Proper Use of timolol

Shake the regular eye drops well just before each use. If you are using the gel-forming eye drops, turn the bottle upside down and shake it once. You do not need to shake the gel-forming eye drops more than once .

To use the eye drops (solution and gel):

• First, wash your hands. Tilt the head back and, pressing your finger gently on the skin just beneath the lower eyelid, pull the lower eyelid away from the eye to make a space. Drop the medicine into this space. Let go of the eyelid and gently close the eyes. Do not blink. Keep the eyes closed and apply pressure to the inner corner of the eye with your finger for 1 or 2 minutes to allow the medicine to be absorbed by the eye.


• Immediately after using the medicine, wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.


• To keep the medicine as germ-free as possible, do not touch the applicator tip to any surface (including the eye). Also, keep the container tightly closed. Serious damage to the eye and possible loss of vision may result from using contaminated eye medicines .

If your doctor ordered two different eye medicines to be used together, wait at least 10 minutes after the regular eye drops before using the second medicine. This will help prevent the second medicine from “washing out” the first one. The gel-forming eye drops should always be the last medicine used if two medicines are ordered. Wait 10 minutes before using the gel-forming eye drops .

Proper Use of temsirolimus

Medicines used to treat cancer are very strong and can have many side effects. Before receiving temsirolimus, make sure you understand all the risks and benefits. It is important for you to work closely with your doctor during your treatment.

You will receive temsirolimus while you are in a hospital or cancer treatment center. A nurse or other trained health professional will give you temsirolimus. temsirolimus is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. The medicine must be injected slowly, so your IV tube will need to stay in place for 30 to 60 minutes.

You will receive a medicine to prevent allergic reactions (e.g., diphenhydramine, Benadryl®) before you receive temsirolimus.

Precautions While Using temsirolimus

It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to see if the medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.

Using temsirolimus while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Men and women should use an effective form of birth control during treatment with temsirolimus and for at least 3 months after stopping treatment. If you think you have become pregnant while using temsirolimus, tell your doctor right away.

Temsirolimus may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; swelling of the face, tongue, and throat; trouble with breathing; or chest pain after you get the injection.

temsirolimus may cause flushing, headaches, and lightheadedness or faintness, while you are receiving the injection or within 24 hours after you receive it. Check with your doctor or nurse right away if you have any of these symptoms.

temsirolimus may increase the amount of sugar in your blood. Check with your doctor right away if you have increased thirst or urination. Your doctor may give you insulin or other medicines that can lower the amount of sugar in your blood.

While you are being treated with temsirolimus, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Temsirolimus may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the vaccine is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not get live vaccines (e.g., nasal flu virus vaccine, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio vaccine, BCG, yellow fever, varicella, or TY21a typhoid vaccine). Try to avoid being around persons who have received live vaccines. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.

Treatment with temsirolimus may also increase the chance of getting other infections. If you can, avoid people with colds or other infections. If you think you are getting a cold or other infection, check with your doctor.

temsirolimus may cause a serious lung problem. Check with your doctor immediately if you are having tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, difficulty with breathing, or wheezing.

Temsirolimus may increase your cholesterol and fats in the blood. If this condition occurs, your doctor may give you some medicines that can lower the amount of cholesterol and fats in the blood.

Check with your doctor right away if you start having severe abdominal or stomach burning, cramps, or pains; bloody or black, tarry stools; diarrhea; fever; nausea; or vomiting of material that looks like coffee grounds. These could be symptoms of a serious bowel problem.

temsirolimus may increase your chance of having acute kidney disease that is not related to the worsening of your kidney cancer. Talk to your doctor about this risk.

temsirolimus may affect the way your body heals from cuts and wounds. Make sure any doctor who treats you knows that you are using temsirolimus. You may need to stop using temsirolimus several weeks before and after having surgery.

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase the effects of temsirolimus by increasing the amount of medicine in your blood. You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while receiving temsirolimus.

Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal (e.g., St. John's wort) or vitamin supplements.

Sebizon Lotion

Generic Name: Sulfacetamide
Brand Name: Seb-Prev and Sebizon

Sebizon Lotion is used for:

Treating bacterial infections of the skin, including dandruff. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Sebizon Lotion is a sulfonamide. It works by restricting the production of folic acid, which bacteria need for growth. This kills the bacteria.

Do NOT use Sebizon Lotion if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Sebizon Lotion


• you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to any other sulfonamide medicine, such as acetazolamide, celecoxib, certain diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide), glyburide, probenecid, sulfamethoxazole, valdecoxib, or zonisamide

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