mycophenolate mofetil injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution

akorn - mycophenolate mofetil (unii: 9242ecw6r0) (mycophenolic acid - unii:hu9dx48n0t) - mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg in 20 ml - mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) is indicated for the prophylaxis of organ rejection, in adult and pediatric recipients 3 months of age and older of allogeneic kidney [see clinical studies (14.1)], heart [see clinical studies (14.2)] or liver transplants [see clinical studies (14.3)] , in combination with other immunosuppressants. allergic reactions to mycophenolate mofetil have been observed; therefore, mycophenolate mofetil is contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to mycophenolate mofetil (mmf), mycophenolic acid (mpa) or any component of the drug product. mycophenolate mofetil for injection is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to polysorbate 80 (tween). pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to mycophenolate during pregnancy and those becoming pregnant within 6 weeks of discontinuing mycophenolate mofetil treatment. to report a pregnancy or obtain information about the registry, visit www.mycophenolaterems.com or call 1-800-617-8191. risk summary use of mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of first trimester pregnancy loss and an increased risk of multiple congenital malformations in multiple organ systems [see human data] . oral administration of mycophenolate to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced congenital malformations and pregnancy loss at doses less than the recommended clinical dose (0.02 to 0.1 times the recommended clinical doses in kidney and heart transplant patients) [see animal data]. consider alternative immunosuppressants with less potential for embryofetal toxicity. risks and benefits of mycophenolate mofetil should be discussed with the pregnant woman. the estimated background risk of pregnancy loss and congenital malformations in organ transplant populations is not clear. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. data human data a spectrum of congenital malformations (including multiple malformations in individual newborns) has been reported in 23 to 27% of live births in mmf exposed pregnancies, based on published data from pregnancy registries. malformations that have been documented include external ear, eye, and other facial abnormalities including cleft lip and palate, and anomalies of the distal limbs, heart, esophagus, kidney, and nervous system. based on published data from pregnancy registries, the risk of first trimester pregnancy loss has been reported at 45 to 49% following mmf exposure. animal data in animal reproductive toxicology studies, there were increased rates of fetal resorptions and malformations in the absence of maternal toxicity. oral administration of mmf to pregnant rats from gestational day 7 to day 16 produced increased embryofetal lethality and fetal malformations including anophthalmia, agnathia, and hydrocephaly at doses equivalent to 0.015 and 0.01 times the recommended human doses for renal and cardiac transplant patients, respectively, when corrected for bsa. oral administration of mmf to pregnant rabbits from gestational day 7 to day 19 produced increased embryofetal lethality and fetal malformations included ectopia cordis, ectopic kidneys, diaphragmatic hernia, and umbilical hernia at dose equivalents as low as 0.05 and 0.03 times the recommended human doses for renal and cardiac transplant patients, respectively, when corrected for bsa. risk summary there are no data on the presence of mycophenolate in human milk, or the effects on milk production. there are limited data in the national transplantation pregnancy registry on the effects of mycophenolate on a breastfed child [see data] . studies in rats treated with mmf have shown mycophenolic acid (mpa) to be present in milk. because available data are limited, it is not possible to exclude potential risks to a breastfeeding infant. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for mycophenolate mofetil and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from mycophenolate mofetil or from the underlying maternal condition. data limited information is available from the national transplantation pregnancy registry. of seven infants reported by the national transplantation pregnancy registry to have been breastfed while the mother was taking mycophenolate, all were born at 34 to 40 weeks gestation, and breastfed for up to 14 months. no adverse events were reported. females of reproductive potential must be made aware of the increased risk of first trimester pregnancy loss and congenital malformations and must be counseled regarding pregnancy prevention and planning. pregnancy planning for patients who are considering pregnancy, consider alternative immunosuppressants with less potential for embryofetal toxicity whenever possible. risks and benefits of mycophenolate mofetil should be discussed with the patient. pregnancy testing to prevent unplanned exposure during pregnancy, all females of reproductive potential should have a serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 miu/ml immediately before starting mycophenolate mofetil. another pregnancy test with the same sensitivity should be done 8 to 10 days later. repeat pregnancy tests should be performed during routine follow-up visits. results of all pregnancy tests should be discussed with the patient. in the event of a positive pregnancy test, consider alternative immunosuppressants with less potential for embryofetal toxicity whenever possible. contraception female patients females of reproductive potential taking mycophenolate mofetil must receive contraceptive counseling and use acceptable contraception (see table 9 for acceptable contraception methods). patients must use acceptable birth control during the entire mycophenolate mofetil therapy, and for 6 weeks after stopping mycophenolate mofetil, unless the patient chooses abstinence. patients should be aware that mycophenolate mofetil reduces blood levels of the hormones from the oral contraceptive pill and could theoretically reduce its effectiveness [see drug interactions (7.2)]. - intrauterine devices (iuds) - tubal sterilization - patient's partner vasectomy - oral contraceptive pill - transdermal patch - vaginal ring - diaphragm with spermicide - cervical cap with spermicide - contraceptive sponge - male condom - female condom - injection - implant - diaphragm with spermicide - cervical cap with spermicide - contraceptive sponge - male condom - female condom male patients genotoxic effects have been observed in animal studies at exposures exceeding the human therapeutic exposures by approximately 1.25 times. thus, the risk of genotoxic effects on sperm cells cannot be excluded. based on this potential risk, s exually active male patients and/or their female partners are recommended to use effective contraception during treatment of the male patient and for at least 90 days after cessation of treatment. also, based on the potential risk of genotoxic effects, male patients should not donate sperm during treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and for at least 90 days after cessation of treatment [see use in specific populations (8.1), nonclinical toxicology (13.1), patient counseling information (17.9)] . safety and effectiveness have been established in pediatric patients 3 months and older for the prophylaxis of organ rejection of allogeneic kidney, heart or liver transplant. kidney transplant use of mycophenolate mofetil in this population is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of mycophenolate mofetil in adults with additional data from one open-label, pharmacokinetic and safety study of mycophenolate mofetil in pediatric patients after receiving allogeneic kidney transplant (100 patients, 3 months to 18 years of age) [see dosage and administration (2.2), adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.1)]. heart transplant and liver transplant use of mycophenolate mofetil in pediatric heart transplant and liver transplant patients is supported by adequate and well-controlled studies and pharmacokinetic data in adult heart transplant and liver transplant patients. additional supportive data include pharmacokinetic data in pediatric kidney transplant and pediatric liver transplant patients (8 liver transplant patients, 9 months to 5 years of age, in an open-label, pharmacokinetic and safety study) and published evidence of clinical efficacy and safety in pediatric heart transplant and pediatric liver transplant patients [see dosage and administration (2.3, 2.4), adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.1)]. clinical studies of mycophenolate mofetil did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between geriatric and younger patients. in general, dose selection for a geriatric patient should take into consideration the presence of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and of concomitant drug therapies. [see adverse reactions (6.1), drug interactions (7)]. patients with kidney transplant no dose adjustments are needed in kidney transplant patients experiencing delayed graft function postoperatively but patients should be carefully monitored [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. in kidney transplant patients with severe chronic impairment of the graft (gfr < 25 ml/min/1.73 m2 ), no dose adjustments are necessary; however, doses greater than 1 g administered twice a day should be avoided. patients with heart and liver transplant no data are available for heart or liver transplant patients with severe chronic renal impairment. mycophenolate mofetil may be used for heart or liver transplant patients with severe chronic renal impairment if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. patients with kidney transplant no dose adjustments are recommended for kidney transplant patients with severe hepatic parenchymal disease. however, it is not known whether dose adjustments are needed for hepatic disease with other etiologies [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. patients with heart transplant no data are available for heart transplant patients with severe hepatic parenchymal disease.

