BCG


Generic Name: BCG (bee cee jee)

Brand names: TheraCys, Tice BCG Vaccine, Theracys 3, Tice BCG Live (for intravesical use), BCG Vaccine


What is BCG?

BCG (Bacillus Calmette and Guérin) is made using the organisms of a bacteria.


This medication is injected directly into the bladder, where it causes inflammation and increases certain white blood cells known as natural killer cells. These killer cells act to destroy invading cells such as tumor cells in the bladder.


BCG is used to treat bladder cancer that is localized (has not spread to other parts of the body).


BCG may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about BCG?


You should not be treated with this medication if you are allergic to BCG, or if you have tuberculosis, a fever, a bladder infection, blood in your urine, or a weak immune system (caused by certain drugs or disease such as AIDS, leukemia, or lymphoma).

You should also not receive BCG if you have had a bladder biopsy, surgery, or catheter within the past 14 days.


Before you receive BCG, tell your doctor if you are allergic to latex rubber, or if you have myasthenia gravis, a pacemaker or other artificial heart device, an artificial joint or other prosthetic, or any type of infection (including HIV).


Also tell your doctor if you have ever had tuberculosis, bypass surgery, or an aneurysm (dilated blood vessel), or if you currently need to have an organ transplant (kidney, liver, heart, etc).


Your doctor may ask you to drink extra fluids for several hours after your BCG treatment to help flush out your bladder. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink.


Call your doctor right away if you have a fever after receiving BCG, especially if the fever lasts for several hours or longer. Antibiotics can make BCG less effective and should be avoided during your treatment with BCG. If you have an infection that must be treated with an antibiotic, you may need to stop receiving BCG for a short time. Follow your doctor's instructions and be sure to tell any other doctor who treats you that you are receiving BCG.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before I receive BCG?


You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to BCG, or if you have:

  • tuberculosis;




  • a weak immune system from diseases such as AIDS, leukemia, or lymphoma;




  • fever, a bladder infection, or blood in your urine;




  • if you are using steroids or receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatments; or




  • if you have had a bladder biopsy, surgery, or catheter within the past 14 days.



Before you receive BCG, tell your doctor if you are allergic to latex rubber, or if you have:



  • any type of bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (including HIV);




  • myasthenia gravis;




  • a pacemaker or other artificial heart device;




  • an artificial joint or other prosthetic;




  • a history of aneurysm (dilated blood vessel);




  • if you have ever had bypass surgery;




  • if you have ever had tuberculosis; or




  • if you need to have an organ transplant (kidney, liver, heart, etc).



If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely receive BCG.


FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Before you receive BCG, tell your doctor if you are pregnant. Use effective birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether BCG passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How is BCG given?


BCG is a freeze-dried product that is mixed with saline and other diluents (liquids) in an amount equal to approximately 8 ounces. This liquid mixture is injected directly into the bladder using a catheter inserted into the urethra (the tube for passing urine out of your bladder). You will receive this medication in a clinic or hospital setting.


This medication is usually given once every week for 6 weeks, and then given every 3 to 6 months for up to 2 years. Follow your doctor's instructions about your specific dosing schedule.


After BCG is placed into the bladder, you will need hold the medication in your bladder as long as possible up to 2 hours. During that time you may be encouraged to lie down or stay relaxed.


For at least 6 hours after you are treated with BCG, your urine will still contain some of the medication and the bacteria it is made from. To prevent the spread of this bacteria, use a toilet rather than a urinal, and sit on the toilet while urinating.

Before you flush the toilet, disinfect the urine with household bleach in an amount that is approximately equal to how much you have urinated. Pour the bleach into the toilet in which you urinated, let it stand for 15 minutes and then flush.


Your doctor may ask you to drink extra fluids for several hours after your BCG treatment to help flush out your bladder. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink.


Call your doctor right away if you have a fever after receiving BCG, especially if the fever lasts for several hours or longer.

