|contraindications=* Condition1
|contraindications=* Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection) is contraindicated in previous [[hypersensitivity reactions]] to the drug; in acute superficial [[thrombophlebitis]]; valvular or [[deep vein incompetence]]; huge superficial veins with wide open communications to deeper veins; [[phlebitis migrans]]; acute [[cellulitis]]; allergic conditions; acute infections; [[varicosities]] caused by abdominal and [[pelvic tumors]] unless the tumor has been removed; bedridden patients; such uncontrolled systemic diseases as diabetes, toxic [[hyperthyroidism]], [[tuberculosis]], [[asthma]], [[neoplasm]], [[sepsis]], [[blood dyscrasias]] and acute respiratory or skin diseases.


<!--Warnings-->
<!--Warnings-->
|warnings=* Description
|warnings=* Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection) should only be administered by a healthcare professional experienced in venous anatomy and the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the venous system and familiar with proper injection technique. Severe adverse local effects, including [[tissue necrosis]], may occur following extravasation; therefore, extreme care in intravenous needle placement and using the minimal effective volume at each injection site are important.
 
* Emergency resuscitation equipment should be immediately available. Allergic reactions, including fatal [[anaphylaxis]], have been reported. As a precaution against [[anaphylactic shock]], it is recommended that 0.5 mL of Sotradecol be injected into a varicosity, followed by observation of the patient for several hours before administration of a second or larger dose. The possibility of an [[anaphylactic reaction]] should be kept in mind, and the physician should be prepared to treat it appropriately.
 
* Because of the danger of [[thrombosis]] extension into the deep venous system, thorough preinjection evaluation for valvular competency should be carried out and slow injections with a small amount (not over 2 mL) of the preparation should be injected into the varicosity. Deep venous patency must be determined by noninvasive testing such as [[duplex ultrasound]]. Venous [[sclerotherapy]] should not be undertaken if tests such as [[Trendelenberg]] and [[Perthes]], and [[angiography]] show significant valvular or [[deep venous incompetence]].
 
* The development of [[deep vein thrombosis]] and [[pulmonary embolism]] have been reported following sclerotherapy treatment of superficial varicosities. Patients should have post-treatment follow-up of sufficient duration to assess for the development of deep vein thrombosis. Embolism may occur as long as four weeks after injection of sodium tetradecyl sulfate. Adequate post-treatment compression may decrease the incidence of deep vein thrombosis.

=====Metabolic and Nutritional=====




<!--Mechanism of Action-->
|mechAction=* Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection) is a sclerosing agent. Intravenous injection causes intima inflammation and thrombus formation. This usually occludes the injected vein. Subsequent formation of fibrous tissue results in partial or complete vein obliteration that may or may not be permanent.


<!--Structure-->
|structure=* Sodium tetradecyl sulfate is an anionic surfactant which occurs as a white, waxy solid. The structural formula is as follows:

As a precaution against anaphylactic shock, it is recommended that 0.5 mL of Sotradecol be injected into a varicosity, followed by observation of the patient for several hours before administration of a second or larger dose. The possibility of an anaphylactic reaction should be kept in mind, and the physician should be prepared to treat it appropriately.
  • Because of the danger of thrombosis extension into the deep venous system, thorough preinjection evaluation for valvular competency should be carried out and slow injections with a small amount (not over 2 mL) of the preparation should be injected into the varicosity. Deep venous patency must be determined by noninvasive testing such as duplex ultrasound. Venous sclerotherapy should not be undertaken if tests such as Trendelenberg and Perthes, and angiography show significant valvular or deep venous incompetence.
  • The development of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism have been reported following sclerotherapy treatment of superficial varicosities. Patients should have post-treatment follow-up of sufficient duration to assess for the development of deep vein thrombosis. Embolism may occur as long as four weeks after injection of sodium tetradecyl sulfate. Adequate post-treatment compression may decrease the incidence of deep vein thrombosis.

Precautions

GENERAL

Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

Routes Intravenous injection

Mechanism of Action

  • Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection) is a sclerosing agent. Intravenous injection causes intima inflammation and thrombus formation. This usually occludes the injected vein. Subsequent formation of fibrous tissue results in partial or complete vein obliteration that may or may not be permanent.

Structure

  • Sodium tetradecyl sulfate is an anionic surfactant which occurs as a white, waxy solid. The structural formula is as follows:

  • Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection) is a sterile nonpyrogenic solution for intravenous use as a sclerosing agent.
  • 1% 20 mg/2 mL (10 mg/mL): Each mL contains sodium tetradecyl sulfate 10 mg, benzyl alcohol 0.02 mL and dibasic sodium phosphate, anhydrous 4.0 mg in Water for Injection. pH 7.9; monobasic sodium phosphate and/or sodium hydroxide added, if needed, for pH adjustment.
  • 3% 60 mg/2 mL (30 mg/mL): Each mL contains sodium tetradecyl sulfate 30 mg, benzyl alcohol 0.02 mL and dibasic sodium phosphate, anhydrous 9.0 mg in Water for Injection. pH 7.9; monobasic sodium phosphate and/or sodium hydroxide added, if needed, for pH adjustment.

Pharmacokinetics

  • Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection) is a sclerosing agent. Intravenous injection causes intima inflammation and thrombus formation. This usually occludes the injected vein. Subsequent formation of fibrous tissue results in partial or complete vein obliteration that may or may not be permanent.

Nonclinical Toxicology

CARCINOGENESIS, MUTAGENESIS, IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY
  • When tested in the L5178YTK +/- mouse lymphoma assay, sodium tetradecyl sulfate did not induce a dose-related increase in the frequency of thymidine kinase-deficient mutants and, therefore, was judged to be nonmutagenic in this system. However, no long-term animal carcinogenicity studies with sodium tetradecyl sulfate have been performed.
ANIMAL TOXICOLOGY
  • The intravenous LD50 of sodium tetradecyl sulfate in mice was reported to be 90 ± 5 mg/kg.
  • In the rat, the acute intravenous LD50 of sodium tetradecyl sulfate was estimated to be between 72 mg/kg and 108 mg/kg.
  • Purified sodium tetradecyl sulfate was found to have an LD50 of 2 g/kg when administered orally by stomach tube as a 25% aqueous solution to rats. In rats given 0.15 g/kg in drinking water for 30 days, no appreciable toxicity was seen, although some growth inhibition was discernible.
