Dosage

Tyfy dosage

Adults and adolescents weighing 50 kg and over: the recommended dosage of Tyfy IV is 1000 mg every 6 hours or 650 mg every 4 hours, with a maximum single dose of Tyfy IV of 1000 mg, a minimum dosing interval of 4 hours, and a maximum daily dose of Tyfy of 4000 mg per day.

Adults and adolescents weighing under 50 kg: the recommended dosage of Tyfy IV is 15 mg/kg every 6 hours or 12.5 mg/kg every 4 hours, with a maximum single dose of Tyfy IV of 15 mg/kg, a minimum dosing interval of 4 hours, and a maximum daily dose of Tyfy of 75 mg/kg per day.

Children >2 to 12 years of age: the recommended dosage of Tyfy IV is 15 mg/kg every 6 hours or 12.5 mg/kg every 4 hours, with a maximum single dose of Tyfy IV of 15 mg/kg, a minimum dosing interval of 4 hours, and a maximum daily dose of Tyfy of 75 mg/kg per day.

Side Effects

As all paracetamol products, adverse drug reactions are rare (>1/10000, <1/1000) or very rare (<1/10000). Frequent adverse reactions at injection site have been reported during clinical trials (pain and burning sensation). Very rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions ranging from simple skin rash or urticaria to anaphylactic shock have been reported and require discontinuation of treatment. Cases of erythema, flushing, pruritus and tachycardia have been reported.

Precaution

Administration of Tyfy in doses higher than recommended may result in hepatic injury, including the risk of severe hepatotoxicity and death. Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose of Tyfy. Use caution when administering Tyfy in patients with the following conditions: hepatic impairment or active hepatic disease, alcoholism, chronic malnutrition, severe hypovolemia (e.g., due to dehydration or blood loss), or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min). There were infrequent reports of life-threatening anaphylaxis requiring emergent medical attention. Discontinue Tyfy IV immediately if symptoms associated with allergy or hypersensitivity occurs. Do not use Tyfy IV in patients with Tyfy allergy.

Food Interaction

• Avoid alcohol. Alcohol may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.

Volume of Distribution

Volume of distribution is about 0.9L/kg. 10 to 20% of the drug is bound to red blood cells. Acetaminophen appears to be widely distributed throughout most body tissues except in fat.

Half Life

The half-life for adults is 2.5 h after an intravenous dose of 15 mg/kg. After an overdose, the half-life can range from 4 to 8 hours depending on the severity of injury to the liver, as it heavily metabolizes acetaminophen.

Clearance

Adults: 0.27 L/h/kg following a 15 mg/kg intravenous (IV) dose. Children: 0.34 L/h/kg following a 15 mg/kg intravenous (IV dose).

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category C. There are no studies of intravenous Tyfy in pregnant women; however, epidemiological data on oral Tyfy use in pregnant women show no increased risk of major congenital malformations. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with IV Tyfy and it is not known whether Tyfy IV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Tyfy IV should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with Tyfy IV during labor and delivery; therefore, it should be used in such settings only after a careful benefit-risk assessment. While studies with Tyfy IV have not been conducted, Tyfy is secreted in human milk in small quantities after oral administration.

Contraindication

Tyfy is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to its active ingredient or to any of the excipients in the intravenous formulation. Also contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease

Special Warning

Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Tyfy IV for the treatment of acute pain and fever in pediatric patients ages 2 years and older is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of Tyfy IV in adults.

Geriatric use: No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.

Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Tyfy is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or severe active liver disease and should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment or active liver disease. A reduced total daily dose of Tyfy may be warranted.

Patients with Renal Impairment: In cases of severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min), longer dosing intervals and a reduced total daily dose of Tyfy may be warranted.

Storage Condition

Store in a cool & dry place & away from children. For single use only. The product should be used within 6 hours after opening. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