MIRTAZAPINE tablet, orally disintegrating САЩ - английски - NLM (National Library of Medicine)

mirtazapine tablet, orally disintegrating

aurobindo pharma limited - mirtazapine (unii: a051q2099q) (mirtazapine - unii:a051q2099q) - mirtazapine 15 mg - mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (mdd) in adults [see clinical studies (14)]. mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets are contraindicated in patients: - taking, or within 14 days of stopping, maois (including the maois linezolid and intravenous methylene blue) because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome [see warnings and precautions (5.3), drug interactions (7)]. - with a known hypersensitivity to mirtazapine or to any of the excipients in mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets. severe skin reactions, including drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (dress), stevens-johnson syndrome, bullous dermatitis, erythema multiforme and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported following the use of mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets [see warnings and precautions (5.6), adverse reactions (6.2)]. pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antidepressants during pregnancy. healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the national pregnancy registry for antidepressants at 1-844-405-6185 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/antidepressants/. risk summary prolonged experience with mirtazapine in pregnant women, based on published observational studies and postmarketing reports, has not reliably identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. there are risks associated with untreated depression in pregnancy (see clinical considerations) . in animal reproduction studies, oral administration of mirtazapine to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis revealed no evidence of teratogenic effects up to 20 and 17 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 45 mg, respectively, based on mg/m2 body surface area. however, in rats, there was an increase in postimplantation loss at 20 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. oral administration of mirtazapine to pregnant rats during pregnancy and lactation resulted in an increase in pup deaths and a decrease in pup birth weights at doses 20 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area (see data) . the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk women who discontinue antidepressants during pregnancy are more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continue antidepressants. this finding is from a prospective, longitudinal study that followed 201 pregnant women with a history of major depressive disorder who were euthymic and taking antidepressants at the beginning of pregnancy. consider the risk of untreated depression when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medication during pregnancy and postpartum. data animal data mirtazapine was administered orally to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses of 2.5, 15, and 100 mg/kg/day and 2.5, 10, and 40 mg/kg/day, respectively, which are up to 20 and 17 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 45 mg based on mg/m2 body surface area, respectively. no evidence of teratogenic effects was observed. however, in rats, there was an increase in postimplantation loss in dams treated with mirtazapine at 100 mg/kg/day which is 20 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. oral administration of mirtazapine at doses of 2.5, 15, and 100 mg/kg/day to pregnant rats during pregnancy and lactation resulted in an increase in pup deaths during the first 3 days of lactation and a decrease in pup birth weights at 20 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. the cause of these deaths is not known. the no effect dose level is 3 times the mrhd based on mg/m2 body surface area. risk summary data from published literature report the presence of mirtazapine in human milk at low levels with relative infant doses for mirtazapine ranging between 0.6 and 2.8% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose (see data) . no adverse effects on the breastfed infant have been reported in most cases of maternal use of mirtazapine. there are no data on the effects of mirtazapine on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for mirtazapine and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from mirtazapine or from the underlying maternal condition. data in a published pooled analysis of 8 breastfeeding mother-infant pairs, the mean (min, max) total relative infant doses for mirtazapine and its desmethyl metabolite were 1.5% (0.6%, 2.8%) and 0.4% (0.1%, 0.7%) of the maternal weight-adjusted dose (median (min, max) dose of 38 mg (30 mg, 120 mg), respectively). no adverse drug effects were reported for any of the infants. the safety and effectiveness of mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets have not been established in pediatric patients with mdd. two placebo-controlled trials in 258 pediatric patients with mdd have been conducted with mirtazapine, and the data were insufficient to establish the safety and effectiveness of mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets in pediatric patients with mdd. antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric patients [see boxed warning and warnings and precautions (5.1)]. in an 8-week-long clinical trial in pediatric patients receiving doses between 15 to 45 mg per day, 49% of mirtazapine-treated patients had a weight gain of at least 7%, compared to 5.7% of placebo-treated patients. the mean increase in weight was 4 kg (2 kg sd) for mirtazapine-treated patients versus 1 kg (2 kg sd) for placebo-treated patients [see warnings and precautions (5.7)]. approximately 190 patients ≥65 years of age participated in clinical studies with mirtazapine. mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets are known to be substantially excreted by the kidney (75%), and the risk of decreased clearance of this drug is greater in patients with impaired renal function. pharmacokinetic studies revealed a decreased clearance of mirtazapine in the elderly [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. sedating drugs, including mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets, may cause confusion and over-sedation in the elderly. elderly patients may be at greater risk of developing hyponatremia. caution is indicated when administering mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets to elderly patients [see warnings and precautions (5.12), (5.15) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be conservative, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. the clearance of mirtazapine is reduced in patients with moderate to severe renal or hepatic impairment. consequently, plasma mirtazapine levels may be increased in these patient groups, compared to levels observed in patients without renal or hepatic impairment. dosage decrease may be necessary when administering mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets to patients with moderate to severe renal or hepatic impairment [see warnings and precautions (5.13), use in specific populations (8.5), and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets contain phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets contain the following amount of phenylalanine: 1.5 mg in 15 mg orally disintegrating tablet, 3 mg in 30 mg orally disintegrating tablet, and 4.5 mg in 45 mg orally disintegrating tablet [see warnings and precautions (5.16)].
