orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine


or-FEN-a-dreen SIT-rate, AS-pir-in, KAF-een


Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.


  • Norgesic

  • Norgesic Forte

  • Orphenadrine w/A.C.

  • Orphengesic

  • Orphengesic Forte

Available Dosage Forms:


  • Tablet

Therapeutic Class: Skeletal Muscle Relaxant, Centrally Acting/Salicylate, Aspirin Combination


Pharmacologic Class: Orphenadrine


Chemical Class: Salicylate, Aspirin


Uses For orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine


Orphenadrine and aspirin combination is used to help relax certain muscles in your body and relieve the pain and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, or other injury to your muscles. However, orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine does not take the place of rest, exercise, or other treatment that your doctor may recommend for your medical problem.


Orphenadrine acts in the central nervous system (CNS) to produce its muscle relaxant effects. Actions in the CNS may also be responsible for some of its side effects. Orphenadrine also has other actions (antimuscarinic) that may be responsible for some of its side effects.


This combination medicine also contains caffeine.


In the U.S., this combination medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.


Before Using orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine


In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Do not give a medicine containing aspirin to a child or a teenager with a fever or other symptoms of a virus infection, especially flu or chickenpox, without first discussing its use with your child's doctor. This is very important because aspirin may cause a serious illness called Reye's syndrome in children with fever caused by a virus infection, especially flu or chickenpox. Children who do not have a virus infection may also be more sensitive to the effects of aspirin, especially if they have a fever or have lost large amounts of body fluid because of vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating. This may increase the chance of side effects during treatment.


There is no specific information about the use of orphenadrine in children.


Geriatric


Elderly people are especially sensitive to the effects of aspirin. This may increase the chance of side effects during treatment.


There is no specific information about the use of orphenadrine in the elderly.


Pregnancy








Pregnancy CategoryExplanation
All TrimestersDStudies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk.

Breast Feeding

Proper Use of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine


Take orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine with food or a full glass (8 ounces) of water to lessen stomach irritation.


Do not take orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine if it has a strong vinegar-like odor. This odor means the aspirin in it is breaking down. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.


Do not take more of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine than your doctor ordered to lessen the chance of side effects or overdose.


Dosing


The dose of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.


The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.


  • For oral dosage forms (tablets):
    • For muscle pain and stiffness:
      • Adults and teenagers—One or two tablets containing 25 milligrams (mg) of orphenadrine and 385 mg of aspirin, or one-half or one tablet containing 50 mg of orphenadrine and 770 mg of aspirin, three or four times a day.

      • Children—Dose must be determined by your doctor.



Missed Dose


If you miss a dose of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.


Storage


Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.


Keep out of the reach of children.


Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.


Precautions While Using orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine


If you will be taking orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine for a long time (for example, more than a few weeks), your doctor should check your progress at regular visits.


Check the labels of all nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) and prescription medicines you now take. If any contain orphenadrine or aspirin or other salicylates be especially careful, since taking them while taking orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine may lead to overdose. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.


Too much use of acetaminophen or certain other medicines together with the aspirin in this combination medicine may increase the chance of unwanted effects. The risk depends on how much of each medicine you take every day, and on how long you take the medicines together. If your doctor directs you to take these medicines together on a regular basis, follow his or her directions carefully. However, do not take acetaminophen or any of the following medicines together with this combination medicine for more than a few days, unless your doctor has directed you to do so and is following your progress:


  • Diclofenac (e.g., Voltaren)

  • Diflunisal (e.g., Dolobid)

  • Etodolac (e.g., Lodine)

  • Fenoprofen (e.g., Nalfon)

  • Floctafenine (e.g., Idarac)

  • Flurbiprofen, oral (e.g., Ansaid)

  • Ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin)

  • Indomethacin (e.g., Indocin)

  • Ketoprofen (e.g., Orudis)

  • Ketorolac (e.g., Toradol)

  • Meclofenamate (e.g., Meclomen)

  • Mefenamic acid (e.g., Ponstel)

  • Nabumetone (e.g., Relafen)

  • Naproxen (e.g., Naprosyn)

  • Oxaprozin (e.g., Daypro)

  • Phenylbutazone (e.g., Butazolidin)

  • Piroxicam (e.g., Feldene)

  • Sulindac (e.g., Clinoril)

  • Tenoxicam (e.g., Mobiflex)

  • Tiaprofenic acid (e.g., Surgam)

  • Tolmetin (e.g., Tolectin)

For diabetic patients:


  • The aspirin in this combination medicine may cause false urine sugar test results if you are regularly taking 6 or more of the regular-strength tablets or 3 or more of the double-strength tablets of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine a day. Smaller doses or occasional use of aspirin usually will not affect urine sugar tests. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional especially if your diabetes is not well controlled.

Do not take orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine for 5 days before any surgery, including dental surgery, unless otherwise directed by your medical doctor or dentist. Taking aspirin during this time may cause bleeding problems.


The orphenadrine in this combination medicine may add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; other muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Also, stomach problems may be more likely to occur if you drink alcoholic beverages while you are taking aspirin. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your doctor before taking any of the medicines listed above, while you are using orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine.


orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine may cause some people to have blurred vision or to become drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, faint, or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert.


Dryness of the mouth may occur while you are taking orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine. For temporary relief, use sugarless candy or gum, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if dry mouth continues for more than 2 weeks, check with your dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungus infections.


If you think that you or someone else may have taken an overdose of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine, get emergency help at once. Taking an overdose of orphenadrine, aspirin, and caffeine may cause unconsciousness or death. Signs of overdose include convulsions (seizures), hearing loss, confusion, ringing or buzzing in the ears, severe drowsiness or tiredness, severe excitement or nervousness, and fast or deep breathing.

What is Dayquil Liquicaps (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.


Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.


Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat headache, fever, body aches, cough, stuffy nose, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.


This medicine will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Dayquil Liquicaps (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?


Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Do not take this medication without a doctor's advice if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. Do not use this medicine if you have untreated or uncontrolled diseases such as glaucoma, asthma or COPD, high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or overactive thyroid. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while you are taking acetaminophen. Do not use this medicine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP.

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:


Allergies


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.


Pediatric


Young children may be at increased risk of unwanted effects because of increased absorption of salicylic acid through the skin. Also, young children may be more likely to get skin irritation from salicylic acid. Salicylic acid should not be applied to large areas of the body, used for long periods of time, or used under occlusive dressing (air-tight covering, such as kitchen plastic wrap) in infants and children. Salicylic acid should not be used in children younger than 2 years of age.


Geriatric


Elderly people are more likely to have age-related blood vessel disease. This may increase the chance of problems during treatment with this medicine.

There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
