The FDA requires ELAVIL to carry a black-box warning because of the risk of suicide.

In short-term studies, a small number of children, teen-agers and young adults (up to 24 years old) who took antidepressants such as ELAVIL became suicidal shortly after starting treatment.

You may have suicidal thoughts while taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old.

Your family members or other caregivers should watch for changes in your mood or other symptoms.

Weight gain is a common side effect of ELAVIL.

However, you can make adjustments to your eating habits and engage in regular physical activity to counter this effect.

Before Using EFUDEX:

For EFUDEX (fluorouracil), the following should be considered and discussed with your physician before using this medication:

Allergies:

Tell your physician if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to fluorouracil or any of EFUDEX components.

Pregnancy:

Tell your physician if you are pregnant or if you intend to become pregnant. Although EFUDEX applied to the skin has not been shown to cause problems in humans, some of it is absorbed through the skin and there is a chance that it could cause birth defects. Be sure that you have discussed this with your doctor before using this medication.

Breast-feeding:

Although EFUDEX applied to the skin has not been shown to cause problems in nursing babies, some of it is absorbed through the skin.

Children:

There is no specific information comparing the use of EFUDEX on the skin in children with the use in other age groups.

Older adults:

Many medications 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. Although there is no specific information comparing the use of EFUDEX on the skin in the elderly with the use in other age groups, this medication is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.

Other medical problems:

The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of EFUDEX on the skin. Make sure you tell your physician if you have any other medical problems, especially since other skin problems may be aggravated.

It is very important that your doctor checks your progress at regular visits to make sure that EFUDEX is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.

Apply EFUDEX very carefully when using it on your face. Avoid getting any into your eyes, nostrils, or mouth.

While using EFUDEX, and for 1 or 2 months after you stop using it, your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight than usual and too much sunlight may increase the effect of EFUDEX. During this period of time:

Stay out of direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., if possible.

• Wear protective clothing, including a hat and sunglasses.
• Apply a sun block product that has a skin protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Some patients may require a product with a higher SPF number, especially if they have a fair complexion. If you have any questions about this, check with your physician or pharmacist.
• Do not use a sunlamp or tanning bed or booth.

If you have a severe reaction from the sun, consult with your doctor.

Along with its needed effects, a medication may cause some unwanted side effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.

Check with your doctor immediately if the following side effects occur: redness and swelling of normal skin.

Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medication. However, check with your doctor if any of the following side effects continue, worsen, or are bothersome: More common: burning sensation where medication is applied; increased sensitivity of skin to sunlight; oozing; skin rash; soreness or tenderness of skin. Less common or rare: darkening of skin; scaling; watery eyes.

Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.

Keep using EFUDEX (fluorouracil) for the full length of treatment. However, do not use EFUDEX more often or for a longer time than your doctor ordered. Apply enough medication each time to cover the entire affected area with a thin layer.

After washing the area with soap and water and drying carefully, use a cotton-tipped applicator or wear suitable gloves to apply the medication in a thin layer to your skin. EFUDEX should be applied with care near the eyes, nostrils and mouth.

EFUDEX may cause redness, soreness, scaling, and peeling of affected skin after 1 or 2 weeks of use. This effect may last for several weeks after you stop using EFUDEX and is to be expected. Sometimes a pink, smooth area is left when the skin treated with EFUDEX heals. This area will usually fade after 1 to 2 months. Do not stop using EFUDEX without first checking with your doctor. If the reaction is very uncomfortable, check with your doctor.

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to hydrochlorothiazide or triamterene, or if you have kidney disease, urination problems, high levels of potassium in your blood, or if you are taking other diuretics similar to triamterene.

Before using DYAZIDE, tell your doctor if you regularly use other medicines that make you sleepy (such as cold or allergy medicine, sedatives, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression, or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by DYAZIDE.

Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
