avkare - bupropion hydrochloride (unii: zg7e5poy8o) (bupropion - unii:01zg3tpx31) - bupropion hydrochloride 150 mg - bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (mdd), as defined by the diagnostic and statistical manual (dsm). the efficacy of the immediate-release formulation of bupropion was established in two 4-week controlled inpatient trials and one 6-week controlled outpatient trial of adult patients with mdd. the efficacy of the sustained-release formulation of bupropion in the maintenance treatment of mdd was established in a long-term (up to 44 weeks), placebo-controlled trial in patients who had responded to bupropion in an 8-week study of acute treatment [see clinical studies ( 14.1)]. bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are indicated for the prevention of seasonal major depressive episodes in patients with a diagnosis of seasonal affective disorder (sad). the efficacy of bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets in the prevention of seasonal major depressive episodes was established in 3 placebo-controlled trials in adult outpatients with a history of mdd with an autumn-winter seasonal pattern as defined in the dsm [see clinical studies ( 14.2)]. - bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are contraindicated in patients with seizure disorder. - bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are contraindicated in patients with a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa as a higher incidence of seizures was observed in such patients treated with bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) [see warnings and precautions ( 5.3)]. - bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are contraindicated in patients undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and antiepileptic drugs [see warnings and precautions ( 5.3) and drug interactions ( 7.3)]. - the use of maois (intended to treat psychiatric disorders) concomitantly with bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) or within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) is contraindicated. there is an increased risk of hypertensive reactions when bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are used concomitantly with maois. the use of bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with an maoi is also contraindicated. starting bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) in a patient treated with reversible maois such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue is contraindicated [see dosage and administration ( 2.9), warnings and precautions ( 5.4) and drug interactions ( 7.6)]. - bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to bupropion or other ingredients of bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl). anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions and stevens-johnson syndrome have been reported [see warnings and precautions ( 5.8)]. 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 data from epidemiological studies of pregnant women exposed to bupropion in the first trimester have not identified an increased risk of congenital malformations overall (see data) . there are risks to the mother associated with untreated depression (see clinical considerations) . when bupropion was administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis, there was no evidence of fetal malformations at doses up to approximately 10 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 450 mg/day. when given to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis, non-dose-related increases in incidence of fetal malformations and skeletal variations were observed at doses approximately equal to the mrhd and greater. decreased fetal weights were seen at doses twice the mrhd and greater (see animal data) . the estimated background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage are unknown for the indicated population. all pregnancies have a background rate 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 a prospective, longitudinal study followed 201 pregnant women with a history of major depressive disorder who were euthymic and taking antidepressants during pregnancy at the beginning of pregnancy. the women who discontinued antidepressants during pregnancy were more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continued antidepressants. consider the risks to the mother of untreated depression and potential effects on the fetus when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medications during pregnancy and postpartum. data human data data from the international bupropion pregnancy registry (675 first trimester exposures) and a retrospective cohort study using the united healthcare database (1,213 first trimester exposures) did not show an increased risk for malformations overall. the registry was not designed or powered to evaluate specific defects but suggested a possible increase in cardiac malformations. no increased risk for cardiovascular malformations overall has been observed after bupropion exposure during the first trimester. the prospectively observed rate of cardiovascular malformations in pregnancies with exposure to bupropion in the first trimester from the international pregnancy registry was 1.3% (9 cardiovascular malformations/675 first-trimester maternal bupropion exposures), which is similar to the background rate of cardiovascular malformations (approximately 1%). data from the united healthcare database, which has a limited number of exposed cases with cardiovascular malformations, and a case-controlled study (6,853 infants with cardiovascular malformations and 5,753 with non-cardiovascular malformations) from the national birth defects prevention study (nbdps) did not show an increased risk for cardiovascular malformations overall after bupropion exposure during the first trimester. study findings on bupropion exposure during the first trimester and risk left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (lvoto) are inconsistent and do not allow conclusions regarding possible association. the united healthcare database lacked sufficient power to evaluate this association; the nbdps found increased risk for lvoto (n = 10; adjusted odds ratio (or) = 2.6; 95% ci 1.2, 5.7), and the slone epidemiology case control study did not find increased risk for lvoto. study findings on bupropion exposure during the first trimester and risk for ventricular septal defect (vsd) are inconsistent and do not allow conclusions regarding a possible association. the slone epidemiology study found an increased risk for vsd following first trimester maternal bupropion exposure (n = 17; adjusted or = 2.5; 95% ci: 1.3, 5.0) but did not find an increased risk for any other cardiovascular malformations studied (including lvoto as above). the nbdps and united healthcare database study did not find an association between first trimester maternal bupropion exposure and vsd. for the findings of lvoto and vsd, the studies were limited by the small number of exposed cases, inconsistent findings among studies, and the potential for chance findings from multiple comparisons in case control studies. animal data in studies conducted in pregnant rats and rabbits, bupropion was administered orally during the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 450 and 150 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 10 and 6 times the mrhd, respectively, on a mg/m 2 basis). there was no evidence of fetal malformations in rats. when given to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis, non-dose-related increases in incidence of fetal malformations and skeletal variations were observed at the lowest dose tested (25 mg/kg/day, approximately equal to the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis) and greater. decreased fetal weights were observed at doses of 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis) and greater. no maternal toxicity was evident at doses of 50 mg/kg/day or less. in a pre-and postnatal development study, bupropion administered orally to pregnant rats at doses of up to 150 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the mrhd on a mg/m 2 basis) from embryonic implantation through lactation had no effect on pup growth or development. risk summary data from published literature report the presence of bupropion and its metabolites in human milk (see data) . there are no data on the effects of bupropion or its metabolites on milk production. limited data from postmarketing reports have not identified a clear association of adverse reactions in the breastfed infant. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) or from the underlying maternal condition. data in a lactation study of ten women, levels of orally dosed bupropion and its active metabolites were measured in expressed milk. the average daily infant exposure (assuming 150 ml/kg daily consumption) to bupropion and its active metabolites was 2% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose. postmarketing reports have described seizures in breastfed infants. the relationship of bupropion exposure and these seizures is unclear. safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not been established. when considering the use of bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) in a child or adolescent, balance the potential risks with the clinical need [see boxed warning and warnings and precautions ( 5.1)]. of the approximately 6,000 patients who participated in clinical trials with bupropion hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (depression and smoking cessation studies), 275 were ≥65 years old and 47 were ≥75 years old. in addition, several hundred patients ≥65 years of age participated in clinical trials using the immediate-release formulation of bupropion hydrochloride (depression studies). no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. bupropion is extensively metabolized in the liver to active metabolites, which are further metabolized and excreted by the kidneys. the risk of adverse reactions may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, it may be necessary to consider this factor in dose selection; it may be useful to monitor renal function [see dosage and administration ( 2.7), use in specific populations ( 8.6), and clinical pharmacology ( 12.3)] . consider a reduced dose and/or dosing frequency of bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) in patients with renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate: <90 ml/min). bupropion and its metabolites are cleared renally and may accumulate in such patients to a greater extent than usual. monitor closely for adverse reactions that could indicate high bupropion or metabolite exposures [see dosage and administration ( 2.7) and clinical pharmacology ( 12.3)]. in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh score: 7 to 15), the maximum bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets (xl) dose is 150 mg every other day. in patients with mild hepatic impairment (child-pugh score: 5 to 6), consider reducing the dose and/or frequency of dosing [see dosage and administration ( 2.6) and clinical pharmacology ( 12.3)]. bupropion is not a controlled substance. humans controlled clinical studies of bupropion hcl immediate-release conducted in normal volunteers, in subjects with a history of multiple drug abuse, and in depressed patients demonstrated an increase in motor activity and agitation/excitement. in a population of individuals experienced with drugs of abuse, a single dose of 400 mg bupropion produced mild amphetamine-like activity as compared to placebo on the morphine-benzedrine subscale of the addiction research center inventories (arci), and a score intermediate between placebo and amphetamine on the liking scale of the arci. these scales measure general feelings of euphoria and drug desirability. findings in clinical trials, however, are not known to reliably predict the abuse potential of drugs. nonetheless, evidence from single-dose studies does suggest that the recommended daily dosage of bupropion when administered in divided doses is not likely to be significantly reinforcing to amphetamine or cns stimulant abusers. however, higher doses (that could not be tested because of the risk of seizure) might be modestly attractive to those who abuse cns stimulant drugs. bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets are intended for oral use only. the inhalation of crushed tablets or injection of dissolved bupropion has been reported. seizures and/or cases of death have been reported when bupropion has been administered intranasally or by parenteral injection. animals studies in rodents and primates demonstrated that bupropion exhibits some pharmacologic actions common to psychostimulants. in rodents, it has been shown to increase locomotor activity, elicit a mild stereotyped behavioral response, and increase rates of responding in several schedule-controlled behavior paradigms. in primate models assessing the positive reinforcing effects of psychoactive drugs, bupropion was self-administered intravenously. in rats, bupropion produced amphetamine-like and cocaine-like discriminative stimulus effects in drug discrimination paradigms used to characterize the subjective effects of psychoactive drugs.

immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. in addition, based on expression of cd19 on b-cells and the finding of b-cell depletion in non-pregnant animals, blinatumomab can cause b-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to blinatumomab in-utero. advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. clinical considerations fetal/neonatal adverse reactions due to the potential for b-cell lymphocytopenia in infants following exposure to blincyto in utero , the infant's b lymphocytes should be monitored before the initiation of live virus vaccination [see warnings and precautions (5.11)] . data animal data animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with blinatumomab. in embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, a murine surrogate molecule was administered intravenously to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis. the surrogate molecule crossed the placental barrier and did not cause embryo-fetal toxicity or teratogenicity. the expected depletions of b and t cells were observed in the pregnant mice, but hematological effects were not assessed in fetuses. risk summary there is no information regarding the presence of blinatumomab in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from blincyto, including b-cell lymphocytopenia, advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with blincyto and for 48 hours after the last dose. blincyto may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . pregnancy testing verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating blincyto treatment. contraception females advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with blincyto and for 48 hours after the last dose. minimal residual disease (mrd)-positive b-cell precursor all the safety and efficacy of blincyto for the treatment of cd19-positive b-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) in first or second complete remission with minimal residual disease (mrd) greater than or equal to 0.1% have been established in pediatric patients. use of blincyto is supported by evidence from two randomized, controlled trials (study aall1331 nct02101853 and study 20120215 nct02393859) in pediatric subjects with first relapsed b-cell precursor all. both studies included pediatric patients with mrd-positive b-cell precursor all. the studies included pediatric patients treated with blincyto in the following age groups: 6 infants (1 month up to less than 2 years), 165 children (2 years up to less than 12 years), and 70 adolescents (12 years to less than 17 years). in general, the adverse reactions in blincyto-treated pediatric patients were similar in type to those seen in adult patients with mrd-positive all [see adverse reactions (6.1)] , and no differences in safety were observed between the different pediatric age subgroups. relapsed or refractory b-cell precursor all the safety and efficacy of blincyto have been established in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory b-cell precursor all. use of blincyto is supported by a single-arm trial in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory b-cell precursor all. this study included pediatric patients in the following age groups: 10 infants (1 month up to less than 2 years), 40 children (2 years up to less than 12 years), and 20 adolescents (12 years to less than 18 years). no differences in efficacy were observed between the different age subgroups [see clinical studies (14.2)] . in general, the adverse reactions in blincyto-treated pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory all were similar in type to those seen in adult patients with relapsed or refractory b-cell precursor all [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . adverse reactions that were observed more frequently (≥ 10% difference) in the pediatric population compared to the adult population were pyrexia (80% vs. 61%), hypertension (26% vs. 8%), anemia (41% vs. 24%), infusion-related reaction (49% vs. 34%), thrombocytopenia (34% vs. 21%), leukopenia (24% vs. 11%), and weight increased (17% vs. 6%). in pediatric patients less than 2 years old (infants) with relapsed or refractory all, the incidence of neurologic toxicities was not significantly different than for the other age groups, but its manifestations were different; the only event terms reported were agitation, headache, insomnia, somnolence, and irritability. infants also had an increased incidence of hypokalemia (50%) compared to other pediatric age cohorts (15-20%) or adults (17%). benzyl alcohol toxicity in neonates serious and fatal adverse reactions, including "gasping syndrome," can occur in very low birth weight (vlbw) neonates born weighing less than 1500 g, and early preterm neonates (infants born less than 34 weeks gestational age) treated with benzyl alcohol-preserved drugs intravenously. the "gasping syndrome" is characterized by central nervous system depression, metabolic acidosis, and gasping respirations. in these cases, benzyl alcohol dosages of 99 to 234 mg/kg/day produced high concentrations of benzyl alcohol and its metabolite in the blood and urine (blood concentration of benzyl alcohol were 0.61 to 1.378 mmol/l). additional adverse reactions included gradual neurological deterioration, seizures, intracranial hemorrhage, hematologic abnormalities, skin breakdown, hepatic and renal failure, hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. the minimum amount of benzyl alcohol at which serious adverse reactions may occur in neonates is not known [see warnings and precautions (5.12)] . use the preservative-free formulations of blincyto where possible in neonates. when prescribing blincyto (with preservative) in neonatal patients, consider the combined daily metabolic load of benzyl alcohol from all sources including blincyto (with preservative). the blincyto 7-day bag (with preservative) contains 7.4 mg of benzyl alcohol per ml [see warnings and precautions (5.12)] . benzyl alcohol administration may contribute to metabolic acidosis in pediatric patients, particularly those with immaturity of the metabolic pathway for alcohol, or those with underlying conditions or receiving concomitant medications that could predispose to acid base imbalance. monitor these patients during use of blincyto (with preservative) for new or worsening metabolic acidosis. of the total number of patients with all treated in clinical studies of blincyto, approximately 12% were 65 and over, while 2% were 75 and older. no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. however, elderly patients experienced a higher rate of serious infections and neurological toxicities, including cognitive disorder, encephalopathy, and confusion [see warnings and precautions (5.2, 5.3)] .
