dehydrated

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Demadex Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Aminoglycosides (eg, gentamicin) or cisplatin because the risk of temporary or permanent hearing loss may be increased

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, ibuprofen, indomethacin) or probenecid because they may decrease Demadex Solution's effectiveness

  • Chloral hydrate, digitalis (eg, digoxin), lithium, or suramin because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Demadex Solution

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Demadex Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Demadex Solution:


Use Demadex Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Demadex Solution is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic.

  • Do not use Demadex Solution if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.

  • Demadex Solution should be given intravenously slowly over a period of at least 2 minutes or as a continuous infusion.

  • Demadex Solution may increase the amount of urine or cause you to urinate more often when you first start taking it. To keep this from disturbing your sleep, try to take your dose before 6 pm.

  • Avoid eating licorice or Korean ginseng while taking Demadex Solution.

  • Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