Being treated with BCG can cause you to have unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using BCG.


What happens if I miss a dose?


Call your doctor for instructions if you miss an appointment for your BCG treatment.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have received too much of this medicine.

Overdose symptoms may include signs of an infection, such as fever, chills, body aches, weakness, or other flu symptoms.


What should I avoid while receiving BCG?


Antibiotics can make BCG less effective and should be avoided during your treatment with BCG. If you have an infection that must be treated with an antibiotic, you may need to stop receiving BCG for a short time. Follow your doctor's instructions and be sure to tell any other doctor who treats you that you are receiving BCG.

BCG Dosing Information


Usual Adult Dose for Tuberculosis -- Prophylaxis:

BCG vaccine for use in tuberculosis prophylaxis:

BCG vaccine is reserved for persons who have a reaction of
The immunizing dose of 0.2 to 0.3 mL of BCG vaccine is dropped from the syringe and needle onto the cleansed surface of the skin and spread over a 1" by 2" area using the edge of the multiple puncture device. The vaccine is administered percutaneously using a sterile multiple puncture device. The preferred site is the deltoid region. The multiple puncture device is centered over the vaccine and firm downward pressure is applied such that the device points are buried into the skin. Pressure should be maintained for five seconds. (The device should not be rocked.) Pressure underneath the arm is then released and the device is removed.

If the procedure is successful, the points will have punctured the skin. If the points only indent the skin, then the procedure must be repeated.

After a successful procedure, the vaccine should be spread as evenly as possible over the puncture area with the edge of the device. An additional 1 to 2 drops of BCG vaccine may be added to ensure a very wet vaccination site.

The patient should be tuberculin skin tested two to three months after BCG administration. BCG vaccination should be repeated for those who remain tuberculin negative to 5 TU of tuberculin after two to three months.

Usual Adult Dose for Urinary Tumor:

Intravesical BCG for use in the treatment of urinary tumors:

Do not inject subcutaneously or intravenously.

The initial dosage of BCG for intravesical use recommended for this patient is one vial administered by intravesical installation into the urinary bladder.

TICE BCG (for intravesical use): The dose for the intravesical treatment of carcinoma in situ and for the prophylaxis of recurrent papillary tumors consists of one vial of BCG suspended in 50 mL preservative-free saline.

A standard TICE BCG treatment schedule consists of one intravesical instillation per week for six weeks. This schedule may be repeated once if tumor remission has not been achieved and if the clinical circumstances warrant. Intravesical TICE BCG administration should then continue at approximately monthly intervals for at least six to twelve months.

TheraCys (for intravesical use): One dose of TheraCys BCG Live consists of the intravesical instillation of 81 mg (dry weight) BCG. This dose is prepared by reconstituting the vial containing freeze-dried BCG with the contents of the vial containing diluent. The vial of reconstituted BCG is further diluted in 50 mL of sterile, preservative-free saline, for a total of 53 mL instillation volume.

A standard TheraCys BCG treatment schedule also consists of one intravesical instillation per week for six weeks. However, the TheraCys therapy then continues on to one dose administered at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months following the initial dose.

Usual Pediatric Dose for Tuberculosis -- Prophylaxis:

Safety and effectiveness of intravesical BCG for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer in pediatric patients have not been established.

BCG vaccine for use in tuberculosis prophylaxis:

BCG vaccine is reserved for persons who have a reaction of
The vaccine is administered percutaneously using a sterile multiple puncture device. The preferred site is the deltoid region.

Generally, 1 mL of sterile water for injection is added to one vial of vaccine. However, in infants less than one month old, the dosage of BCG vaccine should be reduced by one half by using 2 mL of sterile water for injection when reconstituting the vial.

The immunizing dose of 0.2 to 0.3 mL of BCG vaccine is dropped from the syringe and needle onto the cleansed surface of the skin and spread over a 1" by 2" area using the edge of the multiple puncture device. The multiple puncture device is centered over the vaccine and firm downward pressure is applied such that the device points are buried into the skin. Pressure should be maintained for five seconds. (The device should not be rocked.) Pressure underneath the arm is then released and the device is removed.

