CAMBIA Powder for oral solution Ref.[10765] Active ingredients: Diclofenac

Source: FDA, National Drug Code (US)  Revision Year: 2019 

1. Indications and Usage

1.1 Acute Treatment of Migraine

CAMBIA (Diclofenac Potassium for Oral Solution) is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults (18 years of age or older).

1.2 Important Limitations

  • CAMBIA is not indicated for the prophylactic therapy of migraine.
  • The safety and effectiveness of CAMBIA have not been established for cluster headache, which is present in an older, predominantly male population.

2. Dosage and Administration

2.1 Acute Treatment of Migraine

Administer one packet (50 mg) of CAMBIA for the acute treatment of migraine. Empty the contents of one packet into a cup containing 1 to 2 ounces or 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 mL) of water, mix well and drink immediately.

Do not use liquids other than water.

Taking CAMBIA with food may cause a reduction in effectiveness compared to taking CAMBIA on an empty stomach [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals. The safety and effectiveness of a second dose have not been established.

2.2 Interchangeability With Other Formulations of Diclofenac

Different formulations of oral diclofenac (e.g., CAMBIA, diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets, diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets, or diclofenac potassium immediate-release tablets) may not be bioequivalent even if the milligram strength is the same. Therefore, it is not possible to convert dosing from any other formulation of diclofenac to CAMBIA.

10. Overdosage

Symptoms following acute NSAID overdoses are usually limited to lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain, which are generally reversible with supportive care. Gastrointestinal bleeding can occur. Hypertension, acute renal failure, respiratory depression and coma may occur, but are rare. Anaphylactoid reactions have been reported with therapeutic ingestion of NSAIDs, and may occur following an overdose.

Patients should be managed by symptomatic and supportive care following an NSAID overdose. There are no specific antidotes. Emesis and/or activated charcoal (60 to 100 g in adults, 1 to 2 g/kg in children) and/or osmotic cathartic may be indicated in patients seen within 4 hours of ingestion with symptoms or following a large overdose (5 to 10 times the usual dose). Forced diuresis, alkalinization of urine, hemodialysis, or hemoperfusion may not be useful due to high protein binding.

16.2. Storage and Handling

Store at 25°C (77°F). Excursions permitted from 15°C-30°C (59°F-86°F).
