1. What Septrin Pediatric 8 mg/40 mg/ml Oral Suspension is and what it is used for

Septrin Pediatric is an antibiotic that eliminates bacteria that cause infections. It contains two different drugs called trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (a sulfonamide).

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections such as the flu or common cold.

It is essential that you follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw away medications down the drain or in the trash.

Septrin Pediatric is indicated for the treatment of the following infections: treatment and prevention of pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis jiroveci (P. carinii), prevention of toxoplasmosis, nocardiosis, and melioidosis.

Septrin Pediatric may also be useful for other infections: middle ear infections, lung infections in patients with chronic bronchitis, urinary tract infections (bladder, kidneys), infectious diarrhea, treatment of toxoplasmosis, genital and/or perianal lesions (granuloma inguinale or donovanosis), brucellosis.

2. What you need to know before you take Septrin Pediatric 8 mg/40 mg/ml Oral Suspension

Do not take Septrin Pediatric 8 mg/40 mg/ml Oral Suspension

  • If you are allergic to sulfonamides, trimethoprim, cotrimoxazole, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6: Package Contents and Additional Information).
  • In the case of premature infants and full-term infants under 6 weeks.
  • If you have acute porphyria (a blood disorder in which hemoglobin is not produced properly).
  • In combination with dofetilide (a medication used to control irregular or rapid heartbeats).

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Septrin Pediatric 8 mg/40 mg/ml Oral Suspension.

  • In elderly patients, as they may be more likely to experience severe side effects.
  • If you have kidney problems (known renal insufficiency). Your doctor should take special measures. To ensure adequate renal elimination, the patient should receive adequate fluid intake and the urinary pH should be maintained within normal limits, avoiding acidification of the urine.
  • If you have liver problems (severe liver parenchyma damage).
  • If you have severe blood disorders, except in cases where there is close medical supervision.
  • If you have a deficiency of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD).
  • Septrin should not be used to treat streptococcal pharyngitis (S. pyogenes).
  • If you take Septrin Pediatric for a long time or if you have a folate deficiency or are an elderly patient, your doctor may request that you have blood tests to check your blood counts.
  • If you are at risk of hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) and hyponatremia (low sodium levels), your doctor will consider the need to monitor potassium and sodium levels in your blood.
  • If you have phenylketonuria (a metabolic disorder that affects the enzyme phenylalanine), as the administration of trimethoprim alters phenylalanine metabolism. This is not a problem in patients with an adequate restrictive diet.
  • Septrin Pediatric may interfere with the results of some laboratory tests.
  • Although this medication is indicated for use in children from 6 weeks, your doctor may decide not to administer Septrin to children under 3 months.

Rare cases of death have occurred due to severe reactions, including fulminant hepatic necrosis (severe liver damage), agranulocytosis (decrease in the number of a certain type of white blood cell), aplastic anemia (insufficiency of the bone marrow to produce different types of cells), other blood disorders, and hypersensitivity of the respiratory system.

Life-threatening skin rashes have been described with the use of Septrin Pediatric, initially appearing as red or reddish spots or patches, often with a central blister.

Other additional signs that may appear are sores in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and conjunctivitis (swollen and red eyes).

These life-threatening skin rashes are often accompanied by flu-like symptoms. The rash can progress to the formation of generalized blisters or skin peeling.

The period of highest risk of severe skin reactions is during the first few weeks of treatment.

If you have developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis with the use of Septrin, you should not use Septrin Pediatric again at any time.

If you develop a rash or these skin symptoms, stop taking Septrin Pediatric, go to a doctor immediately, and inform them that you are taking this medication.

If you experience a severe skin reaction: a red and scaly rash with bumps under the skin and blisters (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis), contact a doctor as soon as possible and inform them that you are taking this medication.

Rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions with eosinophilia (increase in a certain type of white blood cell) and associated systemic symptoms have been reported with the use of Septrin.

As a consequence of colonization with Clostridium difficile, the use of Septrin may lead to the development of pseudomembranous colitis, which manifests as diarrhea.

If you experience an unexpected worsening of cough and shortness of breath, inform your doctor immediately.

Lymphohistiocytosis

Very rare cases of excessive immune reactions due to unregulated activation of white blood cells, causing inflammation (lymphohistiocytosis), which can be potentially fatal if not diagnosed and treated early, have been reported. If you experience multiple symptoms such as fever, swelling of the lymph nodes, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, bruising, or skin rash, either simultaneously or with a slight delay, contact your doctor immediately.

Taking Septrin Pediatric 8 mg/40 mg/ml Oral Suspension with other medications

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medications.

Septrin Pediatric may enhance the effect and/or toxicity of some medications. It is essential that you inform your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any of the following medications:

  • Medications used to increase urine elimination: diuretics (especially thiazides). The concomitant administration of diuretics with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole in elderly patients may have a higher risk of thrombocytopenia (decrease in platelet count) and hyponatremia (low sodium levels).
  • Oral anticoagulant medications such as warfarin. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole potentiates the anticoagulant activity of warfarin. Careful monitoring of anticoagulant treatment is recommended during the use of Septrin Pediatric.
  • Certain medications used to control blood sugar levels: oral hypoglycemics or antidiabetics (sulfonylurea).
  • Medications used to treat heart problems (digoxin). The concomitant use of trimethoprim and digoxin has shown an increase in digoxin levels in some elderly patients.
  • Medications used to treat parasitic infections (pyrimethamine). The concomitant administration of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole with doses of pyrimethamine greater than 25 mg per week may lead to the development of megaloblastic anemia (decrease in red blood cell count and increase in red blood cell size).
  • Certain medications used to treat the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): antiretrovirals (lamivudine, zidovudine). The concomitant treatment of Septrin Pediatric with zidovudine may increase the risk of adverse hematologic reactions to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; consideration should be given to monitoring blood parameters.
  • Medications that are antagonists of folic acid, such as phenytoin (used to treat epilepsy) and methotrexate (used to treat various types of cancer and also to treat rheumatoid arthritis). If trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and phenytoin are administered, the excessive effect of phenytoin should be considered. If Septrin Pediatric is administered with methotrexate, consideration should be given to the administration of a folate supplement.
  • Medications used in transplants: immunosuppressants (cyclosporin). In patients treated with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and cyclosporin, a reversible deterioration in renal function has been observed after kidney transplantation.
  • Medications that produce hyperkalemia (increase in potassium levels in the blood).
  • Medications used to control heart rhythm (class III antiarrhythmics), such as dofetilide. Elevated plasma levels of dofetilide have been reported after concomitant administration with trimethoprim.

When trimethoprim is administered with medications such as procainamide and amantadine, there is a possibility of increased plasma concentration of one or both medications.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medication.

Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole cross the placenta, and their safety in pregnant women has not been established. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole should be avoided in pregnancy, unless the potential benefit to the mother is greater than the potential risk to the fetus; consideration may be given to supplementation with high doses of folate (up to 4 or 5 mg/day) if trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is used during pregnancy.

When Septrin Pediatric is administered to the mother before birth, there may be a theoretical risk of kernicterus (severe neurological complication due to increased bilirubin levels in the blood) in the newborn. This theoretical risk is particularly important in children with a higher risk of hyperbilirubinemia, such as premature infants or those with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

The administration of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole should be avoided in the final stages of pregnancy and in breastfeeding mothers, when mothers or children have or are at particular risk of developing hyperbilirubinemia.

The medication is excreted in breast milk.

Driving and Using Machines

The influence of Septrin Pediatric on the ability to drive and use machines is negligible.