If the procedure is successful, the points will have punctured the skin. If the points only indent the skin, then the procedure must be repeated.

After a successful procedure, the vaccine should be spread as evenly as possible over the puncture area with the edge of the device. An additional 1 to 2 drops of BCG vaccine may be added to ensure a very wet vaccination site.

The patient should be tuberculin skin tested two to three months after BCG administration. BCG vaccination should be repeated for those who remain tuberculin negative to 5 TU of tuberculin after two to three months. For infants vaccinated at less than one month of age, if the vaccinated infant remains tuberculin negative for 5 TU on skin testing, and if indications for vaccination persist, the infant should receive a full dose after one year of age..


What other drugs will affect BCG?


Before you receive BCG, tell your doctor if you are taking an antibiotic, or if you are using any drugs that weaken your immune system, such as:



  • cancer medicine or radiation;




  • cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune, Gengraf);




  • sirolimus (Rapamune), tacrolimus (Prograf);




  • basiliximab (Simulect), efalizumab (Raptiva), muromonab-CD3 (Orthoclone);




  • mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept);




  • azathioprine (Imuran), leflunomide (Arava), etanercept (Enbrel); or




  • steroids such as prednisone, fluticasone (Advair), mometasone (Asmanex, Nasonex), dexamethasone (Decadron, Hexadrol) and others.



This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with BCG. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.

Ranibizumab


Pronunciation: RA-ni-BIZ-oo-mab
Generic Name: Ranibizumab
Brand Name: Lucentis


Ranibizumab is used for:

Treating neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is also used for treating another certain eye problem known as macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO).


Ranibizumab is a selective vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist. It works by decreasing the growth of certain cells in the eye. It also helps to keep blood vessels in the eye from leaking and decreases the formation of new blood vessels in the eye. This slows or stops wet AMD and macular edema following RVO.


Do NOT use Ranibizumab if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Ranibizumab

  • you have an infection in or around the eye

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



Before using Ranibizumab:


Some medical conditions may interact with Ranibizumab. Tell your doctor or pharmacist 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 allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if your condition has also been treated with a certain type of light therapy (verteporfin photodynamic therapy)

  • if you have a history of glaucoma or other eye problems

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Ranibizumab. However, no specific interactions with Ranibizumab are known at this time.


Ask your health care provider if Ranibizumab 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 Ranibizumab:


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


  • Ranibizumab is usually given as an injection into the eye at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic.

  • Do not use Ranibizumab if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.

  • Ranibizumab is for injection into the eye only.

  • If you miss a dose of Ranibizumab, contact your doctor right away.


Important safety information:


  • Ranibizumab may cause vision changes. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Ranibizumab.

  • If you develop eye pain or redness, eye or eyelid swelling, sensitivity to light, or vision changes (eg, decreased vision), contact your doctor right away.

  • Lab tests, including eye exams and eye pressure measurements, may be performed while you use Ranibizumab. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Ranibizumab should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is not known if Ranibizumab can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Ranibizumab while you are pregnant. It is not known if Ranibizumab is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Ranibizumab, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.


Possible side effects of Ranibizumab:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Dry eye; eye discomfort; feeling of something in the eye; headache; increased tears; nausea; nose or throat irritation; seeing floaters or spots.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); chest, jaw, or left arm pain; decreased vision or other vision changes; eye or eyelid swelling; eye pain, pressure, redness, bleeding, or discharge; sensitivity to light; symptoms of infection (eg, fever, chills, persistent sore throat); symptoms of a stroke (eg, one-sided weakness, slurred speech, confusion).



This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.

If OVERDOSE is suspected:


Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately. Symptoms may include eye swelling. Ranibizumab may be harmful if swallowed.


Proper storage of Ranibizumab:
