DFZ - Frequently asked Questions

Can DFZ be stopped immediately or do I have to stop the consumption gradually to ween off?

In some cases, it always advisable to stop the intake of some medicines gradually because of the rebound effect of the medicine.

It's wise to get in touch with your doctor as a professional advice is needed in this case regarding your health, medications and further recommendation to give you a stable health condition.

What other drugs will affect DFZ?

Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using, especially:

insulin or oral diabetes medicine;
thyroid medication;
St. John's wort;
an antibiotic, antifungal medicine;
an antidepressant;
antiviral medicine (such as medicine to treat hepatitis C or HIV/AIDS);
heart or blood pressure medicine;
seizure medication;
tuberculosis medication; or
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)--aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others.

This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with DFZ, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

How should I take DFZ?

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

You may take DFZ with or without food.

Read all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

To make swallowing easier, you may crush the DFZ tablet and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of applesauce. Swallow the mixture right away without chewing. Do not save it for later use.

Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure liquid medicine using only the dosing syringe provided. If you do not have this dosing syringe, ask your pharmacist for one.

To improve the flavor of DFZ liquid, you may mix your measured dose with 3 to 4 ounces of milk or fruit juice (but not grapefruit juice). Drink this mixture right away and do not save it for later.

Call your doctor if you have signs of infection (fever, chills, body aches, sweating, mouth sores, skin sores, warmth or redness, vomiting, diarrhea, painful urination).

If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using DFZ.

You should not stop using DFZ suddenly. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Throw away any DFZ liquid that has not been used within 1 month after you first opened the bottle.

Who should not take DFZ?

any type of bacterial, fungal, or viral infection;
high blood pressure, heart disease, or a history of stroke or blood clot;
fluid retention;
diabetes;
cataracts, glaucoma, or herpes infection of the eyes;
a nerve-muscle disorder, such as myasthenia gravis;
liver disease ;
a stomach or intestinal disorder;
a colostomy or ileostomy;
low bone mineral density; or
a problem with your thyroid, pituitary gland, or adrenal gland.

Long-term use of steroids may lead to bone loss (osteoporosis), especially if you smoke, if you do not exercise, if you do not get enough vitamin D or calcium in your diet, or if you have a family history of osteoporosis.

It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

DFZ can pass into breast milk and may cause side effects in the nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding.

DFZ can affect growth in children. Tell your doctor if your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medicine.

DFZ is not approved for use by anyone younger than 5 years old.

Can DFZ be taken or consumed while pregnant?

Please visit your doctor for a recommendation as such case requires special attention.

Kindly explain your state and condition to your doctor and seek medical advice from an expert.
