Dimaphen

Generic Name: brompheniramine and phenylpropanolamine (brome feh NEER a meen/fen ill proe pa NO la meen)

Brand Names: Altatapp, Dibrom, Dibromm, Dimaphen, Dimetapp, Myphetapp

What is Dimaphen (brompheniramine and phenylpropanolamine)?

Brompheniramine is an antihistamine. It works against the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body. Brompheniramine prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.

Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces the blood flow to certain areas and allows nasal passages to open up.

Brompheniramine and phenylpropanolamine is used to treat nasal congestion and sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.

Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.

Brompheniramine and phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Omeprazole Suspension

Pronunciation: oh-MEP-ra-zole
Generic Name: Omeprazole
Brand Name: Prilosec

Omeprazole Suspension is used for:

Treating heartburn or irritation of the esophagus caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It may also be used for short-term treatment of ulcers of the stomach or small intestine. It may also be used with certain antibiotics to treat ulcers of the small intestines and to help prevent them from coming back. It may also be used to treat conditions that cause your body to make too much stomach acid (eg, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Omeprazole Suspension is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

Do NOT use Omeprazole Suspension if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Omeprazole Suspension


• you are taking dasatinib, certain HIV protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir, nelfinavir), rifampin, or St. John's wort.

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

• if you have low blood potassium or magnesium levels, liver problems, or stomach or bowel cancer


• if you have osteoporosis (weak bones), a family history of osteoporosis, or other risk factors of osteoporosis (eg, smoking, poor nutrition)

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

• Diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because the risk of low blood magnesium levels may be increased


• Voriconazole because it may increase the risk of Omeprazole Suspension's side effects


• Ginkgo biloba, rifampin, or St. John's wort because they may decrease Omeprazole Suspension's effectiveness


• Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), benzodiazepines (eg, diazepam), cilostazol, cyclosporine, digoxin, disulfiram, phenytoin, saquinavir, or tacrolimus because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Omeprazole Suspension


• Ampicillins, azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), clopidogrel, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir, nelfinavir), iron, mycophenolate, or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (eg, dasatinib, erlotinib) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Omeprazole Suspension

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Omeprazole Suspension 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.
