Uses For methionine

Racemethionine is used to make the urine more acidic. Making the urine more acidic helps to relieve skin irritation in incontinent (loss of bladder control) adults and diaper rash in infants. methionine also helps to control strong urine odor.

Racemethionine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although this use is not included in product labeling, racemethionine may be used to treat acetaminophen poisoning when the preferred medicine for treatment is not available.

Before Using methionine

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 methionine, the following should be considered:

Allergies

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to methionine 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

methionine has been tested in children and, in effective doses, has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.

Geriatric

Many medicines 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. Although there is no specific information comparing use of racemethionine in the elderly with use in other age groups, methionine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.

Interactions with Medicines

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.

Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol

Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.

Proper Use of methionine

You should not take more of methionine, or take it more often, than your doctor ordered. You should also make sure that you get enough protein in your diet. This is especially important in infants. Infants who get too much racemethionine and not enough protein may not gain weight as they should. If you have any questions about this, ask your health care professional.

Take racemethionine with, or just after, meals.

For patients taking racemethionine capsules:

If you are unable to swallow the capsule, the contents may be added to juice, water, or warm milk or infant formula.

For patients taking racemethionine oral solution:

Use a specially marked measuring spoon or other device to measure each dose accurately. The average household teaspoon may not hold the right amount of liquid.

Make certain your health care professional knows if you are on any special diet, such as a low-protein diet.

Dosing

The dose of methionine 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 methionine. 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 making urine more acidic:
- For oral dosage form (capsules):
  - Adults and teenagers—The usual dose is 200 milligrams (mg) three or four times a day.
  - Children—The usual dose is the contents of 1 capsule (200 mg) added to a warm bottle of milk or formula in the evening, or added to a glass of juice or water.
- For oral dosage form (oral solution):
  - Adults and children older than 14 months of age—The usual dose is 2⅔ teaspoonfuls (200 mg) three or four times a day.
  - Children 6 to 14 months of age—The usual dose is 1 teaspoonful (75 mg) four times a day for three to five days.
  - Children 2 to 6 months of age—The usual dose is 1 teaspoonful (75 mg) three times a day for three to five days.
  - Children up to 2 months of age—Dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For oral dosage form (tablets):
  - Adults and teenagers—The usual dose is 500 mg three or four times a day.
  - Children—The capsule or oral solution is the recommended dosage form for this age group.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of methionine, 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 methionine

If your rash has not improved after 10 days, check with your doctor.

you have low blood potassium or diabetes

you or a family member have a rare heart condition known as congenital prolongation of the QTc interval

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

Before using Tequin:

Some medical conditions may interact with Tequin. Tell your health care provider 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 a history of low blood potassium levels, diabetes, or kidney or liver problems

if you have Alzheimer disease, tendonitis, or a history of seizures

if you have a central nervous system disease or increased pressure in the head

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

Antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline), antihistamines (eg, diphenhydramine, loratadine), arsenic, azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), certain medicines for heart rhythm disturbances (eg, quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol), cisapride, diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide), droperidol, ketolide antibiotics (eg, telithromycin, macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), pimozide , or ziprasidone because the risk of side effects, such as racing heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, life-threatening irregular heartbeat leading to unconsciousness, may be increased

Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because the risk of side effects, including bleeding, may be increased

Insulin, sulfonylureas (eg, glyburide), or other medicines for diabetes because the risk of blood sugar changes may be increased

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

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

Tequin may be taken with or without food.

Tequin works best if it is taken at the same time each day.

Tequin should be taken 4 hours before any other medicines or dietary supplements that contain aluminum, buffered didanosine, calcium, iron, magnesium, sucralfate, or zinc.

Swallow whole. Do not break, crush, or chew before swallowing.

To clear up your infection completely, continue using Tequin for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days.

If you have trouble swallowing, talk with your doctor about taking the oral solution.

Do not miss any doses of Tequin. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Tequin.

Important safety information:

Tequin may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or changes in vision. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Tequin. Using Tequin alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or perform other potentially dangerous tasks.

Tequin is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective for treating viral infections (eg, the common cold).

It is important to use Tequin for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Tequin and may increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Tequin and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.

Long-term or repeated use of Tequin may cause a second infection. Your doctor may want to change your medicine to treat the second infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second infection occur.

If severe diarrhea, stomach pain/cramps, or bloody stools occur, contact your doctor immediately. This could be a symptom of a serious side effect requiring immediate medical attention. Do not treat diarrhea without consulting your doctor.

Tequin may cause increased sensitivity to the sun. Avoid exposure to the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Tequin. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for a prolonged period.

Tequin may cause low blood sugar (eg, increased heartbeat, headache, chills, sweating, tremor, increased hunger, changes in vision, nervousness, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, fainting) or high blood sugar (eg, thirst, increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing, rapid breathing, fruity breath odor). If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor immediately.

Use Tequin with caution in the ELDERLY because they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially blood sugar changes.

Tequin is not recommended for use in CHILDREN younger than 18 years of age. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.

PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Tequin during pregnancy. It is unknown if Tequin is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Tequin, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.
