Overdose:

If you apply more than the recommended dose of GELNIQUE, contact your doctor or the nearest regional Poison Control Centre.

Missed dose:

Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, headaches, dizziness, and a local skin reaction such as itching and redness. These reactions generally are mild and disappear after a few days. If they become worse or do not go away once you stop using GELNIQUE, tell your doctor.

Under rare circumstances supervised by the doctor, H2-receptor antagonists such as ZANTAC might be used for long periods. Long term use of H2-receptor antagonists may prevent normal absorption of vitamin B12 from the diet and could lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. Talk to your doctor.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, if you’ve taken any recently, or if you start taking new ones. This includes medicines bought without a prescription. Some medicines can affect how ZANTAC works, or make it more likely that you’ll have side effects. ZANTAC can also affect how some other medicines work.

Drugs that may interact with ZANTAC include:

• procainamide or n-acetylprocainamide (used to treat heart problems)
• warfarin (used to thin the blood)
• triazolam (used to treat insomnia)
• midazolam (a sedative that may be given just before an operation)
• ketoconazole (used to treat fungal infections)
• atazanavir or delaviridine (used to treat HIV)
• gefitinib (used to treat lung cancer)
• Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory (NSAID) medicines (used to treat pain and inflammation)

In adults, the recommended dose of Galvus is:

• one tablet in the morning and another in the evening (100 mg per day), when used alone, with metformin, with a thiazolidinedione, with metformin plus a sulphonylurea, or with insulin (with or without metformin);
• one tablet in the morning (50 mg per day) when taken with a sulphonylurea. A lower dose of the sulphonylurea may also be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels).

The most common side effect with Galvus (seen in between 1 and 10 patients in 100) is dizziness. For the full list of all side effects reported with Galvus, including side effects occurring when Galvus is taken with other antidiabetes medicines, see the package leaflet.

Galvus must not be used in people who are hypersensitive (allergic) to vildagliptin or any of the other ingredients.

Because vildagliptin has been associated with liver problems, patients should have tests to check their liver function before treatment with Galvus and at regular intervals during treatment.

Apply a small amount to the affected area 3 or 4 times daily until the infection has cleared. If your doctor has directed you to cover the lesion with a gauze dressing, you may be directed to apply the medication only 1 or 2 times daily.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.

Organism overgrowth: The use of antibiotics applied to the skin occasionally allows organisms that are not killed by the antibiotic to grow to large numbers (overgrowth). If the infection does not improve within a few days or seems to get worse at any time, contact your doctor.

Severe skin infections, or infections that do not appear to heal with the use of a topical (skin-applied) medication, should be treated with a systemic (oral or injectable) antibiotic in addition to or instead of a topical medication.

Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: This medication may pass into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are using fusidic acid, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

There may be an interaction between fusidic acid or sodium fusidate and any of the following:

• "statins" (e.g., atorvastatin, lovastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin)
• penicillins (e.g., penicillin, amoxicillin)
• protease inhibitors (e.g., atazanavir, indinavir, lopinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir)

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

• stop taking one of the medications,
• change one of the medications to another,
• change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
• leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.
