DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use if precipitated or discolored. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection is for intravenous use only. The strength of solution required depends on the size and degree of varicosity.
In general, the 1% solution will be found most useful with the 3% solution preferred for larger varicosities. The dosage should be kept small, using 0.5 mL to 2 mL (preferably 1 mL maximum) for each injection, and the maximum single treatment should not exceed 10 mL.
Drug interactions
Check sodium tetradecyl against a medication listLabel text (1 paragraph)
No well-controlled studies have been performed on patients taking antiovulatory agents. The physician must use judgment and evaluate any patient taking antiovulatory drugs prior to initiating treatment with sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS section.) Heparin should not be included in the same syringe as sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection, since the two are incompatible.
Contraindications
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.
Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
Teratogenic Effects Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection. It is also not known whether sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed and the benefits outweigh the risks.
Lactation
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection is administered to a nursing woman.
For breastfeeding, also see LactMed (National Library of Medicine), which summarizes milk levels and infant effects.

Not the price at the counterThese are not what a patient pays at the pharmacy counter. They are what pharmacies, health plans, and government buyers pay, before manufacturer rebates. A patient's cost depends on their insurance (copay, coinsurance, or deductible) or the pharmacy's cash price.
